Tires Are the Backbone of Your Car
Tires are part of the backbone of a car, truck, piece of construction equipment or bicycle. Tires add traction, braking, steering and load support to vehicles while also absorbing shock and creating a smooth and comfortable ride. They are o-shaped parts that can be pneumatic or solid and fit around the wheels of the vehicle to protect the wheels and add to their effect. A solid tire consists of rubber, metals and plastic parts.
In the past tires have been made of steel and sometimes even iron and were placed on wooden wheels. They were used for carts and wagons. The steel or iron was melted in a fire so it could be easily molded onto the wooden wheel of the cart or wagon. As time has gone on the advancement of tires has done the same, becoming more developed and safer.
There are tons of different types of tires, all of them bringing different features to the table. There is the all-season, all-terrain, spare, run-flat, off-the-road and mud and road tires. All of these can be found on a variety of different vehicles. The most commonly used tire of that group is the spare tire. Each and every car that comes off of the lot has a spare tire. The spare tire is just what it says; a spare. The spare tire is used when one of the regular tires is flat due to a puncture. It is usually kept in a compartment in the trunk of each vehicle.
The all-terrain tire is mostly used on SUVs and trucks. The all-terrain tire helps trucks and SUVs drive through the woods, through mud or through any difficult terrain that the vehicle might encounter. These tires keep the vehicle from getting stuck in the mud or any other slop the environment will throw at it. These tires also have stiffer sidewalls to help prevent punctures to the tire when driving off-road.
The run-flat tire is one of the most interesting new inventions in the automotive world today. The run-flat tire helps drivers avoid pulling off the roadway to change tires because the vehicle can still run on the flat tire but for a limited distance and at a limited speed. This enables the driver to get the car to a safe area, not close to the roadway where injury could occur, and change the tire in a parking lot.
Tires also come in all different sizes. Tires need to be manufactured large enough for construction equipment and small enough for motorcycles. They are also used for airplanes and bicycles. Tires create a smooth ride for vehicles, eliminating the bumps that the road may cause. There is one problem with tires; if the car has a poor wheel alignment then the tires can wear down unevenly, which can lead to a tire bursting while driving. Always check the tires treads to make sure they are wearing down evenly on each side of the tread. If they aren't then the tires would need to be replaced very frequently.

Can i get smaller payments for finance on car?
i purchased a car last year on finance, i have had loads of problems with it, they didnt service the car before they handed it over to me, so it had no check, no MOT and best of all, they told me it was fine to drive home with no tax disk on it, (illegal!!) they also took almost a month to give me my cashback cheque, which i was supposed to recieve the next working day, and now, i have realised that the APR is %19 and the flat rate is 9.5%, i didnt realise how much this was costing me until i started working in accounts. Is this unacceptable? and do you think there is any way i can get the payments reduced?
All answers appreciated.
p.s. i know i was naive, but i was 18, hungover and dying to get my first car. Stupid Girl
First check your cooling of period on the contract to check if you can return it back, next check it there is any onbudsment procedure you can follow.
If nothing is possible, try to get a cheap loan from a different provider and pay this one off.
I.e if your banker is ready to give you a loan for 10% you save the extra 9% you pay to the current creditors.
