What replaced Carbon Black in rubber used to make tires and in what year did it appear in tires?
Silica is the newer agent used to make tire rubber, but Carbon Black is still used in the production of retread tires with very good results in improving mileage per tire. Carbon Black and silica are reinforcing agents mixed into the ingredients of tire base materials, such as natural and manufactured rubbers, to improve the characteristics of tires.
Why you reduce pressure in a car tire while moving on a motor way?
You should not reduce tire pressure just because you are going to be on a long roadway. You should set the pressure to the cold pressure as specified by the vehicle and tire manufacturers and you should leave it alone. It is normal for the pressure to increase when the tire is hot. DO NOT bleed it off. This will cause the tire to overheat and potentially cause it to fail, possibly with catastrophic consequences. Alwaysadjust pressure when the tire is cold.

What is the difference between tire balancing and tire alignment?
tire balancing is when the tire is spin balanced so it wont vibrate when you drive down the road.tire alignment isn't really aligning the tire as much as it is correcting the components of the front end so that the tires are straight up+down and side to side.when this is off it will cause premature wear of the tires.
How do you find gage pressure?
Gage pressure is the difference between atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure. If you fill your tire to 35 psi as read on a tire gage, this is the gage pressure. The absolute pressure inside the tire is the pressure of the atmosphere (14.7 psi normally at sea level) plus the gage pressure.
Difference between used and retread tires?
A used tire is a tire that has been used on a vehicle before. Retread tires are different in that they have been used before, but then they went through a process that extends their life. Retread tires are kind of like "refurbished" tires.

How do you tell if a tire is a retread?
There is usually a seam on the tyre wall, sometimes it is not very noticable but if it is a retread it will be there. Also look out for partially obscured (brand name) writing. EG. Firestone with the top missing is a dead give-away.

Why is your rear tire makes noise when you drive?
difficult to know what noise you are talking about, but could be a wheel bearing that has run dry and starts to "hum" when it gets hot. could possibly be that the tire is simply under inflated or if it's a retread, the tire could be coming apart which means get it checked right away.
Are retread tires worth buying?
The decision of buying used or retread tires is ultimately up to you and only you. There are safety risks and the cost is reduced for this and less lifespan on the tire. If you are ok with the risk and reduced lifespan that is your judgement, however remember that you get what you pay for, and any injury or even death is going to cost you a lot more than a few bucks for tires.

Where is the spare tire located on the 2005 Chrysler town and country?
LOL It's NOT worth using. Underneath the van, between driver's and passengers seat. Hard for a normal size guy to crawl under there when it has a flat tire and is even lower to the ground then normal.
Why should retread tires not be installed on a steering axle?
Retreads should not be put on steering axles because of the strain the steering axle gets. On the other hand I service alot of Garbage Disposals that run retreads on front axle because they are not going long hauls. There is nothing wrong with running retreads, they are actually less often to come apart than a new tire. Retreads have a bad name because of the tire you see on the sides of the road but what most people don't know is that the retread did not fail the casing however did. If you see wire on the piece of rubber then that means the Recap held on the tire blew out. Most often caused by old casings improper tire inflation and multiple other reasons.
What is a bad retread?
A bad retread is one that has not been processed properly in the retread factory. However, it is important to know that retreads are NOT the main cause of tire debris on our highways, even though many people believe they are. Tire debris (also known as rubber on the road & road alligators) is caused by improper tire maintenance, with the main culprit being under-inflation, closely followed by overloading, improper tire repairs, tires that are being driven with less than the legal amount of tread remaining, etc. Retreads are a very important of our nation's effort to save oil and are extremely environmentally friendly, as well as being very economical. They are safely used on school buses and city buses, fire engines and other emergency vehicles, commercial and military airlines, small package delivery services such as FED EX, UPS & DHL, as well as by the U.S. Postal Service, and by taxis and trucking fleets in both the private and public sectors. To blame retreads for tire debris on our highways is the same as blaming a vehicle for an accident caused by a drunk driver. The blame is simply misplaced.
