Are THESE Hankook tires the real stars of Formula E?
Просмотров 1557 часов назад
There’s no better place to find out how a tire performs than up close and personal on the track, which is why Hankook Tire, as the official technical partner and tire supplier of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the official sponsor of the races happening this weekend at the Portland International Speedway, to watch their product perform at the highest level of electric vehicle raci...
Three ways to look for compatible TPMS sensors and tools
Просмотров 979 часов назад
Since the first single SKU programmable sensor came to the market in 2012, many sensor manufacturers have introduced different branded or white-label single SKU programmable sensors. Why, you may ask? Well, these sensors allow technicians to cover 99% of vehicles with only one part and provide benefits like sensor ID cloning, future vehicle coverage and reprogramming capabilities. With this in ...
How last-mile delivery tires are providing a boost to the tire market
Просмотров 7619 часов назад
We all love the convenience of online shopping. Since the start of the pandemic, there’s been an uptick in the last-mile delivery market that hasn’t seemed to slow down since. The surge in two-day, next-day, and overnight shipping has brought even more demand for last-mile delivery, or LMD, tires, which has been seeing a decade of sales growth already, even before the pandemic. Let’s talk about...
The good news about the industry’s technician shortage
Просмотров 14319 часов назад
Alright everyone - it’s time to rip the band-aid off and tell you some bad news about the technician shortage. Over the next five years, the automotive repair and service industry is expected to face a significant shortage of technicians, with a projected deficit too large to meet the demand for vehicle maintenance and repairs of everyday drivers. However, it’s not all bad news. Let’s review so...
How Kumho’s Crugen HP71 EV tire handles the demands of an EV SUV
Просмотров 17814 дней назад
One concern many EV owners have is how often they replace their tires. EVs tend to be heavier, because of the weight of the battery packs, which can increase how fast tires wear out. Consumers don’t want to replace tires more than usual. That's why we equipped an Audi Q4 eTron with Kumho’s Crugen HP71 EV tire. You’d be surprised what a huge difference EV tires make. For example, the Audi Q4 eTr...

Imagine this: you’re driving down a winding yet beautiful road - the sun is shining, music is blasting. You look down and realize you have less than a quarter of a tank of gas left…it’s time to make a decision - do you take the next exit, or test the fates and wait it out a little longer to capture more of this moment. If you wait, you may find yourself stuck in the middle of the road, with no ...

The future of TPMS technology
Просмотров 32614 дней назад
If you’ve done a lot of tire changes throughout the years, you’ve also likely done a ton of TPMS replacement and relearns. Currently, TPMS technology relies on radio waves to transmit data. While this is standard, unfortunately, it means the radio spectrum the sensors use can be “noisy” with other nearby devices causing interference. It’s like someone interrupting you mid-sentence. However, Blu...

Will AI-powered virtual sensors transform tire maintenance?
Просмотров 21521 день назад
Take a look at the next vehicle that rolls into one of your bays. If it was manufactured in the past 5-10 years, I'm willing to bet you'll be able to pick out a sensor or two staring back at you rather quickly. However, there's a significant gap in this technology when it comes to the tires. Sure, TPMS certainly prevalent and helpful, but it fails to alert the driver to attributes like tread de...
How to handle false ADAS activation
Просмотров 13021 день назад
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have evolved from active cruise control to autonomous driving controls since these features first came to the market in 2006. If you’re the age of the average driver, 47, you’ve seen a lot of changes to multiple technology systems within your vehicle. One thing that has remained consistent through the years is that customers complain that the vehicle or...
Navigating the challenges of performing alignments
Просмотров 14328 дней назад
What is stopping you from doing more alignments? Let me guess, it's a combination of factors like billable time, equipment and market rates for alignments. Essentially, you are struggling to generate profit from alignments, try to stay competitive with pricing and have outdated alignment equipment that just makes the issue worse. Let’s talk about how to dig yourself out of this alignment hole.
The benefits of regular TPMS checks
Просмотров 132Месяц назад
We all know that tire pressure monitoring systems, or TPMS, are all about the safety of the driver. Properly inflated tires provide stability, handling and braking distance, but there’s another feature that can’t be overlooked - fuel savings. Let’s discuss how TPMS checks can help save fuel for your customers.
What tire wear can tell you about ride control
Просмотров 406Месяц назад
Tire wear patterns can tell you a lot about the condition of a vehicle's suspension and ride control components. By closely examining a customer's tire wear, you can often pinpoint issues before they lead to more serious problems down the road. Let's go over some common tire wear conditions and what they could indicate regarding the vehicle's ride-control components' health.

    Just ordered a set today, recommended by Discount Tire in Lumberton NC. Receiving the 275/60/20 with a 2" leveling kit added on, rotated and balanced for 996 out the door. Not bad for an A/T 10Ply Tire. Because I have 3 jobs that require me to be on and off the road. This is going to make my life easy with an addition of saving a couple hundred dollars.

    My car has 10 airbags to the tune of $1000s that will likely never be used. Meanwhile, a spare that costs the OEM $20 is a safety device that comes in much more handy, as I have had 4 flat tires in the last decade. Safety regulations in the USA should be updated to require vehicles be equipped with spare tires. Oh and while they are being updated, how about banning blinding headlights, touchscreens, etc.

The MT2's are an ALL TERRAIN Tyre Not a Mud terrain. How do I know? A person with experience is Never at the mercy as to someone with a theory. The MT2 are AWFUL in the mud, borderline useless!

    Bluetooth also uses 'radio waves'. Current TPMS uses 315 and 433 MHz band frequencies, Bluetooth is also based on wireless transmission of data but on different frequencies. The only difference may be in the data transmission protocol being used and it's resistance to interference.

    After punctured the tire (pothole) I was in need to install spare tire, so I could only get in that situation 225/50/17 tire (other three are 215/50/17). One wider tire installed on the rear right position. I'm in the process of finding the same 215/50/17 tire, and occasionally driving with one wider tire (and with different pattern), and I didn't notice any change in control, balance, braking, also in 6th gear on highway. Do I really need to match one wider tire ASAP? What are the symptoms of driving with one tire wider 10mm than others on the system? Thanks.

    In Australia road side assistance packages are crap, this is manly because worker are nor allowed to fix a simple puncture. This could be a lie but a worker has stated companies do not want to accept legal liability if anything goes wrong after they repair punctures. In the end its just a profit intiatives so that tyre shops don't lose money on simple puncture repairs.

    hi, UK tech here, nobody does alignments over here [unless you have had a suspension damaging crash], tyres will last long enough to easily outweigh the cost of a glorified tracking check... same for the US oil-change regime, we only change oil once a year, or up to 25,000 miles...

    Can you help?!!! My brother a man in his 40's got a mini 6 weeks ago and 4 weeks from getting it one of his front tyres bubbled. Turns out the back tyre had bubbled and they replaced it before handing the car over saying it was road safe. It took 2 wks for the manager to come back to him and in that time the other front tyre bubbled. 3 of the 4 tyres all bubbled so my brother thought it must be a fault with the tyres. No the manager said it must be how my brother drives the car and he couldn't prove either way. That night my brother had a local garage look at them and they said the tyres had bubbled as they were both perished. My brother was/is mad and called the sales manager again who is still saying it's not there issue that nothing was noted in the inspection before handover. Please tell me how it's possible for 2 tyres deemed road safe to become perished and bubble in 4 weeks. The car was at the showroom for some time before my brother bought it and thinks it's caused them to dry out. He didn't buy locally and can't drive the car in its condition to the place he got it. Is this possible for tyres to perish after passing road safe checks only 4 weeks after?? Surely the car wouldn't have passed an mot the 4 weeks before he got it if that was all the time it took? There must have been signs. Is there ways the cracks were coved up so the place he bought the car didn't have to replace 3 tyres instead of 1? It's all a bit of a mess. My brother takes pride in his cars and looks after them. He's gutted as it's ruined the car for him.
