Q:the orignal tire size of my car with the rims are 185-65R-14if i use a tire size 185-70R-14will it fit on the orignal rims of the car?

The tire will fit the rim. The 185 is the width of the tire and that remains the same. The number changing is the aspect ratio and by increasing the number you are increasing the outside diameter of the tire. This will alter the speedometer as well as the handling of the vehicle. It is always wise to use recommended tire sizes for any vehicle. There are alternate sizes however. Contact your dealer for recommended size options from the manufacturer of the vehicle. This will make sure your car still performs safely.

Q:What is the cost of replacing the car tires?

If it is not a transport enterprise, the cost is included in the management fee.

Q:is ther a reason car and truck tire are black? if another color would they remain that color?

Why are Tires Black? Left alone, tires dry out, discolor and eventually crack and split. “Dry rot” is a multi-million dollar problem for RVers, trailer boaters and owners of classic cars that are parked for extended periods. The major factor degrading tires and other synthetic and rubber products is ozone, an odorless gas which is part of the air we breath. When combined with ultraviolet light (the invisible part of sunlight) a reaction occurs that attacks the tire polymer. To protect against ozone and UV damage, a stabilizer molecule called a “competitive absorber” is blended with the tire polymer. Competitive absorbers work by capturing and absorbing UV radiation and converting it to heat which is dissipated harmlessly. All tire manufacturers use the same competitive absorber, carbon black. This is why all tires are black...why tires are not available in designer colors. These absorbers are sacrificial; they expend themselves in performing their function of changing UV to heat. As carbon black loses it’s ability to perform, it turns gray. This is one reason why black tires discolor as they age. To protect from further ozone damage, tire manufacturers add a wax compound to their formulas. Tires flex when they are in motion, causing the wax molecules to migrate to the surface. This forms a protective barrier between the air (ozone and oxygen) and the tire polymer. In the tire trade this is called “blooming”. When tires are parked for extended periods, blooming does not occur and ozone starts attacking the polymer. With UV light and ozone working in concert, the degradation is accelerated, resulting in drying, discoloration and cracking. The best product we know of to retard ozone and UV damage is 303 Aerospace Protectant. A quick spray of 303 Protectant leaves tires looking great and protects them with the equivalent of an SPF 40 sunscreen.

Q:How long does the car tire pressure check?

General car every month to check at least one tire pressure, each season should pay attention to adjust the tire pressure, the ideal adjustment time is in November and May, November basic into the winter, tire pressure is usually reduced, should be slightly adjusted The May weather began to heat, it is recommended to see whether the normal pressure, with particular attention to this time as long as the tire pressure is not higher than the standard range, do not deliberately reduce tire pressure. If the tire is not lack of gas, it is not necessary to adjust every month.

Q:I have a 2010 focus, it says I have low tire pressure?Is this a big deal? None of the tires look flat.Can I still drive in it?I tried pumping air into it but the air pump almost electrocuted me :/Lol.Help??

Low tire pressure will effect the safety and fuel efficiency of your car. Although the tires may not look like the pressure is low the only way to know for sure is to use a tire gauge and check. If a tire looks low than it is WAY too low and dangerous to drive on. Technically you can still drive a car with low tire pressure but it is bad for the car and the tires. The tires will wear out incorrectly which means you'll have to replace them sooner or could cause a blow-out. The car also has to burn more fuel when the tire pressure is low so it costs you more at the pump. If you do not want to fill the tires yourself take your car to a garage or tire store. It will take less than 5 minutes for them to check your tires and fill them for you, they may even be able to teach you how to do it yourself! While you are there make sure to pick up a tire gauge, they are easy to use and by using one you will not have to question your tire pressure any more. The pressure in your tires will naturally change with the weather and temperature so it is good to be able to check and maintain your tire pressure yourself.

Q:A typical American tire would have something like P215/70/R15 embedded. Would a European/International tire have different tire size embedded on the wheel or it is the same?

Yes, they are the same. However, If there isn't a letter preceding the three-digit numeric portion of a tire size, it signifies the tire is a Metric size (also called Euro-metric because these sizes originated in Europe). While Metric tire sizes are primarily used on European cars, they are also used on vans and sport utility vehicles. Euro-metric sizes are dimensionally equivalent to P-metric sizes, but typically differ subtly in load carrying capabilities.

Q:I need your opinion on goodyear weatherhanders tires and goodyear intergity tires. please give as much detail with experience as possible. thanks

self explanatory. four wheels being driven at same time distributing power to each wheel. in 2 wheel mode will deselect ( unless continuos drive) and allow just two wheels to be driven. normally rear but can be just front two. standard two wheel drive is very common for most cars and simply has engine driving front or rear pair of wheels only.

Q:For instance the tires on my car reads245/R45What does that mean?

Treadwidth/Type/Height of Profile/Diameter Let's breakdown a typical tire size: 245/R45/17 245 Refers to the width of the tire in millimeters. R refers to the fact that it is a tire with a radial belt type of tire construction. 45 is the height of the tire sidewall, from the rim bead to the top of the tread -- expressed as a percentage of the tire's width. So 45 in this case means 45% of 245 mm or about 110mm in sidewall height. 17 refers to the size rim that the tire is designed for. Hope that helps! Take care.

Q:i went to align my car today. the mec told me they aligned the wheels but a pull to the right is till there. they said my tires are worn uneven and that i would need tire balancing. i called discount tire and they said tire balance wouldnt help at all.help

It's unlikely that tire wear would cause a pull and it's CERTAIN that a bad wheel balance won't cause a pull. These people must take you for an idiot. A lot of alignment shops will roll your car to calibrate the vehicle to the scanners and then just move the heads (the reflective sensors that bounce back the flashing red light) instead of actually adjusting the mechanical aspect of the vehicle to change the camber and caster on the computer and then adjust the toe after. Camber/Caster are what cause a pull. A lot of shops in my area are notorious for bumping the heads. Ensure that the tires are properly inflated all around and ask them to give you a BEFORE and AFTER printout of the alignment specs. If it's possible to watch the technician do your alignment then make sure he doesn't turn those heads while the red lights are flashing! They should redo the alignment for free.

Q:Car tires 100w 100y stands for anything

100 represents the load index, the maximum load is 800KgW and Y is the speed level W: 270Km / hY: 300Km / h
