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.

Why would the brakes be vibrating under your foot when pressed?
Sometimes, it can simply be that you have unevenly worn your rotors. Some people have been mislead to believe that when you have ABS, that you do not need to gradually use the brake pedal to stop. Instead, they are told to apply 1 strong push to the pedal to stop, supposedly allowing the ABS to do the rest. Actually, even with an ABS system, you stop the same as if you didn't have it. Constantly stopping "hard" can put uneven wear on the rotor, causing a "bumping" feeling in the pedal when you brake, even though the pads are good. You can have the rotors checked, and turned if they have never been turned before (smoothed out).
This can be caused by a warped rotor, which occurs from sudden amounts of heat (hard braking) when u have your rotors checked also look at your pads, they most likely will be glazed, cauzing them to just ride the warp, as opposed to biting into it -
How do you replace a stuck wheel stud?
There are several methods to remove a frozen bolt or stud.
The first and easiest method is to apply a penetrant (not a lubricant) and let it soak, overnight if necessary - something like PB Blaster is excellent, and will work much better than the more popular WD-40.
If you don't have the patience for penetrants, you can try applying heat to the wheel hub with a torch. Propane will be OK, but MAPP gas is hotter and will therefore work better. Don't apply the heat to the stud, as that will expand it tighter into the hole. You want to heat the hub so the hole gets larger, freeing the stud for removal.
If the stud is still stuck and the hub must remain on the car, you can try a deadblow hammer or mallet, with several nuts turned onto the stud to protect the threads and to maximize the area you can strike with the mallet.
Lastly, you will have to remove the hub if nothing else has worked and use a shop press to press out the stud.
Good luck!

How do you replace brake calipers on 1992 Mercury Topaz?
After the tire has been removed, this process is rather simple. You need to remove the hoses feeding brake fluid to the caliper. You will also need a hex key to remove the two to four bolts holding the caliper on. Once this is done, attach the hoses and/or lines to the new caliper, put the brake pads back on, slide over the rotor, and reattach with the two hex bolts. Be sure to add enough fluid and bleed the brake system before driving.

Can you go from P21570R15 tire to a P22570R15 tire?
In most cases, yes. The 225 will be slightly wider and, because the 70 tells you that the tire side is 70 percent as high as the tire is wide, it will also be slighty taller. Never the less, in most cases the difference in tire size this small can easily be accomodated by most cars or small trucks.
