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.

First some background: Bustle wheels are used in offset printing. When a paper web goes through several units in order to create full, or process, color; the paper web takes on water from each printing unit. This in turn causes the paper web to stretch along with the printed image. This in turn causes problems with registration, or lining up of the colors, from printing unit to printing unit. Enter bustle wheels. There are several types of bustle wheels: standard, air assist, mechanical, and several combinations of the first three. They all serve the same purpose. Printers using bustle wheels will use anywhere from one to three wheels to get the desired effect. One wheel is mounted in the middle of the web, creating pressure against it and drawing it inward. This is where the word bustle comes in. You are pulling the paper inward, or bustling it, to compensate for the web growth of the previous units. Sometimes this is enough to compensate for the web growth that caused the fan out. Other times three wheels will be used if one isn't enough. One will be in the middle, the other two will be near the extreme ends. Chris Kempf - 2009
Why do the tanks have chains on its wheels?
The added surface area allows for more traction and less sinking of the vehicle when in mud or sand.
What causes a front tire to tear apart?
The most probable cause of a front tire starting to tear itself apart would be from uneven wear. I recommend that you have a front-end alignment performed, and replace both front tires.
The next most common reason would be that the tires are out of balance; have the new tires properly balanced when installed.
If you hit a pothole, it's possible that the pothole caused both of these problems, and may have damaged the tire at that time.

How do i replace front wheel bearings on a Saab 9000 turbo?
Hi, I am now answering my own question after repairing the car myself. First order in replacment bearings makimng sure the correct ones are orderd (I kept being sent rear or front bearings for a 900 turbo earlier model). The new bearings are one piece incorporating the bearing, mounting bracket and hub assembly and being so are quite expensive ($220 Australian dollars each).
First loosen the wheel nuts and also the driveshaft retaining bolt then jack up the front of the car and remove the road wheel. Then remove the two mounting bolts holding the caliper assembly from steering knuckle, move caliper unit away from working area and support with a bit of wire carfully not to strain the rubber brake line.
Next undo the two nuts and bolts securing the steering knuckle to the suspension strut, once removed pull steering knuckle down to gain better access to the Allen key (hex head) bolts retaing the wheel bearing to the steering knuckle (you will need a 10mm Allen key (hex key) to remove the four bolts.
The disc brake rotor will come of with the bearing assembly, remove disc brake rotor by removing small star shaped bolts.
Assembly is the reversal of the removal procedure ensuring the Allen key bolts are replaced using a little locktite or other thread glue and ensuring drive shaft centre bolt is done up very tightly once car is back on the ground.
Hope this helps anyone else. Cheers Gav

Very rare. The quality controls in place at modern tire factories are such today that a defective tire is a very rare occurrence. Tire beads are very strong and it is hard to damage one to the point that is will cause a blowout. The most common cause of a blowout is an under-inflated tire especially if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or traveling at a high rate of speed. Of course a road hazard can cause a blowout but that too is uncommon.
