Q:the back wheel slipped off the rim tire still good .i pumped it back up but it still came off pls advise

you have a hole in your tire. you need to get it fixed or get a new one.

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:I want to replace the tires on my 1999 Ford F150 super cab super cab, the original size tires that are on the truck now are 275/60-17 but I want to go with a bigger fatter tire without putting a lift kit in or replacing the rims, I am wonder what is the biggest tire I can go with that's good in all weather conditions and quiet on the highway,

Larger tires will adversely effect handling, stability and life expectancy of the tire itself. I made the mistake of large all terrain tires years ago and will never put them on my truck again. They are worthless in mud, snow and terrible on the street. My speedometer was incorrect because of the height of the tire and I got a ticket. Gas mileage was worse and the noise was awful. Use the recommended tires on your truck. If you are going for looks put on what ever you want. But if you want performance use a recomended size radial tire, with a slightly more aggressive tread design. These tires will drive circles around a truck with big all terrain tires and you will be happy on the road which is 99% of the time anyway.

Q:What is the flattening ratio of car tires?

Give you a little explanation for it. The flat ratio is a proportional value: the ratio of the thickness of the side of the tire to the width of the tread. For example: 205 / 60R15, flat ratio is 60%, recorded as 60, 60% of the tread 205 is the tire thickness. 15 is the hub diameter, the tire of this model that put all the dimensions of the tire are included.

Q:what causes a tire to pop?

Pull over and placed on your spare. unexpected tire failure is frequently brought about the two via a puncture or via carelessness. utilising an below-inflated tire at highway speeds could reason it to overheat and fail. no longer checking your pressures often can consequence in this way of failure.

Q:Hey guys well I want to know what psi I should set my tires to. The manual says 35 at most. The tires are Yokohama Type S(I KNOW, NOT THE BEST TIRE OUT THERE BUT ITS OK) on the tires it says 51psi MAX. I was told that you should always go 5psi under the max. Is this true? Or should I always fill it up to the MAX? Also which psi do I fallow the 35max on the manual or the 51psi MAX on the tire?

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avEoo That is because the tire does not tell you the tire pressure you should use - how could it? The tire has no idea if it is mounted on a BMW, a Pontiac or a Toyota so how could a recommended inflation pressure possibly be listed there? All the tire tells you is a safety warning about the maximum load the tire can support at its maximum inflation pressure. That is a safety warning, not a suggestion. Go ahead, read it again. The recommended inflation pressure is the one on the car.

Q:what exactly is a retread tire?

Sorry JMakk, you don't know shuh, let's not go there. But that's ok, you're too young to know what an old fart like myself has learned from experience. What everyone is describing is actually called a recap in the industry. In the old days (1930's-60s) the new tread was vulcanized (basically melted on) onto the prepared tire carcass while today glue is used almost universally. Bandag is one of the major players in the recap industry. A true retread describes semi tires where the tread is worn down and new, deeper sipes (grooves} are ground or burned onto the carcass following the old grooves. Normally this can only be done once and after that new tread is worn down, it must be recapped to be serviceable. When new, the tire has the extra rubber thickness on the tread but doesn't have the extra deep sipes because they would cause the tread to squirm under load and cornering. Excessive squirming and the reduction in traction is why tractor and truck pullers often shave down the lugs on brand new tires and let them set out in the hot sun or on a tin roof so the rubber will harden and become stiffer. If you've ever noticed the big pieces of truck tire tread laying along side the road, that's the reason motorcycle tires are never recapped. Too much liability.

Q:What tools are needed to repair a car tire?

Repair tires Tires need the tools: tonic film, glue, tire grinding machine, tire removal machine, balancing machine, air compressor, sleeve and so on. Car tire repair technology based on the degree of damage to car tires, can be divided into three types: cold fill technology (fill or paste fill), hot fill technology (commonly known as fire fill) and tape repair tire technology. Not all tires can be repaired, the following can not repair the situation: the sidewall can not repair. The crown of the crown penetrates more than 6 mm in diameter and can not be repaired. If the bead is damaged or deformed, the tread is deformed, the rubber is corroded by the chemical or the tire is not damaged. Other exceptions can not be repaired. For example, if you can see from the tire traces of lack of air (such as sidewall rolling trace, airtight layer of foam, etc.), not worth the repair, because the tire structure may have been destroyed and can not be used.

Q:I need to buy me 2 tires for my mini van. I normally order it from Tire Rack and buy Bridge Stone tire. I have heard Toyota is doing free give away with purchase of tire, or tire kingdom is also doing some kind of free give away. I know I like Bridge Stone tire, and Tire Rack gives a great price.

Tire Rack does give great deals, so as long as you have a shop that will install the tires, then that'll be your best option. But make sure that the shop will not charge so much to install the tires that it makes the total cost more than what the tires cost locally. Remember to include shipping charges and installation cost in your comparison.

Q:I am wondering for some expert advice in this senario. I have my car, the front tires are 0/32 tread and the back are 6/32 tread. Now, I was wondering if I got my tires rotated that I could use up these tires for little longer before getting new ones. Or would you recommened me just getting new tires?

it use to be that at 2/32 is when experts said to replace tire, but nowadays they changed it to 4/32 to replace tires becuase they say under that you dont have enough for wet weather traction. the tires that are 6/32 you can still use but of course the 0/32 must be replaced. Another way to figure this out is look at the tires between the tread nowadays they have wear bumps if the tread is level with the wear bumps then its time to replace
