  1. :wtf: They are the highest selling manufacturer in the US and probably the world. Not gonna happen. These hiccups will barely put a chink in their armor. Toyota isnt going anywhere.

    I have to agree, Toyota isn't gonna go anywhere. They may have a slight decline in sales for a bit, but that will just be a small hiccup.

    Funny the attention to these recalls. Nobody even remotely seems to remember any of the US recalls.

    Like my truck for example... Cruise control and brake recalls. Both can lead to fire that can burn the truck to the ground. Gee, that sounds WAY better than a stuck pedal...

    Everyone's got them under a microscope due to the years of failures the US makers have created.

    ..

    What truck, when was this?

    Everyone remembers the Firestone tire blow outs and the Pinto fuel tanks so not everything gets forgotten. :D

  2. Triple Tread's FTW! I have them on my car, all the way around, and on the front of the wife's car. Unfortunately, they quit making them in the sizes that I need! I'm going to have get something else, or a different size that will be close enough to the same diameter.

    Just install a lift kit.:p

  3. Those are for pulling stalled cars off of main roads/bridges to get traffic moving again, the bike can get through the traffic, in front of the broken car and tow it off to a safe place to resume traffic. they're not for traveling with. just as an emergency car removal.

    Now that actually makes some sense. Where did you find this out?

  4. I have a 2003 Monte Carlo. My front tires wear alot fast then the rear tires. I dont have my tread gauge at my house (at my dad's) to give you specs, but it you can visually tell the rear tires had more tread. When this winter started, I had no traction with the "worn" tires on front.

    I rotated the worn tires to the rear and moved the more tread having tires to the front. Now I have traction and control. No problems with turns or changing lanes with the less tread tires in the back.

    I started with 4 new tires, but the front wore down faster then the rear tires due to front wheel drive, turning and braking.

    Currently have Cooper tires on the car now because i could not afford Goodyear. The prior set of tires were Goodyear Triple tread assurance. By far, the best tires I ever had on the car but were kinda pricey.

    That why you are supposed to rotate them every 6k miles, or about every other 3k oil change. This way they all will wear more evenly.

  5. Best treads go on the drive axle. You want traction where the power turns the wheels. If you have the best tires on a front wheel drive car, the rear end is not just gonna come around the front on a on ramp, if it does you are going way too fast.

    Having 4 tires all be the same tread and tread depth is best but not necessary. You do want to have the relative same tread pattern and tread depth PER axle, meaning front and rear.

    I did tires for a major tire company for a little while, and now work with jporter doing auto repair and some tires.
