How we enhanced conversion rates and product discovery for a leading US tire retailer
About the project
Priority Tire, a prominent online tire retailer, approached us with a website that, while functional, lacked modern design and optimal user experience. The primary challenge was that tires are not typical e-commerce products, selection hinges on specific parameters rather than visuals, and most users are not tire experts.
Our objective was to redesign the platform to facilitate quick, confident decision-making through intuitive navigation, smarter search, and streamlined product presentation.
25%
conversion lift expected from improved product pages, upsells, and smoother checkout.
20%
product discovery boost projected from upgraded search, simplified navigation, and smarter filtering.
Modernized visual identity while preserving brand familiarity
We refreshed the website’s look with a clean, contemporary UI that aligns with current design standards, ensuring the site feels fresh yet recognizable. Maintaining brand consistency was vital to retain customer trust and loyalty, balancing innovative visuals with familiar elements.
Redesigned the search and navigation for seamless user journeys
We overhauled all entry points, including the search bar, header navigation, and the Find Tires widget, making them smarter and more intuitive. Features include proactive suggestions, multiple search parameters (size, purpose, product), and a mobile-optimized streamlined flow. The Find Tires tool was restructured to prioritize vehicle selection, simplifying the process for non-expert users.

Elevated product catalog to facilitate confident choices
The catalog pages were transformed into dynamic, user-centric spaces. We introduced horizontal navigation, related categories, and tailored suggestions to assist users in narrowing options efficiently. Product cards now highlight key attributes like seasonality, warranty, and purpose, with a cleaner layout that minimizes visual clutter. Filters were optimized to emphasize the most relevant options, including rating-based filtering, enhancing decision speed and confidence.
Created product pages that sell
We prioritized critical information on product pages, ensuring clarity for both novices and experts. Additional features, such as recommended accessories and comparison tables, were integrated directly into the product interface to encourage exploration and facilitate upselling. This comprehensive approach increased user engagement and improved conversion potential.
Optimized checkout process focused on delivery clarity
Recognizing the importance of delivery options, we designed a flexible, transparent checkout flow. Users can select from multiple delivery methods ship to installer, mobile installer, or home delivery with minimal steps. Delivery options are prominently displayed early in the process. Promo codes are easily accessible, and multiple payment and express checkout methods are available to expedite transactions, reducing cart abandonment.
Developed a design focused on conversion enhancements
Throughout the platform, we embedded strategic elements to boost conversions such as guiding users from empty states with relevant offers and helpful widgets. Interactive banners with 3D effects and real product previews make promotions engaging and actionable. These enhancements ensure continuous user engagement and facilitate smooth progression through the sales funnel.
