Q:Okay.Here's the deal:Got 4 new Tires and Alignment in August.Car Runs GREAT.UNTILI Had my Tires Rotated Yesterday (Way over due I know)Now Car feels like it's pulling to the right.Could this be uneven wear on the tires and the pull will lessen as the tread gets used to the rotationOR do I need an alignment again?

Heres the skinny. and you said it yourself, you waited too long to rotate the tires and it is the tire wear what is causing the problem. I did the same thing. We live and learn.

Q:Is it better winter tires to be wide or thin. I mean the surface that comes to contact with the snow, for a better grip, on snow and ice.

The best traction comes from tyres rated with the snowflake symbol. M+S tyres are a slight improvement over all-season tyres in snow and ice, but can't hold a candle to true snow and ice-rated tyres. Get the proper size for your car as recommended by your tire shop or dealer.

Q:Need to replace back two tires for Porsche 911 Carrera. Any recommendations?

While it's true that all four tires should match - have similar characteristics - be aware that sometimes different tread designs from the same manufacturer are ok, if both fronts treads are the same and both back treads are the same. Porsche specifically develops tires for each of their 911 models in conjunction with tire manufacturers. Brands that are certified are indicated by N0, N1, N2, etc. molded on the tires (N0 was original equipment; N1 is the first tire certified for replacement use; etc). Example: you can buy Michelin Pilot Sports either with or without the N designator. The certified Porsche N tires cost more though they may look identical to the non-certified ones. That said, I've recently been running tires on my 911 Turbo that I can recommend for both street and track. I've been using them both places and I'm amazed at the all-around performance. They're not Hoosiers, but the track grip is impressive and they wear wonderfully on the street. I've had them at 110 mph on a wet track and they felt good (rain tires!). And they're not as loud as the Bridgestone Potenzas that came on the car; I put those on its dress wheels, and now I'm wondering if I'll ever use those tires and wheels again. These are Kumho Ecsta SPTs. They have heat and wear ratings like a street tire, yet perform well on the track. Some people have suggested to me that there are even better Kumho models I should try. An upscale tire store sales weeney suggested I should be ashamed of putting cheap tires on such an expensive car. (They run about a quarter to a third the cost of Pirelli PZeros, Michelin Pilot Sports, etc).

Q:Will the car tires go to the safety line?

In addition, the damaged tires should also pay attention to whether the need for replacement, such as the lack of rolling tires can still run in the inflatable state, but because the tire internal structure may have been damaged, it is recommended to replace the new tire The In particular, it should be reminded that drum tires can not continue to use.

Q:Which number in the tire size determines the profile of the tire...and is the smaller the number the lower profile

they all determine but the first number is how tall the tire is the second is how wide..the wheel size bigger the wheel smaller the profile.... the last is the size of wheel.... whats the size of tire you working with.... here try this site you can put in your info and get a somewhat of what you need

Q:I have a 06 yukon thats uses 265 70 16 tires and they are getting to that point to where its time for new tires my brother has a pretty decent set of tires that still have a lot of tread on them but they are 255 70 16 before i go spend 600+ will these tires affect anything

That's not enough difference to matter. On my truck I'm currently running three 215 65 15 tires and one 215 70 15 tire. And the spare, which I have used a few times, is a 205 65 15.

Q:with the stock rim being 15x 6.5 and the current rim being 15x7 how much does that change the tire size and width when changing tires

Not much, a tire that fit on the stock wheel should work with the current wheel.

Q:Tire question

Dont buy anything w/o reading the non-profit testing group, CR. They do big studies of car tires. In addtion to longevity, consider performance in rain n snow, noise, rolling resistance, etc.

Q:Im in need of a new set of tires. I have an 05 Laredo 4x4 v6, do you have any suggestions? Thanks

If you are wanting tires for strictly on the road, Goodyear Fortera makes excellent tires (either Triple Tread or Silent Armor) but if you are wanting a good tire that also is good if you ever go off-road, or muddy fields, Bridgestone Dueller make excellent tires and they have nice white lettering too that looks nice!

Q:I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra XE. It weighs roughly 3500 poundsand has Uniroyal Laredo 265-70R15 tires. On the door panel of the truck it gives one specific PSI, and then on the tire itself it gives another specific PSIWhich one should I go by? The tires say 44 PSI and the door jam says 26 PSI ???

usually you want to go with what the tire says. since all tires are different, they all have a unique psi that is recommended for that specific tire. if the tire says 44, do like 38-42 psi. 26 psi is way to low, you will get terrible gas mileage and possibly blow out a tire
