Studded tires are tires that grip onto ICE (not snow). If you experience an extreme winter with actual ice, than go for studded ice tires. Otherwise, simply go for snow tires. A heavy-duty snow tire carries the sign of an icy mountain with a snow flake drawn inside it. Get a NEW FOURSOME of such snow tires: Four matching (similar) tires. Get tires that are not too cheap and are made by a known manufacturer. Cheap unknown tire brands tend to be of a low quality and this is flat out dangerous! When it stops snowing in the spring/summer -- remove the snow tires. Do not keep using them in the dry, because they would perform poorly and again put you in risk. Replace them alltoghether after three years or once they get worn or have done enough miles (70,000km). Especially look at the tread depth: If, at any stage, it gets to 3mm -- replace the tires. And check the air pressure reguarly too!

Q:what is the best tire pressure on a ford tauras 97 with goodyear viva 2 205/65/15

That would depend on the ride or mileage or tire wear you prefer. If your preference is the most comfortable ride use the vehicles door sticker. If you prefer to get the highest gasoline mileage and tire life use the maximum tire pressure on the sidewall of the tire near the rim edge. This tire pressure is a "cold tire pressure" this means drive only a mile or two before checking. you will notice a stiffer feel to the ride of the vehicle at this pressure. The radial tires were designed to get the longest wear at that max "cold" pressure.

Q:im not really tired but kinda?

If you eat a big meal or one that's rich in empty calories, that takes extra energy to digest. Your body wants to rest to give your stomach more blood and energy. Happens to me when I eat out because I usually eat too much. Try eating 3 smaller meals an 2 healthy snacks instead of 3 large meals. This will help keep your blood sugar constant. Fluctuating blood sugar can also make you tired.

Velocity of bottom is ZERO, and velocity of the top is twice the speed of the bike 2x10mph 20mph. Momentarily axis of rotation of the wheel is loctated where the tire touches the ground.
