Best way to handle low tire pressure for my car?
My car had a low tire pressure warning light come on, but when I had the oil changed the next day, they put air in all the tires and the light went away. But now it is back, and after measuring the tire pressure in all 4 tires, I determined it was the front driver tire that was low. I inflated it a couple of PSIs above the recommended, but the warning light is still on. I measured the other 3 and they seem fine. I am know I have an issue with one of my tires since when I had the oil change the message went away, but not sure which tire it is anymore. Need help on how to handle this situation, I hate going to a tire place and acting ignorant. Should I still assume it is still that front driver tire (although I know it is over-inflated now), or is that dumb since I know that is the only tire that is over the recommended? Such a simple situation, but really hard to figure out… Thanks for your help.

I am half way to my destination which is 50 miles away. I was alone, no one to help nearby and sad to know that my spare tire is also a flat tire, no way to communicate for outside help. The next tire vulcanizing repair shop is 50 miles away. I wanted to reach my destination with my car.

Is it safe to mix different types of car tire?
I own a 4 year old Mini One. The previous owner had bought very expensive ‘puncture resistance’ tires. Supposedly they could run without air - albeit less efficiently.
The tread on my front left tire is almost completely worn. The standard tires are about half the price. As long as I fit the right size would it be safe to mix and match these?

How come all car tires are black?
Oh sure, I know there are a few white wall tires and maybe there was a colored car tire or 2 made sometime, somewhere, that’s not the point.
The point is, why don’t tire companies wise up and make colored tires?
There would be a huge, instant market for them. What punk kid wouldn’t want red tires to match his shiny red car? Even cheesy old geezers like myself would like them. I know they can be made because colored bicycle tires are quite common. Bicycle tires are high pressure, high performance tires, and they come in almost every color. Maybe colored tires would cost a bit more, who cares, why aren’t they available?
