What causes wear on both outer edges of a tire?
underinflated tires
Why does your car sway?
most likely bad shock absorbers or underinflated tires
What are the most effective ways to check and improve car mileage?
Keep tires pumped up. Tires that are underinflated have a higher rolling resistance on the road.
Is it true that Underinflated tires flex too much and build up heat which can lead to tire blowouts?
Yes it is
Where would the tread of a tire be worn out if the tire were under-inflated?
Underinflated tires wear faster on the sides than the middle.
Inflate tires after vehicle is weighted down or before?
before. this will prevent the tires from blowing in the case that they might be underinflated to begin with. and be wary of putting the tires to there max pressures as that is not always the pressure that performs the best under heavy weight loads.
What can cause tires to burst in long trips in warm weather?
being overly worn, overly loaded, over-inflated, OR, surprisingly, underinflated (they get very hot if they do not have much air)

What can affect gas mileage?
Underinflated tires, carrying too much weight in vehicle, excessive speed, engine that needs a tuneup, brakes dragging, or partially clogged catalytic converter.
What is a use for tires?
It's a more expedient means of ensuring tyre pressure is in the correct range. One which is properly inflated will make a much different tone than one which is underinflated or overinflated.
What does the 91W on your tire mean?
AnswerThe W in 91W after the size code indicates a speed rating. While these tires are proably Z rated (speeds in excess of 149MPH) in the tire size the W indicates that the tires are rated to a higher speed. W and X were added since there were no guidelines about how much over 149 Z rated tires were good for.W indicates a top rated speed of 168MPH._____The "91" indicates load capacity per tire! You'll get about 1350lbs per tire.:)
When inspecting your tires you should look for?
Tire impact damage road damage includes puntures cuts tears and other physical tire injuries. Bulges on the tire indicating the carcass is separating from the plies. Uneven tire wear. Cupping indicates bad shocks or struts. Tires wearing on the middle of the tread indicates too much air pressure. Wearing on the both outside edges of the tread indicates too little air pressure. Wear on one side of the tread indicates front end out of alignment. Scuffing also indicates alignment problems. Cracks in the tire indicates the tires are dry rotted and need replacing no matter how much tread they have left.
