Maintaining Your Tires Keeps Your Car Healthy
We often ignore our tires unless they're flat. But they play a vital role in the overall condition of your car. Maintain them properly, and you'll save money on repairs and on fuel costs.Keeping your tires properly inflated ensures that they wear longer and can prevent accidents. Your car likely has a card or sticker attached to the door edge or the inside of the glove box door. The right amount of air your tires need is specified here.
In case your car doesn't have this sticker, you can check your owner's manual.Serious accidents can happen if your tires are under-inflated or overloaded. One of my tires blew-out on me and caused an accident. Luckily I was on a little traveled country road and was going slowly. I hate to think of what might have happened if I had been in major traffic.Buy your own quality tire gauge. You can't tell if tires are inflated properly just by looking.
And the air meters at your service station may not be correct!Ask your auto supply dealer for a tire gauge calibrated up to 80 PSI. They'll know what you mean, even if you don't.Take a moment at the beginning of each month to check your tire pressure (don't forget the spare! Uhm, you do have a spare tire, don't you??) Check them before you get in the car to drive. Write down the actual under-inflation amount for each tire. Take this info with you to the service station.Now measure the inflation again and record these numbers. (Don't worry, this only takes a couple minutes.) Now inflate the tires to a level that equals the warm pressure (that you just took) plus the first under-inflation amount.
(called the "cold" inflation pressure)If the above instructions sound intimidating or confusing, take your car to a shop and give them the "cold" pressure numbers. They'll put the correct amount of air in your tires for a minimum fee ? sometimes they'll not charge you at all.The leading cause of tire failure is under-inflation. So make a habit to check them once a month.Overloading your vehicle can lead to tire failure, too. Just because you have a pick-up truck doesn't mean it can carry an infinite load.Schedule a tire check into your calendar each month and you'll save money, save fuel, and perhaps, even save your family from a car accident..

A Guide To Discount Tires
Worn tires compromise an automobile's safety, traction, and gas mileage. Buying new tires is intimidating due to the cost; thus a number of car owners replace worn tires with discount tires. Discount tires may be bought from the original dealership, warehouse stores, or the automobile section at a department store.
When purchasing discount tires, a car owner must be aware of the manufacturer's name, model year, and model name of the vehicle. That is generally all a tire store needs to know to fit correct tires on the vehicle.
It helps to be aware of the size and rating of the tires. If the discount tires are pre-owned, a car owner must make certain that the tread is of adequate depth for gripping the road, that there is uniform wear across the tire, and that there are no bands breaking through the tire.
It is imperative that, even under budget constraints, a car owner does not purchase tires that have a lower speed index or load rating than the original...

Before You Buy a Chinese ATV
Let's face it, not everybody has the cash to put out for a top of the line Honda or Yamaha ATV, an Artic Cat, Bombardier or Polaris. And even the smaller models are relatively expensive. But you still want a ride so you keep looking around.
There are used ATVs and you can save some serious coin by picking up a used model, if you're able to determine why it's being sold and what it's condition really is. The nature of ATV trekking and racing isn't the gentlest of activities and an ATV can age remarkably rapidly because of extreme stresses. Maybe the seller is telling you the truth when he says he only did some flat trail and sand riding a couple times and never ever went muddy or airborne.
Or maybe not.
You need a competent mechanic to check out a used ATV and even then he or she isn't going to be able just how stressed and close to the breaking point some parts may be. So while you may be getting a great deal you may also be looking at some unanticipated...

The reality of tire-buying is that consumers usually are not passionate about the purchase of new rubber for their vehicles. Tire industry veteran Tom Kopplin intends to change that scenario.Kopplin, chairman and CEO of All Sports Tire Company, based in Orlando, is tapping into the rabid fanaticism and buying power of college sports followers by developing specialized tires with collegiate sports team names built into the sidewalls."We have created another reason for a person to buy a particular tire? and to feel good about the purchase," said Kopplin. "On the sidewall of these tires, we present an opportunity for that person to proudly show off their favorite team's name, wherever he goes."In the U.S., fans are spending nearly $3 billion annually on college-licensed merchandise, reflecting a deep desire to show their school spirit. They buy T-shirts, flags, license plate covers and countless other items, but it took Kopplin ? with his 25 years of tire sales experience ? to create the...
