U have 3new tires for $110 a piece. And u have 4 new tires for $250 a piece how r they equivalent and if not how

with 3 tyres at $110.00 that equates to $36.60 a tyre so 4 tyres at the price would be $366.60 where as 4 tyres @ $250. each would be $1000 or 3 tyres @ $ 250 each would be $750. Get the price per tyre and adjust each quantity so that you are determining the same common denominator.

Dimension of wheel cover

Have a look at your tyres (tires, you may be American).
You should find some numbers and letters on the sidewall which are the measurements for the tires/tyres and hub.

Usually they are like this:
195/65 R15

The number after the R is the size of the hub in inches for your tyres/tires. This is the number you need for the wheel covers.


:-) Cheers!

Tire rotation hyundai accent

tyre rotation is from front to back on the same side of the vehicle . It is recommended by tyre shops as it is good for business ( 4 tyres instead of 2) The other down side to tyre rotation is that you do not get a good idea of wheel alignment problems to know what to fix. Next down side is that once a wear pattern has been established that pattern will continue because the tyres are radial construction
Front drive cars wear out the front tyres in 1/4 the time that it takes for back tyres and a faulty tyre will have a wear pattern that indicates wheel alignment/ driver abuse but in fact is from case construction.It is something that I have not recommended since radial tyres came into being.

2010 lexus has 6,000 miles on front tires. Started getting a thumping sound that begins at low speed and continues up to high speed and never goes away. I suspected a broken belt or rotors. Took to Lexus...

what you describe is a tyre problem, probably as you say belt separation
I would stay away from rotors at this point as they really will not give what you describe
you can try doing a tyre rotation and see if the problem goes from front to back
If it does then you will know that you need 2 new tyres
You can go to a tyre shop and have each wheel checked for a problem tyre on the balancer unit
if there is a case problem , it will not be able to be balanced easily
It is poor practice to run different brands of tyres as each tyre has its own handling characteristics and that will give you noise and control problems

I want to put 18" tyres on my 2008 C Class

The taller the tire, the more comfortable the ride. Low profile tires are meant to be stiff. There's also different quality tires, there's quieter tires, softer ones, etc... If you're drifting and damaging wheels and tires I understand, but if it's common to one rim, and you're driving appropriately, that rim might be bent.

Tire valve defects on pirelli tires - 5 flats in less than a year

tire valves are completely independant of the actual tire - is it the actual valves causing the flats? if so, i think either your shop is using poor quality valves (unlikely), or someone is messing around with your valves when your not looking. if i am way off here, please give me some more details on the flats you are getting.

Ned to check my tyres

Tires should be checked when cool. Set the pressure to the amount shown on the frame sticker. If you don't have the frame sticker a good pressure to use is betwen 30/33 and 33/35 psi. Some folks use the lower pressure in winter. Also, when tires are new they have a release compound residue that needs to be gradually scrubbed off with riding wear. It is slippery so if you ride really hard on new tires you might do some sliding.
