Tires – For – Cars – Suv’s – Trucks

Appreciate:    That You dropped into cruise around my site.

I am going to hang some pictures of some of the older generation’s loved and respected cars and trucks, possibly along with some new more current auto versions.

Keep in mind that as I place pictures on the page with their great-looking Tires and awesome must-have Rims,  they will be randomly picked and posted.

I am thinking at this point in time,  that may or may not change,  that I will be working with the Chevy, Ford, and Chrysler Families.

So if You ever got to get behind the wheel and drove one of these gracious cars or trucks, You would be noticing that on a cold morning or a vehicle that has sat for an extended period of time, when You went to drive away that the ride would be noticeably quite rough.

Now that would have been due to the make of tire composition that was used in the “bias-ply tire” that started out rather flat on the bottom until the tire warmed itself and then reformed its contour of being round again.

Randomly picked a truck here:   although maybe the colors could be influencing me to post one of so many awesome

trucks of  (yesterday past) is that even a word or did I make that up?

As you are probably aware these vehicles of time past,  are,  I am quite sure “tire dressed”  with the best Rims and best Tires to fit the vehicles and the driver’s application.

It’s time for me to go and look at an older time “SUV”  not really sure what I am going to come up with,  so this might take a while.

Why, because I just Love looking at these wonderful Cars and Trucks of the past and what is now being done in the world of restoration and customization,  but I will be back after I do my search.

SUV of the past: 

 

Okay so back in the day,  this vehicle was probably more so-called a (panel van) which today it would be, or might be called an “SUV” of sorts.

Alright then,  I am finding that I am losing my grip on what I am trying to bring back to this site of mine,  and that is “Tire Talk”  I am behaving like a worn set of Tires that can’t seem to stay grounded to the route of my destination.

Tires: that’s why I am here.

I am not an expert “yet” in Tire management,  I was in the Automotive Field,  Heavy Duty Truck Field and then specialized in Automatic Transmission Diagnostics and Rebuilding.

I am now finding more of a bonding time with the Rubber that makes contact with the road surface,  whether that being Freeways – Highways,  Mountain Terrain adventures, or anything in between, by where the safety of drivers, passengers, and family members are Priority while out on the road traveling to one’s destination with the correct tires that fit the designated environment.

Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG)  This is to inform the buyer of information on the “tread wear, traction, and temperature capabilities ” of each Tire,  this may appear on the tire sidewall or something like this (150 AB).

The breakdown of the numbers and letters is this:  ‘150’ indicates tire tread wear ratings,  ‘A’ indicates traction ratings, and ‘B’ indicates temperature ratings.  Just remember that the numbers and letters displayed here are just being used for breakdown purposes.

Now the other term:  ‘Tread Wear Indicators’  which is the tire wear status,  those being the narrow bars that rear their heads when the tire tread is worn below the legal limit of, 2/32″ of an inch.

Need To Look Closely

This converts to less traction and less water displacement in the rain which could convert to planning or riding on top of the water not cutting through the water like a new tire would. Picture by Bing  Also worn tires are more prone to the intrusion of unwanted projectiles such as nails, screws, anything with a sharp piercing edge,  and no those wear bar indicators that run between the tire tread are not there to give You more traction at the end of your tires life.

Are You, looking for this kind of Tire Traction, then You must like water and mud, all in day off-roading. 
Or are You,  looking to play in the snow for a while, some snow skies or a winch might be a good idea to pack with You. Or some other Accessories.What about,  a nice drive on a beautiful sunny day mixed with possible cloudy conditions with your new Tires and Rims? Make the day yours, drive, and explore the road ahead. Find Your Way.

Hoping I have given anyone that has dropped into my site a bit of tire rating in-site to help you with your tire purchasing

Thanks for now…Doug
