'Some straight talk about Tires!'
The condition of your Tires and it's air pressure,
determine your Safety, your gas mileage, or what kind of day you will have!
Balancing and alignment will determine along with the air pressure how your tires will wear, and how long they will last.
(NBC said that for every pound of underinflation, there is a 2% loss of fuel economy!)
Make it a habit to have the tire pressure checked once a month. Even brand new tires loose air on a regular basis.
Best to check when the tire is cold.
Be sure, to take the advise of your tire person or mechanic.
"Runflats" new high tech tires that eliminate the good old spare tire are quietly being introduced. Runflats are tires with a "synthetic rubber insert in the tire's sidewall that makes it stiff enough to support the tire temporarily even when it loses all its air" as described by the Los Angeles Times.
It adds extra storage, reduces weight, saves fuel, and for some provides a "sense of security". Currently being introduced in sport cars and luxury models and cost 20% more and give a stiffer ride so in the 5 to 10 year projective growth "engineers will need to alter suspension designs to handle runflats."
Even when deflated the ride is so smooth, your car will have to warn you your tire is "technically" flat and must be fixed. So the great thing is that if you get a flat "out in the middle of nowhere" you can just keep on driving until you can get the tire safely fixed!
