Q:I dunno It could be anything, tired of your boss, your relatives, anything! what the hell are you tired of?

I'm tired of a guy I know! I made a question about what to do. You can see it, it's my latest Q.

Q:how can you tell if you have dirt tires or street tires?

The tread pattern. A street tire will be more slick. Dirt tires will be more studded. Not as much as a MTB tire, though. Look a the Maxxis Holly Roller. Those are for both. The squares give traction in dirt, but they are large and flat so you still have a good contact patch in the street.

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:When you go to get your tires replaced, is balancing them something they can only do with the tire on your car? Or if you just brought in a tire could they balance it?What exactly do they do when they balance your tires?

Balancing tires is done with whatever method the shop has available which for some is on the car and some shops off the car. Both simply find heavy sides to a tire and wheel combination and they add weight to the other side. If you look into it you will find there are many ways a tire can be out of balance which each of them will cause a vibration or even hard shake at certain speeds. The best balance involves inboard and outboard weights but this is beyond the needs of most driving so most shops simply add weights to the back side so as not to show. Yes, all tires need to be balanced if they are to go above 20 mph

Q:tires for my 2000 f-150 pick up

Depends what you consider top brand, Myself I think Michelin top brand and Tire Kingdom will work with you on price, need to get aligned at same time, and believe have free rotation after sale. I drive a 2004 Corvette and got a good deal on performance tires with good warranty, You can go to Michelin web site and they can show you tires for your truck and you can pick which suites your driving best. Mine cost $1,250.00 for 4 but are also run flats seeing no spare and 4 wheel align and taxes. Yours should be way cheaper. they handle way better and stop better than original Firestones

Q:Tires on the car are Goodyear VIVA 2 86S with stock rims. Is it safe to use Nankang NS-2 84 V tires with 17 inch rims on the car.

Nankang tires are about the poorest quality tire available on the planet. Don't go cheap, it will come to bite you later. And sure, you can place a 17 inch tire and rim package on your 2003 Corolla. Best fit, without mods, would be 17x7.5 rims with 205/50-17 tires. If you are considering the Nankang tires you are obviously needing to keep the cost to a minimum. Look at the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 or the Sumitomo HTR Z III for an entry level tire that is at least average quality.

Q:car tires,why are they all black

All tire manufacturers add carbon black to their tires to protect them from harmful UV radiation, which gives them the characteristic black color.

Q:I had just recently caused my driver side front tire go out of balance. I know it‘s out of balance because it‘s a bit of a bumpy ride and the steering wheel shakes when i go fifty and over. Would anyone know how much tire balancing costs at Firestone tires? I have a $20 coupon so it must cost at leat $25 dollars.

Yes, it is. Vermiculite is heat expanded mica. Perfectly safe.

Q:i have wire beaded tire and have no idea how to change the tire?

Tires have had wire inner beads since Hector was a pup. It's nit the tire you have to fight its the raised safety bead inside the wheel. You need two tools to dis-mount a tire from a wheel. A tire spoon and a tire iron. If you have aluminum wheels stop before you start. If you attempt to pound under the lip of the wheel you'll scuff or brake the wheel. Take the wheel and tire to a tire shop where they'll break it down safely within 30 seconds.

Q:How are these tires differ from each other?

radial tires handle better then bias and you get a better ride with radial tires because bias tires are harder then radials.
