What is the difference between new car tyres and old car tyres?
Karnawatpp
New car tires are specially formulated and tested, and often are optimized for certain conditions. One example is the fact that snow tires are meant to be driven in snow, and as such they have better wet grip in corners, as well as better stopping in wet conditions. The amount of refining that goes into a car tire is staggering. Tires overall are more durable than before, but they still wear out.
Old car tires, apart from being old, usually weren't as specialized. They were more of an all season tire, which was a balance of wet grip and dry durability. But old car tires are junk after a few years, as they crack, the sidewalls can rot, or they can start to peel apart.
If you were talking about rims, what you mount the tires on, the same thing goes. New rims are specialized just like the tires. A pair of racing rims will be far lighter than a pair of heavy duty off road tires, because of the alloys and construction used. Older rims are much the same, but they can be damaged, or they can rust. Older rims also weigh more, because much of the metals that we use now in rims to make them light were either ridiculously expensive or not invented.

Why do motorists waste fuel if their car tires are under inflated?

Does new tires change alignment settings?
No. New tires does not change alignment settings as alignment settings done with tie rods, camber and caster bolts and not affecetd after tyre changing. Yaa But it should taken under consideration that after changing tyres its better to check alignment because there can be little change in alignment readings due to difference in tyres depths of old and new tyres. New tyres change balancing settings so wheel balincing is must check after changing tyres.

Why would a car wobble at low speeds not the car but the steering wheel?
AnswerCheck the tread on your tyres and if they are worn on only one side your car needs a wheel alignment. I had the same problem with a shaky wheel and after getting new tyres (i needed them) and a wheel alignment the car wheel never shuddered again. I was told I must hit the curb a lot
How does friction effect a car in motion?
Friction can have many effects on a moving car. It depends on the situation under discussion. If the tyres are brand new, more friction will be experienced as the grooves of the tyres will interlock with the surface of the road. But when the tyres are wearing away, their surface becomes relatively smooth. Friction will not have as great an effect. If the road is layered with snow, friction will be minimal and the car will move with great velocity . . . uncontrollably. This is why a car skids on an icy road. Where friction prevents a fast driver to reveal his real potential on the highway, it also helps him apply brakes. It is friction which assists the tyres to stop moving .
Is it better to get front tires or back tires when you cant afford all four?
It is recommended my many tyre manufacturers to have new tyres fitted to the rear of your car. the reason for this is simple, if you loose grip on the front of your car you can regain control by straitening your steering lifting off the brake or accelerator pedal etc. If you loose control of the rear of your car you will spin out with no way of regaining control. so, put new tyres on the rear of your car
Why do new automobile tires have deep grooves?
It is because there must be a friction between the tyres of an automobile and the road.it is for the same reason that special kinds of grooves are made in tyres so that they offer the required amount of friction.
