Q:is this a decent tire?

Our four wheeled 'friends' steer much differently. On a bike you are leaning more than steering. If you look at the size and tread pattern of most bikes you will notice that they usually have close to the same diameter overall but the front is usually a larger rim. This is because of the gyro/weight/control factor that a larger (read heavier) wheel would put on that dynamics. You should also notice that the tread pattern is reversed, this is done fore two reasons. One the front pattern is angled to 'wash-away' water for more traction to the rear in it's same path but also to give you more of a 'cat's-paw' effect in the road surface.

Q:How are these tires on ice?

they do not rare any tire as being superior on ice.the rubber get hard and the ice does not allow for traction.

Q:We just bought a preowned Lexus 2006 ES330. When I drive through even little bummpy road I hear nose from the back. It seems that the tires touch the suspension. The dealer has put M+S P245/45 R18 tires. When I see the manual, Lexus suggests to put P215/60 R 16 tires. Is the tire that deal has put ok?

tire sizes are on drivers door sticker and most likely who had it before you added larger wheels and possible tires are rubbing any tire shop can help you find or fix problem

Q:What is the difference between soft and hard tyres?

A softer tire will grip better, but wear faster. A hard tire will have less grip, but last longer. Some newer tires have a hard compound in the middle sipes and a soft compound for the outer shoulder blocks since the outer parts of the tire grip more in turns. There's no tire that lasts a long time, is sporty and great in all weather. Also, weather is a factor. Many tires are meant for summer and are usually soft tires, but snow tires are also pretty soft. The different temperature tires are basically useless outside of their temp range. A winter tire will wear quickly in the summer and a summer tire will have no grip in cold weather. Tires are pretty advanced and there are a lot of variables beyond hard and soft.

Q:I understand that the maximum psi located on the tire is not where you want to inflate it to and that the optimum tire pressure is located in the manual. My problem is that in my 1999 Honda Accord manual it says that the tires that should be on my car is the 89H and they should be inflated to 30 psi, but the tires I have on my car are 91H. Is my optimum tire pressure supposed to be 30 psi even though the tires are not what they are supposed to be, and if it isn‘t, then how do I find out what the correct tire pressure should be?

It's still 30 psi. The pressure on the tire is max pressure, including the pressure you will get from heat, which raises the tires air pressure.

Q:4 wheel dr new tires been rotated one time any help?

tire rotation depends on the type of tire you have. for radial tires: left rear to left front left front to left rear right front to right rear right rear to right front NEVER change the side of auto a radial is on. non-radial tires: left front to right rear right rear to left front right front to left rear left rear to right front

Q:Could a tire patch (plug?) cause the tire to go out of round? I had a puncture nearly dead center in the threads; I took the tire to a local big box and had the puncture repaired. The tires were balanced and rotated. The repaired tire was placed front side passenger. At highway speeds the tire wobbles or shakes. At 300 miles I checked and noticed it was inflated to 42 PSI when 32 PSI is recommended. I had the tire rebalanced and it still shakes. There were no issues before the repair. Can repairs be removed an redone?

I'm not 100% sure but I doubt it. A plug is just that, a small piece of rubber that plugs a small hole. A patch is a little more involved but a more permanent repair. I don't think either type of repair can create a flat spot. I wonder if the problem was there before the flat, and the repair somehow made it worse. One interesting comment you made - - after the repair, you had the tires rotated and balanced, with the repaired tire now on the right front position. To me that means the tire was mounted on the rear prior to the repair, correct? If a tire is slightly out of round, mounting it on the rear axle would make the vibrations less noticeable. It is entirely possible the tire had an out of round problem BEFORE it was repaired, you just didn't notice it. It is common for tire installers to install a not-so-perfect tire on the rear to minimize vibrations. It's not a scam, just something that makes the problem go away for the car owner. My advice? Replace that tire with a new one. At this point, going back and forth, trying to get someone to fix a tire that may not be fixable is a waste of time. A new tire will solve this problem and you can get on with life. Consider replacing two tires if possible, that way one axle will have fresh rubber. Replace the other two as soon as you can.

Q:I have a 2004 Dodge Neon with 13 inch tires would I be able to put 17 inch tires/rim on the car

I think you should use a ruler and draw lines that you can see, but wont disturb the Metal

Q:Which brand of car tires is good?

For the car, recommend two brands: 1, value comfort, then recommended Michelin, soft, low noise, high comfort, the disadvantage is slightly worse wear resistance, shorter life (but not much shorter, about 20% 2, value performance, it is recommended horse card, slightly hard, slightly larger noise, but the overall performance of the best, good comfort, good grip, the performance is not good, the other is the price is very expensive, Noise is good, every point is not the best, but together, is a very good choice. The other is the reliability and life are good. 3, if there is no local two brands, optional Pirelli, Goodyear.
