Q:What are the common problems with car tires?

Know the tire wear mark "△" pattern depth generally can not be less than 1.6mm At present, many owners do not know the extent of the tire tread to replace the tire, but do not know the importance of pattern on traffic safety. Research shows that the tread pattern is too shallow, in addition to poor drainage, the crown of the heat can not be discharged in a timely manner, so that the tire temperature rise, emergency braking, it is easy to scratch the crown rubber and lead to puncture; shallow. Especially easy to be hard to pierce the tread, causing the accident. So, what kind of pattern should be grinding to the extent of it? Under normal circumstances, every tire on every 60 degrees in its sidewall has a small "△" symbol, a total of six small "△" (Michelin tires are small snow standard), in the small "△" symbol In front of the crown part, the pattern is engraved with the residual depth limit of the pattern. When the pattern wears to this residual depth limit, the tire should be replaced and should not be used. Experiments show that the tire tread depth of the general can not be less than 1.6mm, otherwise, both the tire driving force or braking performance should be greatly reduced, and encountered waterway, there will be "water taxiing" phenomenon.

Q:About the tire level of the car?

In the installation should pay attention to: the same axle should be equipped with the same specifications, structure, manufacturers, pattern tires

Q:when i go to a tire store to buy new tires, they add a tire disposal fee with the new tire. is it an EPA law or what?

The tire store has to pay people to take the old tires, that fee is passed on to you.

Taller tires will cause rpms and acel to act like a higher (lower number) rear gear Short tires will cause rpm and acell to act like lower gears (high number) 1 diff in tire hight the same change as .06:1 ratio rear gear

Q:Car tire model, 195 / 70R15C meaning

95: tire width is 195 mm; 70: called tire flatness, meaning: the sidewall height (tire wall) and the ratio of the width of the tire is 70%; R: steel radial tire, 15: the diameter of the hub is 15 inches The Tire is one of the most important components of the car, its role is: to support the full weight of the vehicle, to withstand the load of the car; transfer traction and braking torque to ensure that the wheel and the road adhesion; reduce and absorb the car Driving vibration and impact, to prevent the car parts are subject to severe vibration and early damage to adapt to the high-speed performance of vehicles and reduce the noise when driving to ensure the safety of driving, handling stability, comfort and energy saving economy.

Q:How wide of a tire can I mount without problems on the standard 16X6.5 aluminum OEM 5 spoke wheel on my 99 Pontiac Gran Prix GT? The standard size is 225/60. Would like to go a bit wider but dont want rubbing problems on the daily driver!! Thanks

LOL! An alarm?? My car won't even lock -- and I frequently leave the keys in it. It's one of those cars that no one will bother -- even if you beg them to. Couldn't even pay someone to steal my car.

Q:Are large tires hard to control? Small tires needs to pedal more than large tires?I need bicycle that can ride safe at street.

Any bike can be safe on the streets - that's up to the rider, not the bicycle, or the tire size. THE most important thing in any bicycle is the right sized frame to fit the individual person. Once into adult sized bikes, they are measured by frame size - not wheel or tire size. There are many types of bikes from BMX bikes to mountain bikes to road bikes. All depends on WHERE HOW you will be riding. Hybrid bikes are popular today because of their versatility. They have an upright sitting/riding position, are faster on the streets than a mountain bike, yet can still handle light off road trails. I highly suggest you Google 'bicycle shop' and your zip code. That brings up every real bike shop in your area. Go visit a few. They can help you pick out the right bike for your particular riding style. Much better than talking to an associate at a discount store.

Q:What brand of car tires good?

SUV tires better brand is Goodyear and Pirelli, SUV is divided into ordinary cross country tires, urban cross country tires and all-weather cross country tires. That is, the tire model, the characteristics of urban cross-country tires is relatively fine pattern, the tire is more wear-resistant suitable for running the city and told the road. Relatively speaking, all-weather cross-country tires larger pattern, strong grip, but wear faster, may not be suitable for urban roads.

Q:I got all brand new tires. The max PSI writtin on the tire is 51. I put them to between 49 and 50. About a month later maby less, they all dropped down exactly 10 psi. Why? Im from south louisiana and its hot and humid.

This is a easy question that I have run into many, many times. The air that is put in the tire has water in it; How did it get in there? When the tires were installed and inflated, the air compressor at the shop had moisture that was sucked from the air and then pumped in the tire, not much but enough to cause this problem. Sounds stupid I know, but thats what happened. Areas with Ultra high or even moderate humidity have this problem unless the tires are inflated with Nitrogen, then this problem is eliminated. It is hard logic and even harder for a lot of people to understand but some of the major corporate tire dealers are using Nitrogen to solve this issue.

Q:I have a 2000 Honda Elite 50cc scooter and i need new tires for it. Problem: the manual says that i need a 2.75-10-4pr tire. Checked. Obsolete tire. So. is there a way that i can try and convert the tire size to something a little more usable? I have tried looking this up, and have decided that hours of staring at things I don‘t understand was fun, but pointless. I have seen people talking about a Pirelli SL 26 tire with the specs being 90/90J/10, but i‘m not about to put a tire on my little scooter that may cause it to burst into flames or send me flying into space. (and yes, i know that nothing of the sort will happen)Any advice or knowledge would be lovely!

You need to have a metric conversion table handy, that 90/90 is about 10% bigger than the 2.75 and will probably fit, not positive. The 2.75 is measured in inches BUT now most tires are sized/labeled in metric. So just be happy that they still kept the rim size measurements in inches.
