Used Tire
In the pages contained herein you will find boundless tire tidbits and extremely boring government drawl. Boring and important, as most boring things seem to be, this site will tell you all that you need to know when going out to purchase used tires for virtually any vehicle that you might have. You’ll also find a wealth of links and information regarding the disposal of tires; you can’t just dump them anywhere these days so it’s important to know where you can take them, and what’s being done with that little fee you pay to get rid of the buggers. You’ll also find some fun and creative ways to use those old tires if you’re feeling artsy… or just not wanting to pay the fee and need a place to put them!
Here is a picture with all the “proper” terms and markings found on tires. If you want to irritate some mechanic, ask him a bunch of questions about the tires, see if he really knows his stuff. Who knows you might be able to get some free work out of him if he gets it wrong! And remember… only you can prevent under inflation! Make sure to know what tire pressure you need, and check it every now and again. Under inflation will shorten the life of your tires! Manufacturers recommendations are there for a reason, heed their instruction.
