I am a truck driver and will be doing a lot of winter driving soon. I am looking for a good work glove to put on tire chains with. I have tried almost anything out there, and other than having to switch out my gloves every 15 minutes when they get wet, I am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?

Front driver side tire LOUDLY squeals like a squeaky door hinge when turning, bounced on, or driven over bumps; any slight movement really. Brakes are fine and quiet. The tiniest movement from the steering wheel causes the noise, which is clearly coming from behind the tire. I lubricated the area and checked the power steering fluid, but it’s still happening.

I drive a 1993 Honda Accord, and just recently my front left tire started to make a screeching sound when I would back up. Now the screeching happens when I back up as well as when I’m driving, but it stops when I break. The car doesn’t appear to have anything lose. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

The passenger rear tire locked up and when it was hit with a hammer it came undone. Any idea what would have caused this. I was told the van had sat for 2 months.

I just installed Goodyear Wrangler tires on all 4 wheels on my SUV. I heard that the same type of tire wears out the 4X4 drive system. Is this true?

It starts out with people going to a tire yard and getting a really big tire. Then it shows them driving somewhere with the large tire attached to the roof of the car. Finally, everybody jumps into the lake with the tire.

I tried youtube, but I need more specifics.

Kip S asked:


I need scrap lead and would like to scrounge it from junkyards, off of old wheels. If I get a wheel weight removal tool, can I remove the the weights without having to deflate the tires? Can I just walk up to a junk car and remove its weights? Or does the tire have to be off the rim?
