Why do tires squeal?
The tread is vibrating as it grips and releases when sliding rather than rolling over the road.
Do you think there is something wrong with my tires if i skid in any kind of weather conditions?
If your tires do not have enough tread left then they can skid easily because there are no edges of a tread to grip the road surface. It's the edges of the tread that actually grabs the road the best and not the flat rubber. If you have good tread then perhaps your car is over powered for the tires that you have. Check with your vehicles manufacturer as to the recommended tires. The best thing would be to talk to a tire shop. They could give you the best information.
How should you rotate your tires on rear wheel drive vehicle?
With unidirectional tread tires, LR switches with LF, and RR switches with RF. With omnidirectional tread tires, the rear wheels are transferred forwards and remain on their original side, while the front tire are crossed over to their opposite rear side.
Why do your tires make a humming noise and cause vibration?
The humming noise is dependant on the road surface/ tire tread and tire wear. If the tires are scalloped or feathered they will hum. Vibration may be a problem in your suspension or the balancing of one or more of your tires. You can run your hand over the tread (front to back and back to front) if it is wavy or the tread feels jagged/ sharper in 1 direction, you need suspension work and/or an alignment.
Why does my right rear tire sound like it had something stuck in it and it was getting kicked out?
Need more info. Cupped tires will cause a roaring noise like nasty four wheel drive tires going down the road. Your can identify cupped tires usually by standing at the rear of the car and alternating, your tread blocks will look, LIGHT, DARK, LIGHT, DARK ....most of the way around the tires. Either all the way across the face of the tread, sidewall to sidewall or maybe just on the inner or outer edge of tread. Could have something stuck in tire tread? I have pulled out spark plugs, pliers, animal bones........some weird stuff over the years that make strange noises! Good Luck.
How do lorries reduce the pressure on the ground?
Increase the number of wheels and/or increase the tread width of the tires or tracks, so that their weight is distributed over a larger area.
What is the legal minimum depth of tread for tires over three quarters of breadth?
It varies from state to state. In most states it is 2/32" but in some it is 3/32".
Why do bike tires need more air in summer?
Tires leak a little over time, so if you haven't ridden during winter you will need to inflate them in spring to compensate for what's been lost over winter.
Do you need to do a wheel alignment for winter tires if you have already done a wheel alignment on your regular tires?
it will change a little from tread height but typically no even low or over inflated tires can change align angles but if it does not pull to one side or cause irregular tire wear who cares.
How do the wide tires of tractors help them to move through muddy fields?
With wide tires, the weight of the tractor is distributed over more of the ground surface so because of that it doesn't sink into the dirt or mud as much compared to skinnier tires. Plus the tread design helps with traction.
What might happen to a person riding a bike if the air pressure in the two tires is not the same?
what might happen is that the bike will fall over because the bike is not equal air pressure so it will till or fall over because one side has to much air and the other one does
What does you are ready to tread mean?
Tread means walk or stomp over stuff.
