More on Vehicles... continued from post titled: ( Vehicles II ) Now. its time to talk about "Tires".... There are so many brands and so many factors to consider. Speed Rating Application Miles Hour KM Hour M 81 0 N 87 0 Temporary spare tires P 93 0 Q 99 0 Studless and studded winter tires R 96 0 Heavy duty light truck tires S 1 180 Family sedans and vans T 8 190 Family sedans and vans U 4 200 H0 210 Sport sedans and coupes V 9 240 Sport sedans, coupes and sports cars W 8 270 Exotic sports cars Y 186 300 Exotic sports cars Z 190+ 240+ Sports cars Then there is Thread Wear Ratings * (important) Heat Rating Load Ratings How does it perform on Dry Pavement, How does it perform on Wet or Show How does it perform for cornering How does it perform with "Noise' What is the "comfort rating" When Maintaining an Older Vehicle - Consider: "Shocks and Struts" | Motor Mounts | Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter | and check all key components. Brushes were in Alternators, Seals Go Bad in Air Conditioning Compressors, and Tie Rod Ends and Ball Joints each have a lifespan, and need to be changed. Go through the Manual and Learn about thing on the vehicle. Air Bags have a life span too !!! Consider what the average yearly maintenance is... especially as your car get older, and if its beyond original warranty... Depending on your economics, research, "Vehicle Maintenance Plans"... that can help with older vehicles, but there is a limit on age and miles when reviewing these plans. A recent study indicated: (from Car and Driver Americans Are Keeping Their Cars Longer and Longer The age of light-duty vehicles in the United States percent to an average of .5 years, according to a 20 survey by the U.S. Department of Transportation. survey, said the average pickup was .6 years old in 20 as compared to .2 in 20. Vans jumped to .9 years (up 24 percent), SUVs to 8.5 years (up 20 percent), and cars' average age increased to .3 years (up 8 percent). |

Paying significantly less for one-time sales taxes and less still on annual car payments for vehicle and insurance premiums required on new cars are even greater incentives for anyone to keep an older car running. Consider: A New Car at $40,000 on a car loan for 72 months (without considering interest on the loan), is: $555.55 a month | Then: there is Insurance Payments!!! In today's market... $40,000 will not get you the most premium vehicle with all the accessories. (Whether its a Domestic or Import Brand Vehicle)

How much do you research the things that keep your car safe and functional? Many people here have vehicles, but seem not to be willing to discuss what it takes to keep it running well and maintained to a quality standard... "why"? If they don't like talking about the things posted, then why not post subject that they think about?
