Q:What should the tire pressure be for a 1991 Ford Escort LX? I cannot find it on the sticker on the door.

I'd go with what DoggFishEgg said. Do NOT ever use the pressure stated on the tyre itself. That is the maximum recommended pressure that the tyre is designed to take, and will always be a lot higher than the pressure recommended for any car that tyre is fitted to.

Q:The tire says 35 pounds, and the door jam says 30 pounds

The sticker on the door is for the tires that were originally placed on the car. If you still have the original tires you should go by the door, if you bought new tires, you should go by what the tires say.

Q:I want to know the correct tyre pressure for my Hyundai Verna with Tyre size 175/70/R14 and it also has alloy rims. I have heard that one needs to increase the Tyre pressure after installing alloy wheels. Is that true ?

The pressure on the door jam is for the stock wheel and tire combo. It is usually lower than what is labeled on the tire. Car companies don't like to run the tires at the recommended pressure on the tire because they want it to ride nice.If you want to get good life out of the tire use the rating on the tire. The tire manufactures put that pressure rating on there for a reason.

Q:tire says 44 max. How much tire pressure should be in the Winter Tire

For- during the day time. Against- in the evening time. I have one, but used it 3 years ago. I have cats and one of them sleeps with me in the evening. So, I haven't used the electric blanket.

Q:How often do you buy new tires.a guy told me to get new tires.i had these 3 years

It's possible you have to replace it. It depends on how much wear it has. Like the other guy said below 1/8 you need to replace the tire because wet traction is highly compromised. As for age. You look signs of dry rot. Basically the rubber has dried a big and you'll see a little bit of cracking. This could happen on tires 5 years and older.

Q:Will 225/45-18 tires fit 18x8.5 wheels?

18x8 rims have been an determination on your 06 MX5. yet with a 215/40-18 tire length. The 225 width tires could be somewhat too huge and reason some clearance issues. 215/40-18 may be the right determination.

Q:My 2001 VW Cabrio, The drivers side tire has been shaking for only about 5 seconds then smoothes out. I have had the tires aligned, changed the shocks, springs, and had all the ball joints checked. everything is ok.What else would make my drivers side tire wobble.

Check your rubber bushes. Get the tyres balanced. Get your brake pads and disc checked.

Q:I had got 2 used tires from this place not too long ago.After I put them on my car starts bumping.I know my car needs an alignment but it shoudnt be bumping like it was.Later,my mom had a blow out.All the metal inside the tire came out on the side.The tire had small cracks in it as well.Was the tire bad?At the same time I had a bent rim on the other side but that tire didnt blow.I been riding on it smooth before I got those 2 used tires.

God has no interest in New Age or whatever that is you are posting. Homosexuality is a sin.

Q:I went in for a tire repair and they told me they could not repair it due to side wall damage. So they asked me if I wanted to replace the tire for $137. Am I being to paranoid or did they rip me off? (tire size- 205/60r16)

Danial, First off, yes, a tire that has sidewall damage has little or no chance of being repaired, so a replacement is almost always necessary. Secondly, as far as the price it depends greatly on the specific model of tire you purchased. If it was a top quality tire, such as the Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring, then paying $137 is quite fair. However, if you got a lesser brand model, like a Fuzion or Firestone, then yes, you probably over paid.

Q:Hi I want to change 2 tires for Honda accord 4dr V6 -2000Mileage 109000I don't know which company tires will be goodand if winter tires are good for all year use ?Sears charging me 500$ for 4 tires and 300 for 2 tires. I don't know if this is what it should cost...Suggest me cheap and best place in Chicago, IL regionThanks

The correct tire size for your vehicle is P205/65R15 92V. Because your vehicle as the V6 it is highly recommended that you not step down to a tire with a lower service description than 92V (like the more common but inferior 92H or 92T for example) as that will reduce the handling and braking capability of the vehicle. If you want cheap tires then you should not have bought the V6 model with its special tire requirements. Tires I can recommend for this model for someone living in the Chicago area would include: BF Goodrich Traction T/A (mid-priced and long wearing). Michelin MXV4+ (the tire that came on the car when new, not cheap in any way). Continental Extreme Contact (relatively cheap and good in snow but don't wear well). Kuhmo Ecsta ASX (cheapest of the bunch). It is always best to replace all 4 tires at the same time so you have equal traction at the front and rear axles and can maintain a proper tire maintenance schedule. If you must replace only two tires the new tires absolutely should be installed on the REAR AXLE as per industry guidelines. Michelin Tire was recently sued successfully for $34 million because a shop put 2 new tires on the front and the car spun and turned one of the passengers into a quad. If your tire installer does not put them on the rear axle they are quite frankly not knowledgable industry professionals and should not be entrusted with so much as checking your tire pressures.
