Tire Pressure Affects your Gas Mileage on New & Used Tires

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I think you might already know this, but let me explain how it works; ready? 

So your tires have “psi” numbers that have been included by the Manufacturers , right? Let’s pretend your tires are supposed to be filled to 35 psi. Tires are designed to have 6 square inches touching the floor at all times; which means if your tires are filled correctly, you should have 6 square inches touching the floor at all times. It really isn’t that hard.

Hypothetically, let’s pretend you took out some air & now you have 30 psi on your 24″ Used Tires from Bridgestone Used Tires . This means that there would be less air, which leads to more than 6 square inches hitting the ground. When you have more than what is required, than your engine is going to have a harder time getting your car moving when you’re at a dead stop. 

See what I’m saying? So when you have properly inflated tires, you should be wasting the right amount of gas; but when you have improperly inflated tires, you end up burning a whole in your wallet.

Tire Iron

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Tire Irons, basically, are tools used to install & remove tires from your vehicle! There’s really no other way of putting it; to be perfectly honest. If you use it right, it should detach the nuts that are used to hold the wheel in place, along with the tire that comes around the rim. If you wouldn’t know how to do this on your own (like me), you can just go to your local Auto Shop & they should have one. 

You won’t really see people on the road changing their tire with a Tire Iron considering we have Triple A now-a-days; but a lot of Auto Repair shops still use Tire Irons to replace old tires with new ones. They look at Tires by Size ; like if they’re 20″ Used Tires or even 24″ Used Tires , to make sure they’re using the right amount of pressure. Many people would refer to them as Lug Wrenches, but it’s essentially the same thing. 

So if you need to change your tire for whatever reason, now you know the most important tool: a Tire Iron.

Drive Safely!
