Wheel Alignment and Balancing

If the outside diameter changes, then the speedometer will change

Depends on application: off-road, touring, mud & sleet, snow, etc.: America's Tire, or Discount Tires

Why? Because the replacement warranty and availability is one of the best if not theee best. Just 1 person's opinion who use to work in the auto industry & owned many different vehicles from small cars to off-road 4WDs. Good luck!

yes with a 45 series tire but you also have to reprogram your speedometer

You could, but it would be more accurate with new tires.

One should get wheel alignment after you start feeling some vibration.

Hitting something like a pot hole or a curb. anything that jars the wheels of the car. Or just normal wear and tear. alignment is recommended at least once every two years regardless of hitting anything.

4 of the lugs will but the 5th one wont go

Possible bent rim or tire out of round.(defective) answer tire out of balance is the best place and cheapest place to start

88, 91, ... is regarding max. weight load (88 aprox. 570kg, 91 aprox. 620kg ; higher is better) ;

H , V and T are regarding to max. speed - V is about 230km/h ; H is about 200KM/h; T is about 190km/h, and so on.

There are two main differences between a front and rear motorcycle tire. The rear tire is flatter while the front tire is more triangular in shape. The triangle shape of the front tire helps the bike enter and exit turns while the flatter shape of the rear tire gives the bike more stability. The second difference is that the forces generated on the rear vs. the front tire are reversed. The rear tire is subjected to acceleration forces while the front tire is subjected to the majority of the braking forces therefore the inner lacing of the tires are set up reversed.

That said, you can run a rear tire on the front if you reverse it so the rotational arrow is backwards. Do not attempt to run a front tire on the rear. You will lose the stabilizing effects of the rear tire and the tire will also wear out much faster since it doesn't have as much tread to start with.

You should usually stick with what the bike came with originally. Although radials have numerous advantages, the bias ply tend to have more rigid sidewalls, and with the weight of your bike, you might need the rigidity, less you get a slightly squirly situation. You might not get the great lean angles that bikes equipped with radials get due to the contact patch and traction, but bikes equipped with radials have these excessive lean angles planned during design and construction. Whatever you do DON'T MIX BIAS WITH RADIALS. you've got two tires with different characteristics, and every manufacturer will say it's iffy at best. Many manufacturers have great bias and radial tires, and your best bet is, you get what you pay for with tires. If you equip cheap tires your tires will transmit this to you, if you put more premium grade tires, you'll have a better ride. Keep your tire pressure up, if you're running 20lbs like these wannabe rossi's are trying to do on their cheng shins and F2's you're gonna get into an accident. Keep it up, especially on a touring bike, I run 38-40 in front and 40 rear, hot, cold, fast, slow, my tires last a while, the bike handles crisp, and I have never had a problem with traction in any situation that didn't deal with my own miscalculations. Yes, I've ridden Rain, Snow, Sleet, Shine and 115 degree days. Other than keeping good tires, work on being smooth, smooth is fast and fast is smooth.

It's the upper strut bushings. It probably will gwt worse when it's cold.

No it isn't because it means something has gone wrong with your car.

For best fit, use a 235/30/22. No rub either. And wider or bigger, you will need a lift.

usually, yes, considering that taller tires and/or bigger wheels weigh more and require more power to spin. the fact that one full spin of the wheel covers a fractionally larger distance due to higher circumference of the tire partially compensates for it. but only partially.

Any decent alignment shop or place that sells and installs tires can remove the wheel, remove the tire, and check the wheel to see if it is bent. If it is bent very badly, just jacking up that wheel and spinning it by hand, you can see that it is bent.

It is appropriate to place 15 inch tire on a Mitsubishi Lancer. The tires can be high or low profile. A mechanic may had to make a slight speedometer adjustment.

Uneven tire wear with spots is usually caused by bad shock absorbers or struts. If the car or truck bounces too much while driving down the road it makes bald spots on the tires.

You have a real problem that requires professional help. the car has to be put up on a lift and examined. it could be ball joints l tires, front end alignment and the list goes on. it is a very dangerous situatiion and you should receive immediate help.

cross X-pattern diagonally across the car

any tire if hanged free from it's middle point in it's geometric centre freely it will show that there is a side of it a little bit heavier sometimes not always even with a brand new tire ,to solve this uneven balance we have to put a counter balance in the opposite point to the heavier one ,this is a static balance. When you rotate the tire with a fixed speed the unbalance will cause the tire to be shaking so we have to put a counter weight opposite to the extra weight which causes the unbalance ( this is called dynamic balance and should be done using a balancing machine.

Unless you are having tire wear problems or the vehicle pulls to one side, you should only need an alignment check when buying new tires.

Bald tires are not particularly dangerous when the road is dry. In fact, slicks (treadless tires) are used in racing because they provide greater contact with the dry road. The danger comes from hydroplaning on wet roads. Without tread grooves to channel water out from between the rubber and the road the tire has no traction and your car spins out of control.

The numbers can say several things. What you mainly care about is rim and diameter size. EX. 16x8 rim the rim has diameter of 16 and the rim width is 8 inches. If it has other numbers then it has to do with back spacing and it is usually in millimeters. Does this help any?

Out of alignment. Have the alignment checked. Could be a broken tire or an allignment problem, if its the tire rod your tire will move easily when jacked up and off the ground this is bad and could result in your tire falling off... ouch WRONG WRONG WRONG... ITS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT ADJUST THE CASTER OR CAMBER...YOU NEED TO BUY A KIT...AND THEN GET IT ALIGNED...
