Give Your Family the Gift of Safety - New Tires
posted on
11/17/2017 10:05:00 AM
We are the land of the man (or woman) who has everything. We have electric dog nail trimmers, vacuums that work without your help and phones with more computing power than a fleet of space shuttles. With all this great and not so great stuff, it's getting harder and harder to give a great gift. Before you go flailing around for a gift nobody wants or needs just to say you have something to wrap, consider the gift of safety; a new set of tires for a friend or family member.Maybe you think thi...

Why You Should Never Skip a Tire Rotation
posted on
9/5/2017 2:47:00 PM
The cornering and rolling forces on each of your tires are different. If you have a front wheel drive car, the power and most of the force is transmitted to the front tires while the rear tires pretty much just follow along like fixed wagon wheels. A rear-wheel drive car or truck sends power to the back while steering forces are handled by the front wheels. All-wheel drive and 4wd have their unique power, steering and cornering characteristics as well. The point is, your f...

posted on
9/5/2017 1:56:00 PM
With all the tires you encounter every day, it is easy to forget their humble beginning and just how far they have come since the early days of automotive development. Follow along as we recap the incredible evolution that has taken us from simple rubber rings to the products we see today.The tire had rather humble beginnings. In the late 1800's the invention of the automobile necessitated something for them to roll on. Until then, wheels were rolling around on hard wooden rims or metal band...

Make Those Tires Last!
posted on
3/31/2017 1:18:00 PM
Your tires are a big investment, and while it’s easy to just take them for granted, you want them to last through their entire warranty phase (at least). Here are some tips on how to get the most life out of a set of tires:Tire rotations: No vehicle has 50/50 weight distribution from front to rear, and front tires see a different set of stresses from braking and cornering. Rotating your tires at a 5,000-mile interval ensures even wear and good drivability and handling.Proper inflation: Und...

What Tires Are Right For Your Truck?
posted on
3/31/2017 12:48:00 PM
So you’re in need of a set of tires for your truck? No problem! The question is, though, what kind of tires are going to be best?First, you’ll need to think about what you use that truck for. Will you regularly be hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer? Do you expect to keep it on the pavement for the most part, or will you occasionally go off-road? If you go off-road, will it be on soft dirt or will you be plowing through brush, mud, and rocks? And finally…what’s your...

Reasons Why Tire Inflation Is So Important
posted on
3/31/2017 12:18:00 PM
Even just a pound or two of underinflation in your tires can be a problem. Why, though? There are several reasons. Fuel economy: If you ever rode a bicycle with a low tire, you know that it feels like you’re riding through wet cement due to the added rolling resistance. The same thing is happening with your car, and compromising your fuel economy. Over the course of 10,000 miles per year, that can add up to 150 gallons of gas or $500 out of your pocket!Handling: Low tire pre...

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Tires
posted on
1/12/2017 12:33:00 PM
1. For performance and handling, the trend has long been toward fatter tires with a bigger footprint. That’s starting to change, though. Skinnier tires mean lower rolling resistance and better fuel economy, as well as a smaller aerodynamic profile. While fatter tires do handle better, tire engineers are making up the difference by designing skinny tires with a stickier tread formulation for traction and cornering ability.2. Static electricity used to be a real concern for vehicles; if you&...

Can I Buy Just Two Tires?
posted on
1/12/2017 12:11:00 PM
We know that a lot of drivers are working pretty hard to make a dollar go farther and that the outlay for a full set of four tires – even inexpensive tires – can be considerable. That’s why we run across drivers pretty often who ask if it’s okay to just replace a pair of tires, then buy the other pair when they can afford them.The answer is…yes, but…You’ll really need to pay attention to the size of the set of tires that you’ve already got a...
