Natalie Neff and her Fiesta survive a roque tire
2009-06-15 12:44:00 Natalie Neff, an up-and-coming editor at AutoWeek, was almost killed by a runaway tire. The tire came off an old Cutlass traveling in the opposite direction, took a bounce, and came down on top of the Fiesta she was test driving at approx. 75 miles per hour. Thanks to fate and the Fiesta's boron steel windshield frame, she survived and walked away from the incident. Read her article about it here: http://www.autoweek.com/article-/20090610/CARNEWS/906109990&nbs-p; There remains the question of how a tire came off the Cutlass. Presumably the owner was ticketed... presumably the tire was improperly torqued or was worn out. Kudos to Ford for the new Ford Fiesta. This car clearly isn't some cheap little econo-box. It's a very well designed car, high quality, and carefully executed. This, and the upcoming new Focus, demonstrate what the Europeans have been telling us for years: that quality, luxury, and driving dynamics can be had in small cars. These ...

Why Can't They Make a Bicycle Tire That Holds Air?
2009-04-15 21:25:00 I have a simple question - why can't they make a bicycle tire that holds air? My car tires manage to stay at the proper pressure for months at a time, but my bike tires need air every week or two. And not just my new bike, but every bike I've ever owned. What's up with that?
New Tire Technology Could Provide Real Time Data While You Drive
2009-02-09 14:30:00 Your tires are the only contact point between you and the road. While this is a simple fact of driving, many people seem to forget that the entire weight of the vehicle rests on 4 small patches of rubber, and depending on how and where you are driving, those tiny contact points can change quite a bit. A partnership between Magneti Marelli, Brembo and Pirelli has recently formed to conquer these changes and provide the driver with real time information about how the tires are behaving on the road.
Tire Pressure
2009-01-30 22:44:00 Radial tires always appear flat when they are inflated to their normal pressure. Using a higher pressure will reduce rolling friction, hence better mpg.

New Tire Technology May Provide More Safety For Our Troops
2008-11-29 02:23:00 In everyday driving scenarios, your tires are among the 3 or 4 most important safety features your vehicle has. Looking at them as a safety feature may seem a little bit of a stretch, but when it comes right down to it they are the only contact between yourself and the pavement. If you move out of the everyday and go to a combat zone, tires could mean the difference between life and death. For this reason, a new kind of tire has been developed for the US Military that could help bring more of our men and women home.

In the tire tracks of a Legend: BMW 328 at the Milla Miglia
2008-05-18 00:00:00 Click on the picture to enlarge Munich/Brescia. It was 70 years ago that BMW first entered its 328 model in the Mille Miglia. For this year's anniversary appearance, BMW will be following the historic example by deploying four of these legendary roadsters in the event. Joining them will be the BMW 328 Berlin-Rom racing variant from 1941 as well as a BMW 327 Convertible and a 327/28 Coupé. With nine private teams entering, a total of 16 BMW cars will be lining up in Brescia for the start of the 2008 Mille Miglia. For the first time this year, BMW's heritage division will be debuting under its new designation BMW Classic. "Taking part in such a tradition-rich event with our new name is very special for us," said the Director of BMW Classic, Karl Baumer. "And the fact that we will be on the road exactly 70 years after the first BMW 328 lends extra appeal to the race," he added. But the achievements of those historic forerunners are unlikely to be surpassed: 70 years ago the teams ...

Don't Buy Another Tire Til You Read This
2008-05-08 13:00:00 I recently blogged about my troubles with my 2005 Honda Odyssey here and here. I was talking to a friend the other day about tires, and she thought that when your tire goes bad, you just go to your nearest tire shop or car dealer....bad idea.You'd think that with all the surfing we do online, that we'd all know better. I'll admit, I used to think along those lines too before my own saga. But these days, in the interest of saving money and making wise decisions, you do have some options, provided you have some time.When you are looking to buy a tire, call around locally and compare the cost of the tire installed...not just the price of the tire itself. Give them the make, model and year of your car. Or you can look at the inside of your car door. The tire size is listed there. Some shops inflate the price of the tire and others the cost of installation, so you need to compare the whole shebang...apples to apples.Look on the internet. There are many discount tire shops out ...

WHAT SHOULD MY TIRE PRESSURE BE?
2008-04-23 07:53:00 We all have heard that you can get better gas mileage by keeping the tires on your ride at the recommended air pressure. But, if you are like me, tire pressure checking just doesn’t get done very often during winter weather. Now that spring is providing us with some nicer days, it is time to keep the pressure up. Try remembering to check your tires every time the price of gas jumps up. Well, maybe not that often. How about once a month on the day the mortgage or rent payment is due. The problem is compressed air tries to leak out all the time. Most tires hold their air in pretty well, but many do leak some. Over time, the pressure will get lower than it should be. Driving on tire that has low pressure is like driving up and out of a pothole continuously. That uses more gas than needed and wears out your tires quickly. Both waste your money. Low tire pressure makes your car or truck more expensive to drive. You need to fix air leaks in your tires to save money at th...

B2B Marketers Should Embrace "Tire Kickers"
2008-04-17 06:28:00 Should marketers avoid paying for prospects who are early in the buying process and not ready to submit personal information or be contacted by a sales person? Should these "tire kickers" be avoided so that marketers can focus their attention on generating more valuable, sales-ready leads? While this approach may seem logical at first, I believe it is short-sighted and ultimately leaves a lot of money on the table.Early-buying-phase searchersOne of the biggest challenges I've experienced working with B2B marketers is overcoming their belief that if a searcher doesn't immediately register, sign-up, download, or complete a Contact Us form - then the prospect is not valuable and not worth the effort or the price of the click.Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. I believe there is huge value in utilizing search marketing to reach prospects early and frequently throughout the entire buying cycle - including the very first stages. Getting in front of prospects early allows...

Goodyear's New Tire For The Moon
2008-04-13 13:01:00 Goodyear recently reinventing the tire for the moon. The non pneumatic tire featured in the picture above is a prototype model developed by Goodyear for use first on the moon and eventually on Mars. Using the 1960s Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle?s (LRV) wire mesh moon tire as a base, Goodyear has been working with NASA to improve the original design.The original LRV tire that was woven out of piano wire, worked very well with each tire required to support about 60 pounds of weight (everything weighs 6-times less on the moon than on Earth) and be used for a maximum of 75 miles. However, NASA?s new fleet of lunar vehicles will require tires to support about 10 times the weight and last for up to 100 times the distance.- Stumble it! - Digg it - del.icio.us - reddit - Propeller -
