They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement.

As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times or more throughout the life of a typical vehicle. Despite advances in longer-lasting tires, actual tread life will vary by car type, tire type (such as all season or high performance), driving aggressiveness, and even road and weather conditions. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage in a set of tires. We offer these services to help you prolong the life of your tires. We Offer Most Major Brands of TiresAt Auto Care Center, we understand that tires are an important part of your car. The quality of tires and material used on them highly affects the vehicle's performance. Their main purpose is to protect the wheel's rims and improve vehicle performance. For this reason, we only deal with brand name tires. Also, we offer fleet tire management services to ensure you are getting the best value, fuel economy, and life from your tires. Once a need for new tires is determined, it is necessary to identify the best tires for your vehicle and driving demands.

Look for tires that do well in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning. Winter traction should also be considered, if applicable. Let tread wear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance be tiebreakers. Trust the tire experts at Auto Care Center to help you choose the right tires for your vehicle.

The facts pertain to sidewall information and most of the information is radial tire specific as that is what is on most of today's street and performance tires. As of the writing (2001) it is both accurate and relatively complete. The information is divided into several areas to help you both navigate and go to the area that is most germane to your needs.

Finally, this information pertains only to DOT (Department ...of Transportation) legal tires.

Tabby Kittens For Sale WaThe following will pertain only to passenger tires. Car Ac Repair DhakaLet's take the following tire size as an example: P275/40 ZR17. Well, what does this mean to you beyond tire size? In fact, there is a lot of information just in this marking and more in the other markings too. For now lets explore this example. First the letter "P" means that this is a passenger car tire and "P metric" is our version of metric tire sizing. The "275" is the width of the tire in millimeters.

To convert this to inches, simply divide the millimeters by 25.4. This means that our 275mm tire is actually 10.8 inches wide. The "40" is the ASPECT RATIO of the tire. Aspect ratio is best expressed as the ratio of height to width of the tire. In our example, the sidewall height is 40% of the width of the tire. Generally speaking, any tire with an aspect ratio of 50 or less is considered a low profile tire, more on this later. The "Z" is the SPEED RATING of the tire. In this case a speed rating of Z is good for speeds up to and over 149mph. The "R" indicates that the tire is constructed with radial plies. A "B" would indicate a tire constructed with bias plies and a "D" would indicate a tire constructed with diagonal bias plies Tire Buster'sDonnie D's new shoesTire Buster'sAnother happy customer Tire Buster'sMisunderstanding #4: Not knowing the difference between a patch and a plug Maybe it was before my time, but most people seem to ask for a tire plug if they have a damaged tire, and it's something we do not do and I have never done on any car I've ever owned.

Lots of people seem to ask for it though, so maybe I'm the crazy one, but it seems to me to be very unsafe to plug tires. We won't do it in our shop and as many times as I've explained that to people, more often then not...Continue ReadingTire Buster'sMisunderstanding #3: Using Fix-A-Flat This is great stuff to use if you have an emergency, are not in a position to put your spare tire on, and absolutely have to get out of the road. It will save you at a moment when you most need it. They have done a great job of advertising this stuff, but they have not done any job at all of educating people of what happens AFTER you use this on your tire. Think about what this product does - it is a liquid that shoots out under pressure... in your tire, finds the hole, seals it, and holds air while you drive. If you are familiar with the proces at all, you must have an understanding that it is a liquid when it comes out of the can, but it seals a hole. How does liquid seal a hole? Well, liquid does not seal a hole, solids seal a hole.

When it is sealing the tire, it is not a liquid. The air pressure of the hole forces the liquid towards the hole. Then as it makes contact with the air, a chemical change occurs, and it starts to harden. As it hardens, it becomes dense enough to seal off the escaping air. Now you have a chemical reaction going on inside your tire. It was one thing, now it becomes something else. You have now started a chemistry experiment inside your tire and it will not stop with the sealing of the hole. What happens next is the liquid, as it is being forced around the inside of the tire and starts to harden, will harden in whatever shape it takes as the air hits it. Which means, you have now changed the shape of the tire itself, which means you can forget about ever balancing that tire ever again. This chemical will continue to react with any substance it is touching - your wheel, your valve stem, your tire. Leave it in there long enough to cure and you will need a new tire at a minimum, because it adheres to the rubber, then begins to soften and consume the rubber.

Then it consumes the paint and finish on your wheel, which can mean you can forget about ever getting a tire to seat to the bead again because the diameter of the bead has changed, and you might also never be able to get a valve stem to seat properly and hold a seal ever again, because it will eat at the finish and change the diameter of the hole where your valve stem goes. Fix-A-Flat and similar products will save you when you need it, but it is not a tourniquet to stop the bleeding - it is more like an amputation. Be ready to replace at least the tire, to pay for the tech to clean the crap off your wheel, and if it was in there long enough, to replace the wheel. Tire Buster'sWho ya gonna call????????

Are both edges of your tire too worn? Your tires are probably underinflated. The center of your treads worn? Chances are they're overinflated. Other wear patterns indicate poor alignment, a wheel imbalance, worn shocks, and so on. The main wear patter to watch out for that points back to your driving: If the edges on the front tires are worn down, this is usually a sign you're consistently taking turns too fast and should start slowing down.

Under inflated tires can cut your mileage by as much as 6 percent, according to some studies. Add to that 6 percent the one mile per gallon you lose when you operate your air conditioner and it's clear that you really want to check your tire pressure to increase gas mileage.
