Everything in your car—including its ability to stop, avoid road debris, handle wet surfaces and reduce road noise—rides on the quality of the tires. They are the lowest common denominator in vehicle safety.
“The contact point on any given tire is about the size of your palm,” said Dan Zielinski, vice president of communications at the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association. “It is a critical piece of safety equipment for your car.”

Automatic transmissions have made operating a motor vehicle safe and more convenient. Drivers no longer need to struggle through gear changes common in “manual” transmissions.
Yet, “automatic” does not mean “maintenance free.” How can you help keep your vehicle’s automatic transmission operating properly and prevent expensive breakdowns?

Drivers spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on fancy aftermarket wheels, rims and spokes. But daily driving—especially in extreme weather conditions—can wreak havoc on the look and potentially the safety of the wheel.

A few months from now Captain Lee Millar will polish his saber and spin the cylinder on his Starr pistol. He will wiggle into an old military uniform that’s been hanging at the back of his closet.
The Captain will adjust the lapels of his gray jacket and don the accoutrements of war. His destination is some two hours drive east of his Memphis home. There, in the Tennessee hinterlands near weathered tombstones, Millar and thousands of brethren from re-enactment groups such as the 51st Tennessee Infantry intend to occupy Shiloh.

Tires are easy to forget until they go flat or your vehicle slides into a stop when you push the brake pedal.
How does tread design affect your driving and safety? And what kind of tread should you use for your driving environment?
"A tire is a complex composite structure with fabric and steel components,” said Jim Davis, spokesperson for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. “There are countless variations as these many components are tweaked, depending upon the intended performance features to emphasize in each product.”

You’re walking out of the mall carrying packages in both arms. Your vehicle is one-half mile away. Can your smartphone help make life safer and more convenient?
Absolutely.
