Other articles covered "The History of Muck Boots," (they must wear muck boots over at the National Enquirer), "Why Men Love Knives," (I learned there's more to a Man's knife than cleaning his fingernails) and "You Want Fries With Those Eyes?" a real eye opener.

Profile - The sidewall height is represented as a percentage of the width so a 195/70 R14 means that the sidewall or profile height of the tire is 70 percent of the width. Often the profile is not mentioned and that normally means that the tire is a standard 82 or so percent. Never assume though as this is a common misunderstanding that can occur when buying used tire shop open near me . There is nothing worse than buying something that simply does not fit - ask the person selling the tire to read you all the numbers on the sidewall to make sure!
Drivers tend to love or hate the run flat tires. I fall firmly in the hate department. Driving a Mini is all about speeding up when going around corners. The run flat tires feel like you are driving on something unstable that is often described as marbles. Even worse, these babies cost a pretty penny. You can easily end up spending $1,000 to $1,300 at a tire store getting replacements. That's a lot of mulla for a $25,000 car.
We made it into Morarity, NM. The stations were all closed and it was hard to find any one that had a tire for sale. We stayed again in a truck stop parking lot, and I cooked supper in the camper.

The spare we had put on was chipping off tread and so he changed that one again and put another tire on the spare rim. So, we are off again.
Unless your owner's manual says otherwise, you should rotate your tires every 6,000 miles. Make sure to keep a log of your mileage every time they are rotated. If you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, your front tires will wear faster because they do all the breaking and steering (and spinning out, if you're a rebel).
