Higher gas prices in Europe and eslewhere around the world aren't from OPEC dependancy or anything else, they're from higher taxes on the fuel being pumped into their cars. Their prices fluctuate wit

Normal ABS behavior. If you're on the brakes almost hard enough for lockup, but just not quite, they'll pulse lightly, on impending lock. They don't actually wait for the wheel to stop, but for one w

Pray tell, what does the speed rating have to do with tire wear???? Tread life is indicated by the treadwear number the manufacturer places on the sidewall, not not by the speed rating. The speed rat

Again, the speed rating is a measure of the carcass design, not the tread surface characterstics. Note the previous post from Jay Mitchell about Z-rated A032s. Tire temperature, for purposes of speed

Exactly! The discussion has been tread wear, and one of us feels that Z-rated means it would last longer, but the rest of us can't figure out quite why he feels that way. You, for one, are not a dumb

The truck treads you see laying around are not retread separations. Look carefully and you'll see belts, ply materials, etc. which are not part of a retread. What you see is real tire destruction, i.

Yes, it's just making sure the revs are where they would be if the gear was actually engaged, then the shifter just slides right in. It's very satisfying when it works. When you're off just a little
