Once snow tires are changed to warm-weather tires in spring it's tempting to wash them before putting to storage so that they don't stain stuff they come into contact with. One concern is that studs might get rusty and thus their lifetime will become slightly shorter. How realistic is this concern? Do snow tire studs get rusty? Will tires require some specific drying procedure if they are washed before putting to storage?

I have 2013 Nissan Rogue. I live in Toronto, Canada, so it is very cold here right now. I understand that cold temperatures can cause the tire pressure light to come on, but will it actually affect the reading if I use a pressure gauge (I think that's what it's called) to check the tire pressure? For example, the recommended PSI is about 40 I believe. On Saturday, the tire pressure in all four tires was pretty low so I filled them all up to 41. Now, after leaving my car outside for about two hours, the tire pressure light came on when I started up my vehicle, so I manually checked the pressure

There are many discussions regarding steel vs. alloy wheels in Winter on multiple forums. It would be good if someone could lay out full facts and help scale these differences (questions below) . For Steel wheels: Less expensive Uniform and made mostly of stamped steel May bend from potholes or any collisions Rusts if the paint layer wears off For Alloy wheels: More expensive Mostly cast aluminum alloys More sturdy through potholes, will crack and break on hard collisions Salt will wear off the alloy Better looks and choice in design The key questions are as follows.

Transmission shifts absolutely terrible hunts for gears constantly. It’ll clunk going from drive to park. The vehicle hesitates for more than a couple seconds sometimes when merging on the freeway making it dangerous when trying to get on. Toyota needs to recall these transmission and put the ones they fixed in

How much air does a tire typically lose each month? Do nitrogen-filled tires actually lose less air (well, nitrogen) each month? If so, what's normal for them? According to a tire store manager I spoke with, a tire will lose about 2 PSI each month, whether filled with air or nitrogen. Does this sounds about right? From my small sample size (the one vehicle I brought to him), he was right on the money. The tires were all 9 PSI low, and I hadn't checked them in about 4-5 months. (The spare was about 20 PSI low!) If he is correct, and this is typical, we all should be adding air every month, as e

Turning the steering wheel and returning to forward position made a disconnecting sounds with loose screws sounds inside.

This is a pretty common question and I get a lot of conflicting responses from "Extremely dangerous could blow out at any minute" to "I've driven on it for a month". A mechanic at midas told me I could drive on it for a week and be fine. I'm driving a 1993 Grand Am thats actually in fairly good condition. One of my tires cracked really badly on the side (I knew they were old and was going to replace them, all four).I had it swapped out for the donut tire but I don't know if it is safe for me to drive on the spare until the weekend. I drive about 24 miles per day to get to and from work. It's t

I destroyed a back tire on my 2008 Subaru Impreza manual transmission with viscous coupling. The manual says all four tires must be the same size. The spare tire must only be mounted onto the rear axle when applicable. I don't need to pull a fuse to disable AWB on my manual, but automatic transmissions do. I talked to a tire mechanic who has been doing this for decades. He says that I do NOT have to replace all four tires with new ones. He said replacing just the single blown rear tire with a new one (same general size, but different brand and likely slightly different circumference) will be t

I have a 2011 Ford Focus, and while the car itself is good quality, I have now ruined two tires in three months by merely driving over a screw. Ford offers no road hazard on their tires, so I am pretty annoyed with Ford. Both Costco and Discount Tires advise me I should either replace all 4 tires, or at least replace 2 tires. They also tell me that the replacement tires should be of the same speed rating. I can go to Ford and get ONE other tissue thin breaks on sight good for two month Hankook Optimo no road hazard OEM tire for $135. I can go to Discount and get TWO Yokohamas with road hazard

Here is my situation: 2012 Honda Civic EX, 1.8L with P205/55R16 tires recommended Three (both front, and left passenger) tires are OEM Continental ContiProContact P205/55R16 89H with about 20,000 mixed highway/city miles, average speeds 20 - 65 MPH One (right passenger) tire is a brand new Michelin Primacy MXV4 P205/55R16 89H with about 60 miles on it. I had a local tire shop mount and balance it. I had to get a new tire because the OEM right passenger tire had run over a large bolt, which I had professionally plugged and patched, but the tire would leak air and trigger the TPMS about every 6

I found that this small metal square labelled "1/4 FE" had come off my car's wheel yesterday. I am wondering what it could be, and whether it's important to put it back on.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while his father was driving and making a right turn into the driveway at his residence, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to slow down causing the driver to crash into the closed garage door. The vehicle went through the garage door and only stopped after crashing into the inside garage wall. The contact stated that there were skid marks on the floor in the garage. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was damaged. The vehicle was inspected by several friends with automotive

I got 4 new Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires for my 2012 Camry a few months ago. One tire blew out over the weekend, it got a screw in the center of the tread and apparently lost air fast causing the sidewall to blow out. The set of tires has about 15K miles on them, they are warrantied thru 65K. Am I fine with getting just one new tire or should I get a pair? I will be getting the exact same model tire. So I ended up getting just the one tire. Don't notice any difference in handling. The Discount Tire rep said it may screw things up with the car long term but I doubt it. They do not offer tire

Forced into a curb this morning while going about 35 mph...Just wondering what I'll be in for when I take it in later this afternoon. No air coming out as far as I can tell... Maybe 1/4-1/2 inch deep, and about 2 inches across... Any thoughts would be appreciated! Secondary question... I have only about 6800 miles on my car, and have already replaced one tire due to a bad flat (back left)...Given that this is an AWD vehicle... do we think I'll be able to get away with only replacing this one affected tire?

I have friends that goto Track Days frequently on their motorcycles. If the first session is very cold they use their old tires and don't ride real hard because they don't want to shear their good newer track tires. After the track warms up they will put on their newer tires and ride much harder. They discuss cold tire shearing as the reason they don't use their newer tires during this first morning session when the track is cold and dirty. What is cold tire shearing?

My car has been off the road for a few months, but will be back on it in a few weeks. The other day, I noticed some cracks between the treads on the front tyres. Not sure how long they've been there. I know tyres cracking can be bad, but I'm not sure how much is required before a cosmetic problem turns into a safety issue. Should these be replaced? Also, it's really only the front two that have significant cracking. Would it be reasonable to replace them and leave the back two for the time being? Front Left: Front Right: Rear Left: Rear Right:

I have an SUV with factory 16" steel wheels and P235/70R16 tires. The tires have just under 30,000 miles of gentle driving on them. Two of the tires have been leaking quite a bit (about 10 psi per week). I brought the vehicle to two different reputable independent mechanics, and they took the tires off, and couldn't find a problem. They applied bead sealant (which I know is controversial). Both also replaced the valve stems as a guess after they couldn't find leaks in the tires anywhere. I also checked for leaks myself with soapy water in a spray bottle. If the professionals couldn't find leak

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that he received a recall notice regarding the Power Braking Assist failure. The contact stated that while driving at 55-60 MPH, the warning message "Low Power Brake. Please Stop in Safe Area." Was displayed. The contact stated that the brake pedal became rigid and failed to respond when depressed. The contact depressed the brake pedal harder and it responded. The contact veered to side of the road. Then the contact was able to drive the vehicle to his residence. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the

For just about every car, there's at least two different "maximum tire pressure" ratings. The vehicle manufacturer's rating. This is usually found on a sticker attached to the driver's door. The tire manufacturer's rating. This is usually found on the side-wall of each tire. Given this, I've actually got two questions here. I'm fairly certain I know the answer to the first, but would rather the answerers here respond to confirm. The second is really the meat of things, though. Which rating should be followed when filling one's tires? Should you use the vehicle's rating, the tire's rating, the

I had a leaky tire, so I took it in to be checked for a puncture. The guy found no puncture but found it was leaking air where this clip met the tire: That clip had been there since I bought the car, I never really paid it any heed. The tire guy had limited English, he got across that he strongly thought I should remove it and that it was causing the leak, but couldn't explain why it was there in the first place. To show what they look like before removal, there's what looks like one more still on a non-leaky wheel, but it's a bit smaller: Some image search suggests these might be called "Meta

I* hit a curb and got a small tear in the front passenger side tire. The tear is about 1" long and goes mostly across the surface of the tire but also a little bit, maybe 1/4", toward the inside of the tire. If this is beyond cosmetic and not repairable, I'll of course replace the tire. But these tires only have about 3000 miles on them and to my uneducated eyes, this area of the tire looks like a rubber ridge designed for style or rim protection rather than structure. Not that the rim protection worked! These are BF Goodrich Advantage T/A tires, size 225/50R17, in case that matters. * OK, it

So today was that epic event of walking out into the parking lot at high noon, sun blazing, and finding out you have a completely flat tire. Skipping over the usual details about changing out a tire with insufficient equipment on scorching hot pavement, I changed out the tire for the spare and dropped the flat tire off at a tire shop for repair. When I got my vehicle home and was putting away the spare, I noticed that the nail was still in the tire itself. The nail appeared to be a roofing nail based upon the size of the head. There also appeared to be some sort of sealant surrounding the nail

On which of the following types of calipers should air pressure not be used to remove caliper pistons? A. Single piston B. Dual piston. C. Four piston. D. None of the above. I believe the answer is D. None of the above. But was hoping someone on here could confirm. I do not see why the number of pistons would impact using air on the caliper. I know that if one piston is completley removed from the caliper, you won’t be able to use air to remove the other pistons, becuase the air will escape through the bore that had the piston that was removed. So you are supposed to use a block of wood or som
