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.

Rear brake frozen. Assuming you do not have a heat source, small heater to aim at it for a while. If not that, I would think you could use some windshield deicer. I assume you do not have disc brakes on the back. There should be an access plug on the back of the wheel plate. On the back side it is usually an oval rubber plug at the top or bottom, varies car to car. Spray the deicer in up or down and I would think this might do it. Depending on age of vechicle, the cable running to the brake may be the problem.

Can you replace 205 55 r16 with 225 40 r18?
205 x 55% = 112.75 = sidewall height
112.75 x 2 = 225.5 = 8.87795" + 16" (rim) = 24.87795 diameter
225 x 40% = 90 = sidewall height
90 x 2 = 180 = 7.08661" + 18" (rim) = 25.08661 diameter
As you can see, the diameter will be only 0.20866" larger, so I would say YES !
Can you substitute instead of 195 can you put on 205?
Yes, but if you go from, lets say, a 195/70-15 then go with a 205/65-15.

A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional?
In the UK the parking brake is called the handbrake, a motor vehicle must, by law, have at least two independent ways of applying the brakes. This is normally achieved on a car by having the foot brake hydraulically or, rarely, pneumatically operated and the hand brake cable operated.
Added: (in the US) you must also have an operational parking (or hand) brake.
In Canada, at least, (and I strongly suspect in USA and Australia) that is wrong. You DO require a parking brake as an emergency standby. The point is your regular brakes depend on hydraulic fluid and rubber seals, while the parking or emergency brake depends on cables. -A totally separate system.
You also need the parking brake when parking the vehicle on an incline. The transmission park pawl may break causing the vehicle to roll off if you have no parking brake.
Why does your truck idle goes up and down when you press down on the brakes?
Your brake master cylinder uses a vacuum assisted module to increase the hydraulic force on the brakes while reducing the amount of effort the driver has to put on the pedal.
When you press down on the brakes, it employs this vacuum-powered diaphragm which "borrows" vacuum from the intake manifold. This initially causes a drop in manifold vacuum and thus you see this with a slight drop in idle speed.
It's more pronounced on bigger engines, and prior to computer controls and fuel injection it was actually QUITE pronounced. Smaller engines with fuel injection and computer control do not see this byproduct as much.

Can you replace p255-r70-16 tires with p255-r75-16 tires?
Yes, the 75 has a taller sidewall than the 70. If the car has stiffer suspension it will give a feeling of sway the taller you get.
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. Your speedometer will be off and your ride and handling will suffer. If you must change sizes go with a 265/65-16 or 245/75-16. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.
