How do I know when it's time to get new tires?

The wear and tear will tell you. Most manufacturers offer warranties covering the tires for four years from the date you purchased your vehicle, or five years from the week the tires were manufactured. Also, if you put a lot of miles on your vehicle and you see obvious signs of wear, make the investment.

Should I buy winter tires in winter?

Winter tires can handle the seasonal road conditions better than summer tires. They are created to provide outstanding performance when temperatures drop below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I mount my new tires onto wheels by myself?

No because it can be a dangerous job. Without the proper tools and procedures, a tire could explode, causing injury or worse yet, death. It is recommended to have a qualified tire service pro take care of this for you.
