How do you take out the part that mounts a spare tire?
Kay Williams asked:
I have a spare tire mounted under the bed of my truck, in between the two back tires (on a 2001 Dodge Dakota) and the piece to lower it rusted out and broke. Is there a way to remove the entire part that mounts it, and if so, what would I need to do that and how?

upnorthyukon asked:
Most of our driving is done on a haul road for mining, and it eats up tires. Does anyone have a similiar situation and have they found a good tire? Or does anyone know of a forum that specifically deals with tire questions? Thank you. The tire size is LT265/70 R17.

Are tire stores required to tell you if the tire you are buying is a blemished tire?
welovethedark asked:
I need information about “blems” or blemished tires. A family member bought new tires and did not know they were blemished. The tires ended up going out of balance really quickly. A family friend had the same experiece at the same tire store. The salesperson did not tell either my family member or our family friend that the tires were blemished. They both have to get new tires now. Is the tire store liable?

I have a Huffy “Ironman Triathlon Pro” 21 speed mountain bike that I got a few years ago. My back tire is pretty worn and I need to replace it.
I went online to browse bike tires and there are so many sizes and variations, can someone please tell me how to figure out what size tire I need? Is it as simple as measuring the wheel that it’s on?
Thank you!
why does air leak out of the valve stem of a tire when taking the cap off?
. asked:
You could hear a hissing noise of air coming out of the valve stem of a tire when removing the cap covering the valve stem. It’s the same thing that happens when you press on the valve stem a certain way to release extra air when adding air to tires, except with this tire I have, the cap is taken off and air comes out automatically. What could cause this? Could it be fixed?

What are your feelings on the whole Nitrogen tire movement?
Jacquot -Male Model asked:
My new vehicle tires all have the higher level of nitrogen than the normal tire. From what I’ve read, it may be a benefit, or it may be a gimmick.

What’s the difference in diameter between these 2 tire sizes?
Money M asked:
What’s the difference in diameter between a 205/55/15 tire/rim combination and a 205/40/17 tire/rim combination? I want to change rims and tires on a 2005 Toyota Celica from the former to the latter and want to make sure the 17 inch rims aren’t too big. 40’s are lower profiles than 55’s so would that compensate for the larger rim?

Why would a dealership only put one directional tire on a car?
Sandra Sarcasm asked:
I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX. I recently went to have two of my tires replaced only to find out that when I purchased my car (I purchased it used back in 2006), that the dealership had put only one directional tire on my vehicle. Turns out, I need to have the direction tire replaced as well.

Is there any reason why only one directional tire would be installed or did I just get hosed?
Can someone recommend a good winter tire that can also be used in summer?
Helrazr asked:
I live in South Dakota and frequently travel to North Dakota. We often have snow for 5 months out of the year or at least its very cold. I would not like to have to change tires twice a year but have better winter performance. I would like to know if any tires that are all season perform particularly well in the winter, or if there is a winter tire that is ok to use during the summer months where we top out about 90 degrees, but don’t get alot of rain.
