Can I put a different sized tire on my car, than the factory tires? p175/65/r14 to p185/65/r14?

May 23rd, 2010

I have a Standard 2002 Prizm with a default tire size f p175/65/r14 and I dont like the choice of tires for this size. I was told i could upgrade to 185/65/r14 without any issues. I do like several tires in that size. Would my car be able to house them? and Also would the car be affected in any way? Alignment? cornering?

Some additional info i know is: The LSI Prizm can house the p185/65/r14, so why not mine?

I am going to change all 4 tires. I have my eye on the michelin Harmony, Michelin X-Radial and the Dunlop Signature

Are General Grabber A/T 2 good tires?

May 18th, 2010

I had my thoughts set to some Dunlop Radial Rover A/T’s but i found these General tires that have a lot better ratings and reviews,

I want the truck to have a nice, old school, muscle/work truck, kind of look to it. So i figured i could put 235/70/16’s in the front and 265/70/16’s in the rear. The truck is a single cab, long bed, 1985 Ford F-150, RWD, automatic. That tire size difference wont harm the truck right? I just cant rotate them (which im willing to deal with). I drive mostly on the street rather than the highway and live in Austin where its pretty dry and never really icey. I just thought this tire would look nice on the truck. What do you think, good idea and good buy? Let me know, thanks to all the answerers.
Mark F, dude i forgot to mention that im 16 and i work at Mcdonalds, i dont have money for a 200 dollar tire, you know? These generals look and sound like their good sh!t and their half the price. Believe me ive been eyeing those Bridgestones Revo’s but my wallets got its attention on these Generals. Are these a good tire for a 16 year old, broke kid with a truck he loves?

Motorcycle tires, how are they sized?

May 16th, 2010

I have a katana and the recomended tire specs are michelin Front : 120/70 ZR17 (58W) Rear : 150/70 ZR17 (69W) Right now I have Dunlop 170/60 ZR17 (72W) on the rear and a Dunlop 120/70 ZR17 (58W) on the front.

My first question is, how are these tires sized? For example, in the spec rear tire: 150/70 R17 (69W) what each number stand for?

My second question is since I have a 170/60 ZR17 (72W) is that bad or good? Is it over or under?

Do new tires need time to get used to the road?

May 16th, 2010

I got rid of my corolla’s 4-year old tires yesterday and got 2 new 5 mm wider pairs from Dunlop, and got the alignment done. Today morning, at a roundabout, the back completely skid off in the road and the car turned 90 degrees and came to a stop. im pretty sure I wasn’t speeding or anything.This is a road I’ve been driving for the past 7 months, and I always drive the way I did today. But for some reason, this time it went wrong. Wat could be the reason? Do the new tires need time to get proper grip? or is there somethin else wrong with my car?

I want 16inch tyres for my corolla. wht shld i go for dunlop or yokohama or michelin? and wht width?

About how much is a 1992 Subaru SVX worth?

May 11th, 2010

Don’t link to Kelley Blue Book, as those values are usually too high, and don’t account for things that my car has.

Car has around 170k and transmission is perfect with an aftermarket cooler for the past ten years. recent work done, including New tires all around (Dunlop 5000 Z-rated), new calsonic radiator, HIDs, a moderately good stereo, and 16" alloy wheels from a 90’s Toyota Supra.

What could I possibly get for it?

How can I make it stop?

May 9th, 2010

I work at a car dealership and we sell a lot of tires. Anyhoo, the guy next to me is always selling Dunlop tires, but for some reason he feels the need to pronounce it "DUNLAP." It is ever so annoying. Is it because he’s from Ohio? How can I make it stop?

My tires are bald, what do I do?

April 25th, 2010

I have a 1996 yamaha RAZZ SH50 scooter, and the back tire is essentially bald. That’s a problem. I need to buy a new one, and would prefer to buy a rear wheel tire and a front wheel tire.

The tire that is on there now is a dunlop K398

I am looking to get a replacement for AT LEAST the rear wheel tire, but need a good price. I have found a pair on ebay for , which is way too much.

What would be the absolute CHEAPEST way to replace at least the rear tire? (low cost, but decent tires)

my question meaning would there be a way buy a tire that fits, but is not necessarily the one I already have attached (non-oem/aftermarket/ etc)

thanks for your time

NEW tires but they are 10 years old!!?? Brand new Dunlop Sports 9000 !!?

April 9th, 2010

I found a good deal on two Dunlop NEW 98%+ tread and bought them.

Unfortunately, after waiting 2 hours at the shop to get them mounted, the staff inform me that they cannot install them. Probably because there is a law in CA or entire US keeping them from installing 10+ year old tires…

Should I still use them? No damage whatsoever to the human eye..

Main question: Does tire quality significantly degrade if sitting for 10 years? (Even if they are garaged and new?)

I should probably also note that they are Max Summer Performance tires…no rain just california sunshine…can I use them for Summer atleast?
Addition:

I just realized I have a BMW 740i which is a big/heavy sedan and mechanical nightmares…

I think I should go with brand new as in 2010 to be safe…

What should I do with them?
