We all know that changing New & Used Tires is not the easiest thing to do .. right? Thankfully for you, I have put a couple of steps together to help you in your time of need (: So here are a few things you are going to need : a Tire Iron & a Pressure Gauge. Now let’s get to the actual changing of your tires. 

1. Oil the bead of the tire that you got from the Used Tire Warehouse .. or wherever. The good thing is that any oil will pretty much do; but in reality, not all oils will saturate with the bead oil. On a flat surface next to wherever you’re changing the tire, fit the tire onto the rim. You can do this by placing your New or Used Tire over the rim & then just pushing down on the tire. 

2. Use the Tire Iron & rotate it around the wheel to make sure that it is fitted comfortably & evenly around the OEM Wheel. When you come around to doing this, push the Tire Iron over the edge of the wheel & approximately 1/2 an inch into the tire. When you maneuver it out of the tire, do it slowly so that way nothing unexpected happens. After you have done this completely around your Factory Original Wheel, then you have officially attached the wheel to the tire (: 

3. After this, visit a tire shop so they can put the tire in something called a spin balance. If you haven’t guessed, this will make sure that your tire is balanced. 

4. Inflate your tire the way it’s supposed to be .. just read the tire’s air pressure standards. Finally, use a pressure gauge to measure the pressure weight.

You’re done,

Don’t know if you need to rotate your New or Used Tires ? That makes two of us, let’s figure it out together; okay? 

1. If you just so happen to have Front Wheel Drive (which you most likely will have), you need to keep your Front tires in the best condition; by doing this, you can increase the grip your tires have with the road. Since you want to find out if your tires need to be rotated, just go ahead & grab a Tread Depth Gauge; which you can find at pretty much any Auto Parts Store & at all Used Tire Shops . 

2. When you finally get to a point where you’re ready to check them, measure the tread line in the middle of your front tires. Take a note of the measurement.

3. After this is done, walk to the back of your car & do the same thing for your rear tires. 

4. If the tread on your rear tires just so happens to be 1/32 of an inch thicker than the tires in the front of your vehicle, then you may need to have your tires rotated.

Pretty easy, right? I was even surprised that I can do it. 

Off to the Tire Shop,

P.S : It’s not a valid coupon; just something to match the blog-so don’t get too carried away(:

Do your New & Kumho Used Tires keep going flat & you have no idea why? Here are some things that you should check : 

1. Inflate your tire / wheel so it’s at 40 PSI. 

2. Either buy or make a mixture of soapy water & spray it onto your tires & wheels. 

3. Mark the areas where the bubbles appear with a tire crayon. 

4. If some leaks in the wheel are found after this is done, do the steps above to reseal the tire (: 

The main reason why a Modular Wheel / Tire leaks is because the person that is changing or changed the tire stuck their tire spoon into the silicone seal & evidently damaged it during the mounting of the tire. So just be sure you trust the person that is changing your tire (:

Off to my Grandpa’s house,

Do you ever wonder why your New & Used Tires have the little grooves in the tires? Me, too; which is the exact reason why I decided to share my findings with you.

If the tires were just to be bald & smooth, there would be no traction when you drive in the rain or wet surfaces; therefore, you’d be moving & slipping all over the place. That’s the exact reason why your Dunlop Used Tires have tread-no one wants you to be slipping all over the place, crashing into poles, & making everyone late to work; that’d be selfish! When they have the small grooves, it channels away the water from the Contact Patch- which is where the rubber meets the surface that you’re driving on. 

If you drive a Sports Car, your New or Used Tires have a very aggressive tread wear because the main purpose of having a Sports Car is to have a better handling “feeling”; & how are you going to do that if your tire has no tread ! .. Right? 

Learning something new everyday, 
Mykalanne.

This is pretty important; whether you think so or not. See, you can’t have your New & Used Tires too hot or they’ll blow .. & you can’t have them too cold because that’s just not the way that they work. 

Here’s how it works; in a nutshell : The temperature grade that you have on your Dunlop Used Tires or whatever tires states how well your tire will perform under intense heat conditions. There are three grades that your tire can have : either an A, B, or a C. The temperature grades are given during a controlled test. The tire will be under specific & many speed tests until the tire is completely destroyed. If the tire can last a long time without being demolished, then it evidently deserves an A. It receives a C when it meets the minimum requirements that the government has established. 

It really isn’t that hard to understand; but it’s kind of hard to determine if your New or Used Tires have an A, B, or C .. right? The best thing that you can do is call a manufacturer like Falken Used Tires or something & ask what grade your tire has; just in case you want to change your mind & buy another tire.

Hope this helps (:

Do you have some trouble (like me) when it comes to buying New Used Tires for your vehicle? Lucky for you, I’ve included some Buying Tips in this blog to help you (: 

1. Know the basics of your tire .. basically. 
For example, the width, profile, & diameter size; this should all be printed on the Sidewall of the tire. 

2. Choose the right tire.
-Make sure you know the right size! Here’s an example: “225 / 50 R 16 60 H M+S”
-225: Width; 50: Profile; R: Radial Construction; 16: Rim Size (Diameter); 60: Load Rating; H: Speed Rating; M+S: All-Season Driving”. 

3. Know where to buy your tires.
If you go to a dealership, you know you’re going to feel lighter because it’ll put a hole in your wallet; if you go to your local Used Tire Shops , you’ll easily pay half. 

4. Think about your driving habits. 
Do you drive a lot? Do you carry heavy stuff? Do you drive over a rough terrain? Buy the tires that your vehicle needs & the ones that will most likely fit your driving style. 

5. Know your tire tech ..
Since Manufacturers like Michelin Used Tires are always changing their tires & how they work, make sure you just stick with the ORIGINAL technology because that is what works best on your car. 

6. Reflect on the fuel economy .. especially since we’re in a recession.
Some big shot at Bridgestone Firestone said that depending on the tire you buy, you can see a 15-20% difference in your fuel economy. 

7. Take care of your tires !
I don’t even think I need to remind you to take care of them .. that’s a given (:

Hope this helps,
Mykalanne.

So in this blog; we’re just going to identify & explain the main & basic problems that you may encounter with your 17″ Used Tires - or any tires for that matter - along the road. 

Underinflation This can cause your New & Used Tires to wear less on the inside & more on the outside. It even causes you to waste more gas than you really should be wasting. If you want to avoid this, just be sure to check the tire pressure every month. 

Overinflation makes your tire wear more in the center of your New or Used Tire’s tread. Your tire pressure really shouldn’t even be greater than what is listed on the side of the tire. Most manufacturers frequently suggest a pressure that’s a little lower than maximum because it will give you a softer ride; but if you have higher pressure, your mileage will improve drastically. 

Misalignment of your wheels will make your tires wear unevenly from the inside & out. It will also most likely make your New or Used Tires give you a rough & a somewhat torn appearance.

Take care of your tires,
Mykalanne.

When it comes to New Tires, everyone is satisfied with the performance, handling, & things like that. To be completely honest, if you have Used Tires , you can make them just as good as if you’ve bought new ones if you follow these easy steps: 

1. Keep the Alignment aligned. 

Alignment was designed to improve handling, cornering, & tire tread. 

2. Switch Tire Manufacturers. 

If you have Hankook Used Tires , I suggest you switch to Yokohama Used Tires because they will last longer & are built to carry a heavier load better than other Manufacturer’s Tires.

3. Pressure of Inflation.

Even though the front tires usually have a less PSI than the ones in the back, you will wear tread more evenly if you drive harder than longer. When you are planning to  drive for a long while, just lower the pressure a little on each of your tires & you should be just fine. 

Hope this helps, 
Mykalanne.

It’s a fairly simple process; let’s do it together (: 

1. Take the cap off from the tire valve.

2. Don’t get confused because the Tire Gauge has two ends; one end to place in the valve & the other end to read the measurement. 

3. On the end that’s supposed to go in the valve, be sure that that you quickly & securely create a tight seal. The measurement stick should shoot out after this. 

4. Inspect the Tire Gauge & check how much pressure you have in your 18″ Used Tires . The number on the far right is the amount of pressure that you have in your tire. 

5. Make sure to do it a couple of times to be sure that you get the precise reading. If you don’t get a quick seal on the valve, it will not read correctly. Keep on testing the pressure until you get the same number about 2 or 3 times.

Be sure to check it every so often to avoid major problems with your Used Tires in the future. 

Easy, right? 
Mykalanne.

Farm Tractor Used Tires are probably the best tires that you can get for your Farm vehicle. The reason for this is because the Used Tires are already broken into & most likely won’t go out on you all of a sudden. 

Just like any other tire, they need to be well taken care of-just like the wheels on your car. You should check the air pressure frequently, make sure they have no nails in them, & just be mindful that since they are used on a tougher terrain, the tread may wear faster; which means that you may need to replace them more often-which is no problem.

If you visit your local Junk Yard, I’m sure you’ll find the tires that you need & may even be able to buy akcertain amount of tires by the bulk for a low price; which is great so you don’t have to go back & forth every so often .. right? 

Off to feed some pigs,
