Goodyear Tires

Exclusive summary about Goodyear Tires by Peter Gitundu

Goodyear tires sounds like a good name for a company that produces such valuable goods, doesn't it? Fortera wheels are another model, as good as the Eagle F1, but with a triple tread technology that allows the tire to run on all roads. It is more suitable for sports utility vehicles, cross over and passenger vehicles.

Wrangler model car wheels have a rugged toughness and for this reason they can be used on all types of roads. Do not mistake their toughness for inability to perform, in any case, they offer you a smooth ride and comfort even over rugged terrain.

Other car wheels that you can choose from and which are produced by Goodyear wheels are the Integrity wheels, Ultra Grip Ice ones that are best suited for icy roads and Eagle ultra GW 3.

Goodyear Explains the Advent of New Tire Designs

Exclusive summary about Goodyear Tires by Joe Thompson

We may not have noticed it but tires do have their own share of design and style. Current trends in the tires market show seem to ask tire manufacturers to bring about the most unique designs on the tires’ sidewall.

The challenge has already been accepted by the various tire manufacturers and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, one of the worlds’s best and most relied on manufacturers of tires, is certainly joining in the bandwagon.

The engineers have to create tires that can go faster, last longer, handle more stresses from both higher powered vehicles and consumer abuse, and deal with extreme ranges in temperature and road surfaces.” Tires are usually black in color and their challenge now is to make that black tire more appealing to those who are simply viewing it aesthetically. Combined, Goodyear tires get a whole new look.

Choosing Car Tires


Choosing Car Tires

Exclusive summary about Choosing Car Tires by Budda Oliver

Tires are among the most important components of your car. There are many tire options covering wide ranges of price, performance, and appearance. An important consideration you should make when choosing tires is their tread life. This determines the approximate lifespan of the tire. This determines the approximate lifespan of the tire.

A manufacturer's wear rating is not always an accurate reflection of a tire's lifespan, however. One way to determine a tire's life expectancy is to find its Uniform Tire Quality Rating (UTQR). Tire grades are represented as a percentage against a control, so a tire with a tread rating of 150 will last approximately 50 percent longer than a tire with a tread rating of 100.

Wet-weather tires are designed with taller treads and a tread pattern which directs water out from under the tire. Speed ratings are a secondary consideration for most tire shoppers. This means that nearly always their tread rating will be lower than tires rated for lower speeds.

Choosing Tires: Cracking the Sidewall Code

Exclusive summary about Choosing Tires by Guy Goodyear

Tread wear is followed by a number which tells you how quickly the tire will wear. These numbers are a comparative scale developed by testing the tires under controlled conditions. A tire with a tread wear rating of 150 will last 1.5 times as long with a tire with a rating of 100.

Passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy trucks all use different sizing systems, as tires from one type are not normally used on another. The lower this number is, the wider the tire compared to the height of the sidewall.

The load index is an assigned number that shows the maximum load for that tire. The speed rating is based on rigorous scientific testing that measures tire durability under high speed conditions.

Tires for Hybrid Car


Tires for Hybrid Car

Exclusive summary about Tires for a Hybrid Car by Will Treps

The tires for hybrid car are also designed to contribute to fuel efficiency and minimized road resistance.

Tires for these types of cars are generally low-rolling resistance tires. Every time the tires of your car need to be replaced, always use tires that are specifically made for hybrid vehicles. Low-rolling resistance tires roll easily on the surface, reducing drag and resistance. When buying low-rolling resistance tires, see to it that they are made out of a composite of rubber particles, which create more energy efficient, stiff low-rolling tires. Instead of the high PST's in conventional tires, hybrid car tires utilize less air pressure.

There are many advantages to buying tires for hybrid car. Some drivers don't feel that the tires grip the surface well.

Recommendations on Hybrid Car Tires

It is important that you know how to assess hybrid car tires for better performance. Gas mileage is influenced more than just the weight and size of the tire. Keep in mind that rolling resistance of a tire has a bigger influence. Basically, harder tires equal less rolling resistance.

Generally, if the tire is too round or too hard, the tire-patch will be too small to adhere to the road surface effectively. The majority of hybrid cars utilize some kind of low rolling resistance tire. Several hybrid car users suggest an absolute minimum of psi or 35 psi. Always remember, though, the safety issues regarding over-inflating your tires.

Car Tire Reviews and Information


Car Tire Reviews and Information

Exclusive summary about Car Tire Reviews and Information by Scott Paul

It is important to know how tires are assembled because each tire is different.

Tread - This is the part of the tire which comes in contact with the surface of the road.

Tread wear - Tread ware is simply how long the tread should last on a tire before going bald. Most manufacturers overstate the tread ware of their tires to give the impression of quality.

Sidewall - You guessed it, the sidewall is the side of the tires. These sidewalls are reinforced with rubber and fabric plies that give the tire strength and flexibility.

Goodyear Assurance TripleTred - More people recommend this tire than any other all season tire. TheTripleTred is a longer wearing tire than the Continental, Yokohama and BF Goodrich according to experts and consumers who own and use the tires. This tire carries an 80,000 mile tread ware warranty.
