Transparency in Our Recommendations and Earnings
At Best Tires Hub, we believe in honesty and clarity. This page explains how we fund our site and how our affiliate partnerships work—so you can trust that our advice is genuine, even when we earn a commission.
What Is an Affiliate Program?
Many online retailers, including Amazon, offer affiliate programs. These allow websites like ours to earn a small commission when readers click our product links and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you.
Think of it like a referral fee: we refer you to a product you’re interested in, and if you buy it, the retailer thanks us with a small percentage. This does not increase the price you pay.
How We Use Affiliate Links
You’ll notice some links on our site—especially in tire reviews, comparison tables, and “where to buy” sections—are affiliate links. These links:
- Are clearly marked or appear in context as product recommendations
- Direct you to trusted retailers like Amazon, Tire Rack, Discount Tire, and others
- Help support our research, testing, and site operations
Our Editorial Integrity Comes First
We want to be absolutely clear:
✅ We do not accept payment for reviews.
Our ratings and recommendations are based on real testing, research, and expertise—never on commissions or partnerships.
✅ Affiliate earnings do not influence our opinions.
A negative review of a tire will still contain affiliate links if we mention where to buy it. Our priority is your trust, not maximizing earnings.
✅ We recommend what we believe in.
If we don’t believe a tire is right for most drivers, we won’t recommend it—even if it has a high commission rate.
✅ We disclose our relationships openly.
This page and disclaimer notices across the site make our affiliate partnerships transparent.
Where You’ll See Disclaimers
- At the top of review articles: “As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.”
- Beside comparison tables: “We may earn a commission if you buy through our links.”
- In sidebar or footer notices: “Best Tires Hub participates in affiliate programs.”
- On pricing or “deal” pages: “Prices may change. Commissions help support our site.”
These disclaimers are required by the FTC to ensure you’re fully informed.
How Affiliate Earnings Support Our Work
The commissions we earn help us:
- Purchase tires for independent testing
- Maintain and improve our website
- Invest in research tools and data sources
- Keep our content free for all readers
Without affiliate income, we’d need to rely on ads, sponsored content, or paid subscriptions—all of which we believe would compromise the unbiased, helpful experience we want to offer.
Your Trust Matters Most
We founded Best Tires Hub to cut through marketing hype and help real drivers. Our credibility depends on your trust—and that means being upfront about how we operate.
If you ever feel a review seems biased or overly promotional, please call us out. Email hello@besttireshub.com and we’ll revisit our analysis.
Common Questions
Do you earn the same commission on all products?
No—commission rates vary by retailer and product category. This does not affect what we recommend.
Should I buy through your links if I want to support you?
If you find our reviews helpful, purchasing through our links is a great way to support our work. Thank you!
What if I return a product bought through your link?
Commissions are reversed on returns, so we only earn when you keep the product.
Are you affiliated with tire manufacturers?
No. We work with retailers, not manufacturers, to maintain independence.
A Final Note
We’re grateful for your visit—whether you click a link or not. Our goal is to help you make smarter tire decisions. If our advice saves you money, improves your safety, or simply brings peace of mind, we’ve done our job.
