Two or 4? Need snow tire advice!
My fiancee’s car is a 2003 Altima that I would like to put some snow tires on. I have used 4 tires on my vehicle for work (paid for by the company) and am wondering how much difference there is between using 2 or 4. I am not cheaping out on her of course, but we both have concerns over the cost/benefit ratio as we are just starting out. I am very familiar with using 2 new tires on front wheel drive cars with less tread on the back with all seasons and summer tires, and experienced no difficulty in seasonal months. If you have used 2 tires snow tires only, what was your experience? More inside… We will only be using the car for my fiancee’s 1 mile commute to work, but of course, safety is worth any price. We are getting rid of the car in Dec 06, when the lease is up, otherwise 4 tires here in Pittsburgh would be a no brainer to use for the next few winters. I am not a true believer that auto shops are just looking out for my vehicle and me recommending four tires all the time - I am in sales and admittedly skeptical. However, as an enthusiast, I go through tires on my 2 vehicles, and I recognize the varying degrees of traction from mismatched to matched tires. If it was my vehicle, I would go with 2, no problem. I am just throwing it out there for the public; no speculation please - even if you are an installer. I would like first hand opinions (there was some “installer” on here recommending putting the best tires on the BACK of a front wheel drive vehicle!…You get my “drift”! Thanks!)
Can having 1 truck tire smaller than the others be dangerous or cause damage?
Nearly a year ago I blew out my right from tire on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. It is also a PreRunner and TRD. My tires are Dayton Timberline AT (all terrain) size 265/75R16. I could only afford on at the time but knew I would be needing three more soon. I checked my tire size in order to get multiple estimates from all the local companies and I realized they had put on a 265/70R16 on accident. I have driven nearly 20,000 miles on the oddly matched tires and had them rotated 6 months ago. Should I be worried about and damage to my truck? I’ve called the company and they apologized and offered to give me 4 new tires, one for free and all at the 75 size. They also said they would match the competitors price which was 50 dollars cheaper because I was a loyal customer.He then assured me that no damaged could have been done from their error. They were unable to acquire the 4 new tires I originally had and are now looking for something of equivalently quality. Should I go to a mechanic or trust the tire place who already charged me for one tire and delivered a smaller cheaper one .
donuts are for eating, not for driving.
one of my tires on my car goes flat every 4-6 months or so. it’s a different tire each time. what could possibly be causing this? i drive a 1998 saturn sl2. i’ve only owned the car for a little over 2 years, but there has been lots of work done on it in that time.
aside from the numerous mechanical issues, i’ve noticed something weird. every few months, one of my tires will go flat. at first, i thought it was due to the age of the tires. so each time a tire went flat, if it couldn’t be patched, i had it replaced. unfortunately, none of the tires were able to be patched. and now i’m starting to replace tires that i replaced a year ago.
currently, my rear driver’s side tire is flat. before that, it was the front driver’s side tire. before that, it was the front passenger side. you get the idea.
i’m not driving over broken glass and nails on my way to work every day. my commute is really short — less than 5 miles, on city streets (1 block of my commute is on a brick road). i park in a parking lot that is free of debris. when i’m at home, i park on the street in front of my apartment building, along with everyone else. i rarely park in the same spot every day as other people beat me to it. my boyfriend parks on the street too and his tires never go flat (lucky punk). as far as i know, i don’t have any enemies that would want to destroy my tires.
is there anything else that would be causing my tires to go flat? or am i just unlucky?
Come On Baby Size My Tire
Tire size substitutions? Even after reading the excellent advice in percussive paul’s question, I have questions about the allowed sizes of my tires. My current tires are Michelin MXV4s, and their size is 205/60 R 15 91 H (M+S). I had a flat last weekend, and figure that it’s high time I replaced all four tires (not just one) given that I am still driving on the tires I had replaced in 1998. I walk to work and only drive on weekends on highways or logging roads.
I am looking at the Costco site, which irritatingly only allows me to select tires according to my car’s year and model. Costco is offering two tire sizes for my car’s make/model/year, neither of which is the size of my current four tires.
My car’s user manual stipulates either 185/65R 15 88 or the size that I have now, which is 205/60R 15 91 H
Costco’s choices list either 185/65R 15 or 205/65R 15. I feel that the second size is wrong for my car, although the folks at Costco told me (on the phone) that ‘this is the specification, I see it on the computer, therefore it is correct’. Ugh.
My question to the AskMe tire experts: should I only consider the 185/65 tires from Costco or can the 205/65’s also be safely used on my car? I should add that both tire size choices include the Michelin model that I currently have (just not the identical size).
What would I be trading by going to a 185 tire instead of a 205? And could I use a 205/65 instead of a 205/60, eg would the /65 aspect ratio ‘fit’ on a 205 tire size, on my car?
I found this cool tire size applet and I see that different tire sizes will impact the accuracy of my speedometer - but my specific question remains, can I buy the 205/65 even if it is not in spec (does it matter) or should I order the 185/65s instead.
I like Costco’s prices - certainly *much* lower than going to my car dealership and getting replacement tires there, and also less expensive than other tire stores in Vancouver BC.
Please explain tire sizes to this tire newbie. Thank you.
Wobbly wheels
Can the machines that tire shops use to remove/install tires bend alloy wheels if not used properly? I need to know before I go complain.
Can a can fix a flat
Does anyone have any experience with alternatives to spare tires such as fix-a-flat or slime? I have just bought a second hand sports car that has no space fo luggage and am going away for Easter. There is a spare tire in the front that is taking up a lot of usable space and I am wondering whether modern roadside puncture repairs would actually do the job - should the worst happen.
Michelin Giving Up on PAX Run-Flat Tire
The company said its decision to discontinue its run-flat tires was a response to slow growth in the market, not consumer complaints.
Dry rot does not pass inspection
What kind of tires would you recommend for a 2001 Nissan Frontier SE RWD? I’m in the market for some new tires so I figured some you motorhead MeFites could offer some advice. I am being careful about this because a set of tires is a pretty significant investment for someone on my budget. Tirerack.com was pretty helpful and I narrowed it down to these. Any other suggestions?
