Snow Tires
Snow tires are tires with a deep tread or studs to give extra traction on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. Snow tires are particularly designed to perform well in the slush, snow, and ice.
Due to their size, rubber compound, and tread design, standard tires provide improper grip for low-temperature snow driving. This is due to the fact that they are not explicitly designed for snow driving. By fitting snow tires during winter, car owners can improve the traction of any vehicle. The design changes in the snow tires have a significant effect on a vehicle's performance when driven on snow and ice.
The advantages of fitting a vehicle with snow tires are diverse and varied.
Snow tires give excellent grip in the rain and snow. By fitting their vehicles with a set of snow tires during winter, car owners will make it safer as these tires offer a magnificent ice and snow performance in addition to enhancing a vehicle's braking, handling, and cornering behavior...

The Toyo Tires Redline Time Attack, Presented By Hawk Performance Brake Pads, Races to the Clouds at The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Pikes Peak, CO (ContentDesk) April 25, 2006 -- The Toyo Tires REDLINE TIME ATTACK presented by Hawk Performance Brake pads will once again make history in an unprecedented time trial event that will test driver and car alike, with the first ever Redline Time Attack at Pike's Peak!
Joining forces with the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb, come July 1, 2006, Redline promises to bring the best in time trial action to the Peak's 2.8 mile paved section, in the first point-to-point tarmac-rally-style battle in Redline Time Attack's traditionally race-circuit-based time trial series. No race event in the world presents the unique challenges facing competitors at the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb. Since 1916, this historical event has been soaring over 4000 feet in altitude to the 14,100 foot summit and finish line, placing incredible demands not only on the vehicle, but also on the driver's ability to stay alert and focused despite breathing air thin enough to make seasoned...

Winter Car Care
As the weather turns colder, it is time to think about your car for a second. A little preparation can go a long way to making your winter travels a lot safer. Here is a checklist to get you started. 1. Check the antifreeze. The freezing point can be checked with a simple tool available at any auto parts store.
Make sure you check the antifreeze when it's cool. Opening a hot radiator can be a dangerous thing. 2. Check the air pressure in your tires. As the air gets cooler pressure drops in your tires. Maintaining your tire pressures will reward you with higher gas mileage and longer tire life.
3. Make sure you have the following items in your car.
- Ice Scraper
- Salt or sand for traction
- Blanket in case you are stranded and need to keep warm
- Good first aid kit (not just for winter)
- Road flares

Michelin Tires - Ramblings From a Fan
It was in 2002 that Edouard Michelin articulated the mission of the North American tire manufacturing company with impressive eloquence, while truly encapsulating the driving force behind the company for so many years.
Mr. Michelin stated, "We have one profession and one mission: contribute to long-term progress in the field of mobility."
The statement itself could at first glance appear slightly overly dramatic, until one considers, not only the importance of the field that Michelin Tires works within, but also the work and the advances the company has made.
Michelin Tires does research and development, production and sales in the different areas of: motorcycles, trucks, heavy-duty construction equipment, agricultural machines, aircrafts and, of course, cars.
This is quite a list for a company that has more public awareness dedicated to a plump albino than for putting years of innovation to ensure that airplanes can land safely...

Wheels and Tires
Wheels are the circular disks or rings on which automobile tires are mounted. Wheels work in synchronization with an axle. The tire is a rubber ring filled with air that fits around the wheel of a vehicle. The wheel and tires move together with axle that allows low friction in motion by rolling.
There are two types of tires that can be mounted on wheels: pneumatic and solid.
Pneumatic tires are air-filled tires. They have holes in the rim, which makes mounting of wheel on hub easier. Pneumatic tires are good for traction as they can be easily adjusted by changing the air pressure. The tire will have larger traction when you reduce the air pressure because the contact path with the floor will be larger. However, with the reduced wheel diameter, the speed reduces and the torque or the pushing power goes up.
Pneumatic tires invariably involve risk of puncture as a disadvantage. On the other hand, solid tires are made from solid rubber or plastic. They are very...
