Have you ever tried shopping for tires online? Did you just find the first set you found or do you search on different sites to compare prices? What if you could find the right tires and get them for the lowest price all at one site? If you’d like to learn more about a website that allows you to find the best deals on tires, don’t miss this episode of Gain Traction!

What if there were a legitimate site where you could find the best deals on tires in the same way Priceline helps you find the best deals on travel? According to Tim Shaffer of Search Tires, that service exists in Florida and is likely headed to other markets soon. Are you ready to change how you shop for tires online?

In this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Tim for a conversation about searchtires.com, a website where you can find the right tires for your vehicle at the lowest price. It helps you find the right size tires, shows where they’re offered near you, and displays the price at each location. Tim talks about how he came up with the idea, the process for a tire customer to find the right fit, and how Search Tires makes sure it has the most accurate and up-to-date information at all times. Tune in!

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
  • Tim Shaffer explains why Search Tires is advantageous for the consumer
  • How Search Tires learns about what each shop charges for in-house fees
  • Why Search Tires can be considered “Priceline for tires”
