Q:What is the use of car tires?

Tire is one of the important parts of the car, it is directly with the road contact, and the car suspension to ease the impact of car driving, to ensure that the car has a good ride comfort and ride comfort; to ensure a good wheel and road The adhesion of the car, improve the car's traction, braking and through; bear the weight of the car, the tire in the car played an important role in more and more people's attention.

Q:What pressure should Hankook Radial K106 Tires be at on a 2004 Saturn Ion-3?

The make and model of tire are irrelevant. Only the size and application (type of vehicle) matter when it comes to inflation pressure. Your Saturn came from the factory with tires sized P205/55R16 89H. Any tire of that size no matter what brand or model should be inflated to 30 psi front and rear according to Saturn. This information is found on a plate inside the drivers door frame by the way. Even if your tires are sized 205/55R16 91H (European standard) the inflation pressure would be the same.

Q:What are the tires of cars?

According to the tread pattern is divided into: ① ordinary pattern tires. There are many styles of portrait, horizontal and both. Ordinary horizontal treads are suitable for use on poor and gravel pavements; longitudinal tires are suitable for use on better pavements; tires with longitudinal and horizontal tiles are suitable for use on general pavement and poor pavement. ② cross-country pattern tires. Tread has a large pattern, suitable for mining, site, desert, loose ground and snow mud road use. ③ mixed tires. Both for good pavement, but also for gravel pavement and loose road.

Q:Can a car mechanic fix my flat tire, and which stores nationwide offer reasonable flat tire fixes for reasonable prices? I have a tire which keeps deflating to 20 psi way too quickly, it‘s the same tire. All my other tires are fine they never deflate at the rate that my bad tire does.

Tire servicing requires special equipment, tools and machinery which is why most generic shops don't/can't do it, but there are tire shops that are specialized for that kind of work. You have got either a nail in a tire or the valve is leaking. either way, it's a quick and reasonably priced fix in a tire shop.

Q:I have a 1998 Toyota Corolla VE and It currently has 4 14 inch tires. I want cheap tires and installed and balanced for a good price. I found 4 tires they are 15 inch tires. Can these still fit on my car I dont know about tires any help? they are a good price then I need to go somewhere to get them balanced and put on

I went to Firestone and got a set of 185 r14 tires on my 98 Corolla CE. Those replaced a set of the same that served me for about 40,000 miles. They were cheap. You cannot put 15 inch tires on 14 inch rims because they will not hold air and will simply flop around loose on the rim. You could go to a salvage yard and get a used set of the right size tires and that will be the cheapest deal you can get- and maybe not good quality, but they'll roll. There are better performing tires than the Firestones I got, but I don't need to make right turns at 40 mph. I would have gotten Hankook tires but they were sold out everywhere. The Hankooks grip better than the Firestones and wear well and long. They may be a little cheaper than Firestones.

Q:1.I know that there is a tire mounting machine that mount the tires to the wheels,but is the same way when you change the tires? Since,both procedures resulted in having the tires bring on the tires.2.I never really pay attention to the wheel well before,but what is the thing that is the part of the car that is mounted to the wheel assembly?3.What does the thing look like?

1. you can 'change a tire', as in removing the entire assembly from the car and replacing it w/ the spare, w/o changing the tire on the wheel as many time a flat can be repaired w/o need ing a new tire. 2. the wheel well can sometimes refer to the storage area of the spare inside the trunk or rear of the car as well as the area in which the tire rotates outside tha car. the assembly you ask of which the wheel is mounted is usually the rotor or drum, part of the brake at the end of the axle, w/ lug nuts on it. 3. it looks like a small version of the wheel w/ the lugs pointing out instead of the holes that the wheel has. 4. how old are you?

Q:I just bought a new Honda Pilot in February. The front left tire became flat yesterday out of nowheremy question is since the car is new and only has 5,000 miles.should I have to pay for the new tire???

I would take the tire to a neutral repair center, notice not to the small corner repair shop. Ask them to inspect the tire, I've never seen a tire just go flat out of nowhere. If you know you didn't hit, curb or run over anything then ask them to check stem valve, rim leaks or for broken belts. Broken belts are seldom seen when dealing with new tires. Also I don't believe a belt really would result in a new tire flat, more possible with high mileage older tires. If you get the a reason (other than you're own idea why) get it in writing and make sure you get the receipt for the cost of their services. Take all this back to the dealer, be ready to compromise with them. This will be needed if one of the reasons for the flat was, looks like you picked something up and it was spit out or something similar. They will stand on the fact you can't prove a bad new tire, but you can always argue with new tires are good tread to hit something that hard would be some thing obviously noticed. As I always say notes, keep notes of who you spoke with by phone or face to face. Write them if needed and never give your original receipts to anyone, make copies at your own cost.

Q:Okay, I go outside, my rear passenger tire is flat. like most people, I look at the tire, and I also feel around the tire for a reason, there‘s always the chance the problem is at the bottom of the flat tire, but. finally, through alot of getting it to a very well known tire center, my car‘s tire not only has one, but two nails. One in the tread, and mysteriously one is in the sidewall and not at the bottom of the sidewall, which of course makes it a complete loss. I need not one tire, but two, as the sales clerk declares, according to their employee, because they will then match, and we can rotate them, oh and only $250. How in the you know what, or how, does a nail under any law of physics and volicity drive itself into the sidewall? The tire was not flat, the car was never driven on the rim??????

revell is correct. Tires should be replaced in pairs if you have the money and care about the car. A nail in the sidewall is possible. You should have seen it yourself in the driveway or on the street before you took it in. $250 for two tires is ok if you got decent tires. You can replace tires one at a time if money's tight and don't care too much about the car. It's your choice. My biggest problem with tire shops is that they sometimes overtighten my lug nuts, even though they were trained to use a torque limiter and a torque wrench. I have to fix their mistakes myself when I get home, so that I don't end up with warped rotors soon. I have my own electrical impact wrench and torque wrench. Tire salespeople will sometime try to upsell - that's because they work on commission. But in your case, everything appears legit. Sometimes they'll sell you an extended warranty without telling you about it - they get commission on that too.

Q:I was told that the best time to check the tire pressure is when the tires are cold.But what if the temperature is really low?If air inside the tires will expand when heated up, then I assume the air will contract too?Is there a possibility that the pressure of my tires are actually fine, but the air contracts and give me a wrong reading when the temperature is very low?In this case, should I add air to my tires if I get a low reading on tire pressure during winter?

Cold means cold, as in not recently driven on. Coldest time of day (morning) gives you the best baseline. Tire load carrying capacity diminishes as air pressure is reduced. You want to set them so that the recommended pressure is achieved at the coldest temperatures the tire is likely to encounter.

Q:How long does the car tire need to cheer? Where should I play?

Friends, the general tire pressure is a week to check once the general method of checking the air pressure is to use barometer to measure the pressure, and now the tires are vacuum tires, the eyes are not easy to see.It is recommended that you go to Auto Parts City to buy a barometer, Also about 30 yuan. Need to add gas, then you can go to the car beauty shop and tire store, you can add air pressure.
