High Pressure
The tire pressure is dependent upon the type of tire and the year of the vehicle. In general, 30 pounds is adequate for most tires. The exact tire pressure should be stamped on the side of the tire.
It looks like a stripe because it is moving so fast, but really it is just the writing on the side of the tire "Good Year" and "Eagle."
They are distributed by a Japanese company. Who makes them varies from year to year. The country of manufacture is written on the side of the tire. The DOT code will tell you the plant they were made in.
There are a series of numbers printed on the sidewall of the tire, just above the bead area. They will not be as uniformed or professional looking as the tire size number or printed brand of the tire. One side of the tire will have these additional numbers and the other side won't. The side with the most numbers", will tell you the manufacture date. The last 4 numbers are the date recorded as week and year. For instance if it lists 1608, then the tire was made the 16th week of 2008.
4808 on a tire DOT code stands for the week and year it was made. 48th week of 2008
As per my opinion the capitol tire is not that much good choice to buy.It's review is bad and better you can go for Bridgestone or Good year Brand which are very reliable.
Many of the specialty tire stores (i.e., Good Year, and Jiffy Lube) have good pricing on oil and tire changes. Local repair shops are likely higher in cost.
Yes, I used a pair as snow tires last year, they were good,and still have lots of tread.
For tire services I have always been pretty fond of going to good year. They have great and dependable employees who are more than capable to do repairs on my tires.
You don't say what model year , but 1997 to 2001 Mercury Mountaineer's have the tire jack in the cargo area , behind a removable plastic panel , on the drivers side , near the liftgate
Check the door panel on driver side. It has a plate with the information specific for that year and model.
Depening on the year of the car the battery is located in the trunk on the right side of where the spear tire is located.
