In a study, the NHTSA said that there are too many people on the road that are driving with 16″ Used Tires that are bald; & the local gas stations aren’t really making this problem any better. Statistics researched by the NHTSA state that an approximate 9% of passenger cars that you see on the road today have at least one bald tire; there are a lot of gas stations that don’t provide the air pumps that they’re supposed to. 

14% of gas stations in the United States do not have air pumps or malfunctioning pumps. Not only that, the pumps that do have air pumps do not always have the pressure gauges that should go along with it .. which is a “no-no”. 

In July 2001 - which was NINE years ago - the NHTSA regulated that all vehicles need to have Tire Pressure Monitoring & Warning Systems in Passenger Cars & Light Trucks.

Now you’re totally safe !

Off to the gas station,

Do you happen to know the size of your tire? If not, that’s totally fine; that just makes two of us. 

Let’s pretend your tire says something like “225/50R16”. The first number that you see would be the width (225). The second number is considered to be the profile of the tire (50). Last, but most definitely not least; “R16” is the actual size of your 16″ Used Tires .. or wheel. So say you need a new rim or hubcap, when they ask you for the size, you’d simply say, “I need a 16 inch _______.” 

Please keep in mind that this is only an example & all tires have different numbers; this is only something to refer to, but if you have any questions, you can look for Tires by Size on our All-Used-Tires.com site (:

It’s easy right?
