Make sure you understand what kind of tire you need . All-season tires will satisfy the largest percentage of consumers, but models for SUVs and other trucks are different than those for cars and minivans.

Performance tires are appropriate only if you're willing to sacrifice some degree of all-weather versatility, tread life and price to improve your car's acceleration and handling.
