Q:I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX Sedan and still have the original tires on it. I was thinking of replacing them but didn‘t realize how many brands and types of tires are out there. Can someone please point me in the right direction on what types of tires I should consider.

Original Equipment Size: 185/70-14 OEM is Good Year Integrity at $ 53/tire or Firestone FR 690 at $ 74/tire My recommendation would be: Bridgestone Turanza EL 400 at $63/tire (touring all season) or Yokohama AVID touring (all season) at $53/tire

Q:How aircraft tires differ from car and other road tiresin general?

Very nice write up Eric! I might add that they are also filled with nitrogen because it expands less with increased temperatures.

Q:I took my car to a shop to have 2 rear tires put on once I pulled out of the parking lot the car was shaking a little bit and was doing until febuary when the rear passenger side tire went flat the tire was shredded when I pulled over I went and got a new tire put on and now that tire is going flat to the car was still shaking when I drive it after putting the new tire on what are things that could be causing this?

It's got a puncture (maybe a bad value, but puncture is more likely). Replace the inner tube, and check the inside tire for glass, tacks, or thorns that may have cut the casing. You can buy tires that are more resistant, but flats are just part of the cycling experience and happen to the best of us.

Q:I am looking to open a tire center, and I need info on where to purchase tires to keep in stock, and still be able to sell at comparable prices with other tire centers.

Go to the websites of the brands you want to sell. Most websites will have a contact number, use that to find out how to become a dealer.

Q:the orignal tire size of my car with the rims are 185-65R-14if i use a tire size 185-70R-14will it fit on the orignal rims of the car?

The tire will fit the rim. The 185 is the width of the tire and that remains the same. The number changing is the aspect ratio and by increasing the number you are increasing the outside diameter of the tire. This will alter the speedometer as well as the handling of the vehicle. It is always wise to use recommended tire sizes for any vehicle. There are alternate sizes however. Contact your dealer for recommended size options from the manufacturer of the vehicle. This will make sure your car still performs safely.

Q:Which tires would be best for my 08 Buick Lucerne. I get a lot of snow in my area, so the best all season tire?

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avCGT I've had two high-speed blowouts on a loaded cruiser. the front, believe it or not, is easier to control, if your arms are strong enough. Plus, you can use the rear brake. You can't use any brakes if the rear blows. When the rear blows, the bike slides full-lock one way, then the other. It continues to do this as you slow, ever so slowly. When you get down to 20-30mph is when it gets really bad, as that's when the tire truly goes flat and tries to walk off the rim. If it gets off the rim, it'll lock the wheel. Just stay with it and let it slow at its own rate; remember, it isn't safe until it's STOPPED. Stand on the pegs and grab the tank with your knees. Pull the clutch, so the engine doesn't fight the grip. Let the bike do what it needs to do, but stay in control, all the way to full stop.

Q:I‘m talking about tire shine stuff, like black magic. Being on two narrow tires seems like it might be dangerous to have any oily stuff on the tires. Do they make some kind of tire dressing that is safe on motorcycle tires?

Q:Do vehicle tyres have a sell-by date, and how would a customer know whether the tyres being fitted to their vehicle have not been degrading over years in the depot?

the tires do have a date on them it kind of like this 2224 means 22 weeks of 2004.i saw it on the internet where some tire business will sell these old unused tires as brand new ones and the older they are the most likely your gonna have some problems,like tire blow outs from tire just pretty much fall apart.it was said the some of the major stores like sears was one.hate to mention them but it was said and interviewed,but there s others.you have to know where your looking for the numbers.it s in a oval rectangular with some numbers,i believe it s the last numbers that will tell you the year it was made.as for sell by date they do have so many years but not more than 2 yrs but i could be wrong.best thing you can do call a tire manufacture and ask them about it and how to look at brand new tires on the made date.it s your money and your life.

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

Here is an easy example: 120/90-18 120=120mm wide / 90=90% of width is the profile(90% of 120mm heigth) -18=18inch rim... A 120/80-18 would be the same width (120mm)but lower profile since it's aspect ratio is only 80% of the width instead of 90%

Q:i was looking for some truck tires for my jeep and bias tires seem to be popular when it comes to these big tires. whats the advantage of a bias tire vs. a radial? and why are bias tires not street legal in some states?

Hi Jay. I disagree with you about Bias tires being illegal in some states, that's totally untrue. If your Jeep is an older one, (70s and earlier), than bias ply tires are your best bet. The suspension wasn't designed for radials back in those days.Most radial tires are not built for off road use, as you can knock a hole in the sidewall from just about anything. Check with your tire dealer for the application for your needs. Be sure to tell them what you are planning to do. Contact me via here for advice on which tire to buy.
