From a safety perspective, it is better to go to a 4S shop, as they can provide original tires with warranties. However, if you want to save money, you can choose an outside shop. Below are some precautions when changing tires: 1. When changing tires, you should replace them with the same type. The specifications of passenger car tubeless tires include not only size parameters but also usage parameters, which indicate the maximum safe speed and load capacity of the tire. 2. When selecting tires, it is also important to avoid mixing different types of tires. For example, do not combine tires suitable for off-road vehicles with those for regular cars, or mix directional sports car tires with standard tires. 3. Additionally, try to avoid retreaded tires when purchasing. Some small roadside shops often sell retreaded tires as new ones, so consumers should be cautious. Identifying retreaded tires is simple: the most common method is to observe the color and gloss of the tire. Retreaded tires tend to have duller colors and less shine, so avoid purchasing such tires blindly.
