    Tire Pressure Sensors

    Thinking ahead to winter. When I mount my snow tires and rims with TPS, do I have to take the car to a dealer to reprogram the TPS system like my Corvette, or does the car automatically reprogram itself like my Grand Cherokee? ajn

    Tire Pressure "location" readings if tires are rotated ?

    I assume that if you rotate the tires, the tire pressure "location" readings will follow the tire. Anyone know for sure?

    2011 4.6 Excessive front tire wear

    I have a 2011 4.6 sedan with just under 23,000 miles. Unfortunately I have never performed tire rotation. I have maintained the recommended pressure in all 4 tires (easy with TPMS). Yesterday I discovered that the rear tires were at the wear bars on the inside. The front tires appeared to still...

    The Tire I want does not come in OE Size.......

    So, how much can I vary the size from a 235/45/19 Tire ? This would be for a 2014 R Spec. The Tire Size for the 2014 3.8 is 235/50/18 and the Tire I want is available in this Size. Would I have to buy Different Wheels or could I vary the Tire a Bit? What are the downsides to putting 18 inch...

    Wheel & Tire storage solution for cheap!

    I ran into a price worthy solution for wheel and tire storage for my garage. Currently, I store my Genesis in the winter, but my Outback and my wifes Optima have winter tires/wheels and the OEM wheels/tires, so I thought the Amazon link below was pretty nice for the price. I've looked at a few...

    Yet another tire question

    I've read every thread that mentions tires on this board, and haven't had my concerns assuaged yet with my specific questions. Please be forgiving, as I know that tires have been talked to death here (as evidenced by my last three days of reading all the posts). I have an '09 4.6 with the...

    Tire Issues - Problems, Longevity, etc.

    I have a 2012 Ultimate with Continental tires. The car was purchased late April 2012, and I currently have just under 25,000 miles on the clock, or about 1,400 miles per month. Today, I replaced a second rear tire. The first succumbed to an unrepairable sidewall puncture. The second had an...

    Tire spin?

    Have a few thousand clicks on my 2013 3.8 and was curious how much tire spin I'd get from a standing stop. Complete stop on dry, clean asphalt, gear shift in "D", ESC on as usual, then I punched the pedal. It gave a bit of a bog, just for a fraction of a second, and then started to pull. It...

    Looking for tire insights/experience

    I'm getting a LOT of vibration thru my steering wheel at the moment even though my wheels are balanced and tires have no run out. In assuming the OE Contis are defective I'm looking to potentially replace them even though I have 6-7/32" tread remaining. I know a great deal about tires, the...

    very excessive tire wear on one tire only

    13 r-spec...bought new and the car now has 7000 miles. I was planning on changing the oil (again) and rotating the tires this week. This morning my driver side rear tire was flat. I pull off the wheel and noticed a screw in the top of the tire. No big deal just have to add a plug. However, the...

    Blowout-- New Tire & Maybe a New Rim

    Major tire blowout and catastrophic damage. I may need a new rim too. Bummer. I hit a big rock in the highway last night that killed the tire instantly and put a small ding on the edge of the rim. The tire shop said that the opposite side, on the inside is bent slightly too. That could have...
