Q:I went out and got two new tires for the front of my car. Apparently, I asked for the wrong size. The new tires are P215/65R15. The old (and correct size) tires were P205/65R15. Will these tires cause a problem? Thanks.

It should do no harm as long as they are on the same axle. You should think about getting the same size for the back. This next larger size will actually give you approximately 5% better gas mileage. If they are on your drive wheels. Which means if you use X amount of gas to go 100 miles on the original tires? You will get 105 miles on the same amount of gas with the larger tires. In money it would mean instead of $3. a gallon on old tires. It would translate to $2.85 a gallon on new tires. Your speedometer would read wrong. At 60mph you would actually be doing about 63mph. So if the speed limit is 60mph and you are using the 5mph margin doing 65mph you are actually doing 68mph. Something to remember. Any adverse effects on the computer,brakes or the like would be negligible.

Q:So I am looking for good tires for two cars:1. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Sedan2. 2001 Saab 9-3 SE ConvertibleMy top tire brand picks for both cars are (not in order):1. Michelin2. Bridgestone3.Continental4. General5. YokohamaWhich tire brand (with tire model), would best fit each car.Please dont tell me to go to tire rack or any website to put in my vehicle information. I want to know by you experience or knowledge which tire brand and tire model would best fit the vehicles mentioned above. Any new tire suggestions are welcomed as well.

If you have enough money go for Michelin and if your budget is same as me please go for Yokohama, both are reliable and safe to use, use only the tire size within the range recommended as per your car model.

Q:Will there be any harm in car tires in the open space?

Hello! Daily tires need to prevent sunshine, oil, acids, hydrocarbons from damaging tires, so tires should be stored in a cool, dry and dark room

Q:Will you master, car tires to add a few pressure is generally the best pressure

Standard tire pressure 2.5

Q:what are the ingredients of a tire black

Tires are surprisingly complex. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking in the question. Specifically, the black in tires is carbon black (i.e. soot!) that has been mixed into the rubber during processing. This is done to give the rubber additional strength and to lower costs. (This is known as rubber compounding). The rubber used in tires if I remember correctly is usually a blend with a major part natural rubber. When the tire is assembled the rubber will be cured (usually with sulphur + accelerators and high temperatures). Tires also usually have fabric plies and steel inserts for additional strength and durability.

Q:Is the paint corrosive to car tires?

Have a certain degree of corrosion. Because the paint is oily, but the process is very slow, the most important bad, in fact, because it is oily, it will be more likely to absorb dust, will be easier to make the car dirty; A certain degree of corrosion, on the other hand, the properties of the paint will form a layer of protective film in the tire surface, thereby eliminating the oxidation of the tire.

Q:WInter Tires: do we pay extra to change back to all-season tires after winter?Do we need to buy 4 tires or only 2 for front wheel drive cars?

It's not absolutely necessary to buy an extra set of rims for your snow tires, but the convenience factor is something to be considered. You can also save a bit of time and money when changing tires for summer and winter if you have a spare set of wheels

Q:Tire car tire model stands for what

195 / 55R18 85V indicates the specifications of the tires. 195: cross-section width (mm) 55: aspect ratio of 55% R: R = radial tire structure 18: rim diameter 18 inches 85: indicates the load index (this index corresponds to the load capacity of 515kg) V: that the highest The speed should not exceed 240KM / H

Q:I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant with Michelin Energy Plus 190/60R/15. Max tire pressure is 44psi. Currently all tires are about 30psi which i think is kind of low. What should i set the tire pressure too? Thanks.

Your car tire pressure specification is: Front 32 psi cold Rear29 psi cold put a few psi higher if you carry more passengers and weight. You can put it at max 44psi but it will give you rough ride, wear at center of the tires, less traction and bad braking because of less ground contact surface. Tire pressure reading should be higher after driving awhile.

Q:I have a Truck that has a recommended tire pressure of around 30 psi on all four tires. On the front two tires I got about 30 psi, but on the back tires I've got 40 psi. The sidewall maximum pressure reads 35 psi. The thing is, I put a lot of stuff in the trunk, and sometimes i measure my tire pressure and it goes all the way up to 70 psi. So my question is, since I always carry such a heavy load, should I lower my current 40 psi, or should I just leave it there so my tires won't be super flat when I carry heavy stuff?

The tire pressure ratings molded into the sidewall of a tire are the maximum inflation rating "COLD" of that tire at the maximum weight listed on the sidewall. This DOES NOT reflect what the tire may "run" at in operation on the highway. NEVER exceed the maximum pressure or the load rating listed on the sidewall. Yes the tire is capable of handling more than listed but do you really what to bet your life on how much more? If you require more load capability in your tires you will have to pony up for a better rated tire. Just remember, never exceed the vehicles maximum GVWR no matter what the tires are good for. Good Luck
