Q:So I have a 95 civic ex with 17 inch tires.I‘ve been thinking of going back to stock with 14 inch tires. Will putting smaller tires lower my car to the ground?

All other elements left unchanged, yes, because it's quite a drop that should be compensated by adopting a proper aspect ratio (/50, /45.) and/or suspension mods.

Q:How does the car tires change?

Because the weight of the body is not evenly distributed on the four tires, often transposition absolutely help to ensure uniform wear of the tire, thereby extending the tire life. Usually the front-wheel drive vehicle should be transposed every 8,000 km, while the four-wheel drive vehicle needs to be transposed every 6,000 km. The first time the tire is tilted, the tire's inflation pressure must follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Q:All season tires . no humming sounds like those in Z-rated tires . good lookin normal original size ! price range 100-125 each !

The speed rating has nothing to do with how noisy a tire is. That is a question of overall design and wear. Your car takes a tire sized 205/50R17 XL 93V which sucks for you if you don't like tires with a high speed rating because you have no choice. Its also a rare size which limits your options. The Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season or Assurance Tripletread, Michelin Pilot Sport AS, or Continental ProContact should suit your noise requirements. Only the Goodyear Eagle GT or Kuhmo Ecsta LX will fall into your price point. I generally don't encourage the use of all-season tires with cars like this. If you live where it snows an all-season tire will be totally inadequate on a powerful rear-drive car like this and if you don't live where it snows or even gets really cold you don't need an all-season tire. A high performance summer tire like the Bridgestone RE760 Sport will work better and be more fun to drive. Get a second set of dedicated winter tires if you live in the snow belt.

Q:my tires are wearing inside and outside is that hubs or ball joints?

tire wear on both sides is low air in tire 95% of time

Q:this is the first time for me buying tires. i have a 2002 dodge intrepid SE. i can‘t afford to buy super expensive tires, so i‘m wondering which ones to buy and where. my question is: what‘s the difference between passenger tires and performance tires? what would be good for my car?

A performance tire has been tested and has to have a speed rating posted on performance. Normal passenger tires are only guaranteed to perform at highway speed (usually the upper limit is 70) without failure. Speed rating does not mean that a tire will give better mileage or stand up to road hazards better than a standard tire. In my humble opinion the extra cost of performance tires cannot be justified unless you are actually going to be driving at high speed.

Q:proper tire pressure for bikcycles

The tire pressure range is printed on the side of the tire.

Q:I got a flat tire, didn‘t know how so I go and put more air in the tire and notice that it is coming out of the little tube which you put the air in through, it is almost like the tube rubbed up against the rim and slit the a whole in the that tubeBasically is there any way I can repair that instead of getting a whole new tire?I bought that green slime stuff and tried that, the botte suggested it wouldn‘t work but I thought for eight bucks it was worth a shotdidnt work tho

A tire shop can replace the valve stem for you. Just a few bucks. They won't appreciate that you put the green slime in however. That stuff is OK for bicycle and lawn mower tires but not for highway tires.

Q:I‘ve seen colored tires but they still have a black base. Is colored rubber not the same texture and consistency, or not as durable? I want some purple sparkly tires! Why don‘t they make custom colorful tires? I think some transparent ones would be cool too. So why not?

I've seen tires made in all the primary colors and some patterns like snow camo'. The Kenda Red Millville tire, for example, is made for demands of mixed terrain just as are standard black Millville's. I don't recall a sparkly but that dosen't mean they don't exist.

Q:what is a tire rotation and what happens if you don‘t get it rotated over certain period of time. what will the results be? and when should one get their tires rotated every time? thanks

tires are rotated front to back every other oil change. tires that are not rotated will ware more than tires that are not rotated.this is also a good way to keep the brakes checked.

Q:97Y What does it mean for car tires?

97 indicates that the maximum load that can be carried is 730 kg, and Y indicates that the acceptable speed limit is 300 km / h. The load index is the maximum load that a tire can bear in the form of code.
