what are the best gloves to use to put on truck tire chains?
davessac asked:
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?

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.

Can you detect an unbalanced tire by sound?
Mike H asked:
Car sounds like it’s running on a flat tire, but all tires are inflated properly. Wanted to know if this can be caused by bad balance or is it sign of bigger problems (bearings?). Getting mixed information. Some people say bad balance will not make sound, others have said it will.

Any effect of running one slightly thinner tire than the other 3?
Drag_The_Waters asked:
My tires are 265/75/16. I have one that is badly warped and I need it replaced quick. The only one I’ve found right away is a 245/75/16…I drive a 4×4 SUV (full-size) and the tire that needs replaced is the front driver side. Will running a 20mm thinner tire pose any risk? I only need to drive 1500 miles before I will replace all 4. Thanks!
Well to me, 20mm difference is nothing. I wonder, visibly, if it will even be noticeable. I’m questioning whether it poses any danger risk or will potentially damage the other tires or mess up anything in the suspension, steering etc. I’m not an automotive expert and definitely not a tire expert.
I should also note the tire is a different brand, but like my current tires, is LT rated for mud and snow.
I do have a full-size spare as an option as well…I’m not sure of the exact size.
