How Old is My Tire?

posted on
Determining your tire age is very important for your driving safety. Driving with a tire over six years old could be putting you and your passengers in danger.

The Effect of Bigger Tires on Your Vehicle

posted on
Bigger wheels and tires are a desirable upgrade for not only the off-road extremist but many everyday drivers as well.

Why You Should Never Skip a Tire Rotation

posted on
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 front left tire is ...
