The width of the tire is its thickness. If your tire is labeled as 195/70 R14, it means that it is 195 mm in width. The profile of the tire is a measure of its sidewall height. For the tire we just mentioned, the profile is 70, i.e. it is 70% of the total width. The standard profile is 82. So, if the profile isn’t mentioned, it means the tire’s profile is 82% of its total width. The third measurement is rim. For this tire, the rim size is 14.

The Rubber Cracking

Rubber is the basic material used in making the tire and so it is a good thing to check how much wear and tear the rubber used in the tire has undergone. You need to especially check the tread and the sidewall. Observe minutely for any cracks. Surface cracks are all right.

Signs of Repair and Wear and Tear

You can ask the seller upfront if the tire has been repaired at any time. If there are any repairs, they mustn’t be anything major. It depends on how the repair job was handled. If it was a good job, there shouldn’t be any problem for you.

Scalloping

Scalloping is the term used to refer to unevenness of tires which could be caused due to misalignment or a problem with the suspension of the vehicle it was fitted onto. This is mostly an orientation problem and it shouldn’t affect the functionality of the tires in any major way; still it is good to check that these problems don’t exist. If they do, there could be problems of a bumpy and noisy ride ahead of you.

The Type of Tire

You need to ensure yourself that the tire you are buying is of the right type. For instance, you might need a snow tire; so you have to make sure you are getting that. There are usually pictures of the tires on the websites that have used tires for sale, but they may not tell you everything. Don’t hesitate to post questions if you are confused.
