Would you change to a set of new tires after your factory tires have worn out?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Let’s say that you’ve had a bad experience with your factory tires, then you’ve worn them out after around 20-30k miles, and you’ve decided that you want to change to a different brand and/or size. Would you do it? Do you think it’s worth it?

Because I’m thinking of changing my stock 16-inch Goodyears to something sportier and that handles better on the corners, such as the Falken 912s OR the Kumho ASX’s. Only thing is….since I got a maintenance package for free tire rotation at my dealer along with free oil change for 5 years or up to 60,000 miles (whichever comes first), would they probably switch back to the Goodyears or they wouldn’t do anything to the new ones I’ve put on (say, the “Falken 912s”)

Wont help. The 20-30K and 16″ tells me the problem is you like to light up the tires. The replacements will smoke (wearout) reguardless of make. Try looking for a tire with a higher wear rating

………………….

you can put on any tire that fits. the dealer will not say or do anything. i always change brands when i change out my tires

………………

Nothing says you have to keep the factory tires. If you change the size just make sure you stay within 10% of the original diameter. At least that’s what the rule of thumb used to be if you were driving a newer computerized car. The computer uses engine rpm’s along with vehicle speed to process certain vehicle management systems like ABS and Cruise control and such. If you get to far off in size it will affect these systems. If you go with a larger wheel just get the lower profile tire to compenstate. That seems to be the trend anyway, rubber band tires. You can go from a 16 inch tire to an 18 inch tire that is still the same diameter or at least close. That’s not really my thing but it is the popular style these days, I’m still stuck on the 15X10’s with the N50’s hanging out the rear fenders and skinny front runners. As for the free rotations, usually where ever you buy the tires will rotate them for free as part of the service plan.

………………

absofrigginlutely.
my story: bought a 92 honda civic. stock tires sucked, and wore out in 11 months. i find out years later when i get a disk of those dealer tech service bulletins that there were so many complaints on tires that year that they had a “secret warranty” thing happening and if i had come in and complained, even after i bought the new/different tires, i could have gotten some cash. too late when i found out, years later. so, the moral is, not only won’t the dealer be upset, it might be worth your while to complain to them, loudly, untl they pay you to be quiet. or maybe not, but it won’t hurt to ask.

Why does pie fly high in the sky when it is only going to die on a guy with a stie in his eye?

The pies are made of flies, when they fly too high the flies all die above the stie then ouch, the eye.

Knocking in Engine?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Like an idiot I ran my pickup through some deep water today. The truck is a 98 ford ranger 3.0l V6 with a 5 speed manual trans. The truck died. I pushed it out of the water, and started it. I noticed a light knocking at RPMs slightly above idle. I pulled the dipstick and found it milky. I know that there was water in the intake. But I don’t think it hydrolocked as it started back up after I pulled the intake pipe. I bought 3 oil changes worth of filters and cheap oil, plus my normal motorcraft oil/filter combo. I also bought some STP oil treatment.

Do you think it is a bent Con. Rod, or a lifter? I’m praying for a lifter..

…….

Sounds like you did hydraulic the motor and bent at least one of the rods slightly . Situations like that won’t effect the lifters , usually the rods give out .

If you would like to increase the functional value of your truck, you should equip it with the right accessories such as the nerf bars for truck. But what are nerf bars? To most people nerf bars are metal side steps. These are those tubular bars that are placed on the undersides of your truck to serve as steps so you’d find it easy to get in and out of your truck.

Nerf bars for trucks are great for providing safety to children and older people who get in and out of the truck. Trucks, by nature, have high-ground clearance so you’d be able to provide maximum safety to your kids when they have nerf bars to step on to.

Aside from the ease of getting in and out of the truck, you’d be able to give protection to the vehicle’s body. Online, you can find all sorts of nerf bars. From stainless steel nerf bars, chrome bars or powder-coated nerf bars, they come in different sizes, shapes and designs.

The nerf bars for trucks are commonly referred to as boss bars or step bars. If you want to maximize your truck’s functionality, you should definitely place nerf bars on your truck. Having them allows you to protect your truck from the dangers of severe weather conditions or while you are traversing dangerous road tracks. With nerf bars, you are assured of extra protection during frontal or side collision. GP

Honda 6 Disc Compatible with MP3.(2005yrs)Problems!?

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I fixed on my wife car.Anti theft light blinking.ON and OFF button pressed down,but nothing happened.The screen remains black.There is nothing to show me to enter the code.I used the black,yellow and red wires behind the player

rom your description I dont understand your problem????

If it is the factory honda radio here are some basic hints.

1. The factory honda radio does not use the universal aftermarket wire colors !!!!!!
therefore you should NOT change any wires behind the radio, the black/yellow/red wire colors (ground/power/accy) are only used in aftermarket wire harness. Your factory radio should be wired to the original harness color for color.

2. If the radio says ERR1 or CODE , or has no display
a. make sure the wires are hooked up to the factory wire colors in you changed anything
b. remove the positive battery post for 60 seconds and then reconnect. the radio should say CODE, then press the proper radio code.
c. if you do not have the proper radio code, then press preset 1 , preset 6, and the power button at the same time. when done properly, the radio serial number will appear. take the serial number to a honda dealer with your registration, they will give you the radio code free of charge

Auto Insurance

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

The internet is a great resource for tips on buying insurance. For example, the land beneath your house is not at risk from incidents such as theft and fire that are covered in your homeowners policy. If you include the land’s value in deciding how much insurance to buy you may wind up paying a higher premium than you should. Making your home more disaster resistant can also help you save on your home insurance. You may be able to save on your premiums by adding storm shutters, reinforcing your roof or buying stronger roofing materials. Older homes can be retrofitted to make them better able to withstand earthquakes. In addition, consider modernizing your heating, plumbing and electrical systems to reduce the risk of fire and water damage. Improving your home’s security can help cut costs also. Adding a smoke detector, burglar alarm, or dead-bolt locks can earn you a 5 percent discount.

There are also some helpful hints online that can guide you to the best auto insurance for you. Many people are unaware that should they have a car loan, they will need both collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision coverage pays for damage to your car even if the accident was your fault. Comprehensive coverage pays for damages that weren’t caused by an car accident, such as fire, theft or vandalism.

Discount Travel

Women rarely set aside time for themselves, so it is particularly important you take the time you need, with a vacation. Self indulgence isn’t something to be ashamed of, in fact you will be much healthier because of it. Most women report having great fun when traveling alone. They prefer to spend less time sitting around, and more time doing. And doing a lot on a trip opens the door to more chance encounters and fun activities. Women also use guidebooks, enroll in escorted tours, research more and often know precisely what they want to do. Women find that upon returning from their first trip solo, they feel they have accomplished a certain something.
