Q:were can i find used low profile tires in Jacksonville fl?

Sam's club doesn't balance tires. I'd stay away from them. Go with Bridgestone or a local tire shop.

Q:Should I change my tires already?

All tires have different mileage lifes. I went nearly 60,000 miles on a set of michilens. Proper balance, rotation at 10,000 mile intervals will increase the life of tires. I know Goodyear Eagles are soft tires and usually do not have a very long life. Depends on the grade of rubber. Also proper inflation helps care for tires. Driving habits, types of roads play in wear as well. Also the front end being aligned correctly helps them last longer as well.

Q:What is the steel thing in the middle of the tires of the car?

The wheel is a cylindrical metal part with a shaft as the center for supporting the tire. In layman's terms, the position of the axle in which the axle is installed is the important zero point of the brake drum (brake disc), the wheel and the axle part.

Q:What is the flattening ratio of car tires?

What you mean is the flatness ratio of the tire.

Q:I live in Quebec so studs are legal and winter tires are mandatory by law from Dec 15 - March 15. Our old set of winter tires lasted us 3 seasons and we‘re considering getting (new) studded tires next winter.Do the studs provide extra life for your tires? My husband was told they can last 2 years longer because once the studs are gone you still have a decent winter tire. Is this true? Can a tire be re-studded? Or once the studs are gone are you just driving around on nubs?

Studded tires can last longer ( depending upon of course how they are used ). I have a set that has lasted four seasons, but I drive them gently. They are ready for another season. YES, a quality tire shop can remove old and put new studs in a tire. PEACE

Q:What is the effect of the tires on the car tires?

Each tire brand design will be different. The same brand of tires, different patterns represent different product positioning. Different specifications to choose the pattern is not the same.

Q:Why the car tire pressure will be puncture

Tire pressure is too low, tread and ground friction increases, rolling resistance increases, resulting in a sharp increase in carcass temperature, tread rubber softening, aging speed, causing the carcass partial delamination and tread wear intensified. In this case, it is likely that a puncture will occur.

Q:I need to buy tires for my car, but this is the first time I am buying tires. I have offers from Sullivan Tires and Town fair tires. Sullivan tires is offering me YOKOHAMA AVID TRZ for $70.87 (with 13.99 for balancing and $60 for alignment) while The Town fair tire is offering me BRIDGESTONE INSIGNIA SE200 for $72.00/tire (with 12.95 for balancing and front alignment INCLUDED). Which TIRE / DEAL should I go for? I will really appreciate any suggestions since I am completely new with this tire buying thing.

I had to buy tires last year and I went through the same thing. Since I don't know anything useful about the different tire brands, I started by looking at the tires in the price range I was limited to. Then from there, I looked at the warranty for each tire I looked at. I also checked my cars' manual to make sure I got the right size. Then, I looked at what was included. If the Bridgestone tires have a warranty you are comfortable with, I woudl go with those since the alignment is included. You woudl think the balancing would be included as well but every place has its' own deals. My car did not need an alignment when I bought the tires, and now that there are 20k miles on them, I still don't need one. To answer your original question, you need an alignment when you drive down a straight road and take your hands off the wheel, and your car does not continue moving straight. OR If you step on the brakes, the car tries to pull either left or right.

Q:I have a GMC Savana and need snow tires. Any recommendations? Should I get them studded?

Most states have laws about studded tires because they tear-up pavement. Most have a start date an end date when they must be removed, so better check where you live. They aren't that good on snow, just ice, so what will you be driving in ? Get a pair of real snow tires, should do fine.

Q:So I‘m going to buy all new tires for my car (‘97 Acura RL), also I live in New England. I was wondering what the difference between regular tires and snow tires is. We will most likely get a lot of snow this year. Should I buy 4 snow tires? Are they okay to drive when theres no snow or do they wear out faster or something? Should I just get regular tires? Thanks in advance

Snow tires are meant for traveling in snow only. They are not meant for dry conditions. Most people will buy an extra set of tires for snow and run regular all season radials when it isn't the dead of winter. You cannot run on snow tires all year long. You can only run them in the 3 or 4 months when you are most likely to encounter snow.
