Brakes and Tires
Vehicles require brakes and tires to be steered and controlled. Tires allow better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion to absorb the shock, while brakes control the spin of the tires, thus controlling the speed of the vehicle.

What is differences between mechanical and hydraulic brakes?
mechanical and hydraulic are two different power transmission medium.
in mechanical brakes solid links or levers are used to achieve the required braking.
in hydraulic brakes there are no links, here the braking is achieved by the hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic system in which the force applied at the brake pedal is multiplied several times to achieve the requied braking.
Well before pneumatic tires were invented, tires made of wood or iron were fitted to stone, wooden or metal wheels to make them last longer. If you don't have a separate tire, the whole wheel has to be replaced when its outside edges get chipped and worn away. So it is probable that tires were invented soon after wheels because the people who invented wheels soon found out it was a good idea to have tires on them which could be replaced when they wore out.
What type of tax is a disposal fee for old tires that is paid when new tires are purchase?
This is called an indirect tax because the fee is not paid on the new purchase but has the same effect as if it were.

What is the average motorcycle tire size?
The size of motorcycle tires is measured in the width, height and depth. The width is the distance between two parallel lines that are perpendicular to each other. It can be measured with a ruler or by measuring the diameter of the tire from one edge to another.
The height is how high a wheel will reach above ground level when it's mounted on a bike frame. This measurement does not include any suspension parts like forks or shocks which are used to increase ground clearance for off-road use.
The depth is how deep a wheel will go into its frame when mounted on a bike frame and includes any extra space taken up by its suspension parts like forks or shocks.
For example: If you want your bike's front wheel to reach over 6 inches above ground level when it's mounted on your bike, then you would need to buy 4 inch wide wheels (2" x 2"). If you want your bike's front wheel to reach 12 inches above ground level when it's mounted on your bike, then you would need too buy 5 inch wide wheels (2" x 3"). If you want your bike's front wheel to reach 18 inches above ground level when it's mounted on your bike, then you would need too buy 6 inch wide wheels (2" x 4").
I hope this answers all of your questions! Thanks for reading!

Can your Chevrolet s10 use size 14 or 15 tires?
Yes, you can use 14" or 15" tires/wheels. Just try to keep the overall diameter of the tire/wheel combo as close to the OEM tire/wheel diameter as possible. Otherwise your speedometer will be inaccurate and performance/handling can suffer.

Stupid answer from a stupid person
No, of course you cannot put a 14 inch on a 16 inch wheel. They have to match.

Only if the pads are worn so badly that they have cut a deep groove in the rotor. Small grooves are fine, rotors just need to be turned (shaved) to make them smooth again.
