Are wider tires better than narrow tires?

Wider tires give better traction, esp in less than perfect conditions.

Narrow tires would give better speed and/or gas mileage.

One might think that but not necessarily, it depends on the road surface. Why do ice skates have thin blades? What do you think a wide racing tire would do on a flooded street? Even in dry conditions, a wider tire won't change your traction because even if you have more area (square inches) on the ground, you have less weight per square inch so traction remains the same. How soft the tire is is the biggest factor.

How do you check to see if engine is firing?

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo wont start just clicks?

1st: Clean & tighten all battery connections-start by removing the negative (ground) cable and clean both negative(black) and positive(red), then ensure a tight fit.

2nd: If you're sure the battery is charged and the fittings are tight and still have the "clicking" just look at the starter connections and make sure all connections are clean & tight.

3rd: If the problem still exists the starter solenoid may be defective however, you should do a thorough process of elimination using a manual to pinpoint the problem to make sure you don't miss anything.(these are simple guidelines for a quick & possible remedy)
