Tip of the month
AugustHow To Read A Tire - Everything you need to know about your tires will be found on the "sidewall", which is simply the side of your tire. Manufacturers must ensure that this information is there. Some of the important information you will find is the Tire Type, Tire Width, Aspect Ratio, Wheel Diameter and construction, just to name a few. This information will help you take care of your tires and increase their life span.
Most recently answered questions
- Isn't it easy to mount a tire on a wheel? Can't I do it myself?
Never try to mount your own tires. Tire mounting is a job for the people who have the proper equipment and experience. If you try to do it yourself, you run the risk of serious injury to yourself as well as possible damage to the tire and rim.
If I buy only two tires, should I put them on the front or the rear?
When you select a pair of replacement tires in the same size and construction as those on the car, we recommend you put them on the rear axle. A single new tire should be paired on the rear axle with the tire having the most tread depth of the other three. When radial tires are used with bias or bias belted tires on the same car (not recommended), the radials must always be placed on the rear axle. Never mix radial and bias-ply tires on the same axle.
Can I mix tire types on my car?
Tires of different size designations, constructions, and stages of wear may affect vehicle handling and stability. For best all-around performance, the same type tire should be used on all four wheel positions. It is recommended that you NOT mix radial and non-radial tires on a vehicle. However, if mixing is unavoidable, never mix radial and non-radial tires on the same axle. If two radial and two non-radial are to be installed on a vehicle, the two radials MUST be installed on the rear axle and the two non-radials on the front axle.
