Thanks from the bottom of my heart I was looking for a lot of videos, finally Scotty you the only one who made it in one video with a brief short explanation but helpful a lot 😊
Hey Scotty please help me, is the 2009 Lexus IS 220d a good buy or not(with manual 6 speed) . Thank you
I have that same digital gauge. Got it almost 20 years ago. I've had to change the battery a couple times but it is still accurate.
Why the NH references Scotty!
scotty what tire gauge should i buy, there is no link
Finally learned all the signs my car gives me. Still can't figure my wife out though
Maybe you can trade the wifey in for a newer model 😉😉😉
🤣🤣🤣
Idk if ur joking or not but woman are a different emoji every day
Just get her aligned, sooner rather than later😆
A wife can be under or over inflated, worn out, or out of alignment. now if her front end is functioning properly, she is a keeper.
This is true. I've died like 8 times using these tires.
🤣

I once took my '76 Cutlass to Firestone for a front end alignment. Four hours later I returned and my car was in the same spot I left it. I went inside and was told they can't align the front end because the FUEL PUMP was leaking. I left and never went to a Firestone again. That was 35 years ago. I drove that Cutlass for another 8 years before I let it go. Never did change the fuel pump.
scotty my 5 year old son shouts rev up your engines when i watch your videos lol
My gf went on a long trip, and when she came back one of the tires had a spot on the sidewall about to pop with steel wires sticking out. Another time we went on a short trip. We got there with no issues. But, coming back as soon as we got onto the onramp, the car started shaking. We pulled over and I inspected all the tires. One of the rear tires was bulged out so far it was unbelievable that it hadn't finished bursting. The spare tire had very low pressure, just enough to hold it up so we crawled to the nearest air pump.
I ensured that we now have an air pump in the trunk.
One thing to note: do NOT use tire sealants if you have TPMS, it will destroy your sensors. They may say "TPMS safe" but they are not. Lesson learned the hard way.
I had same issues with Chinese made tires, were yours made in China too?
You shouldn't be using tire sealants, anyway.
I swear scotty is in my head 😂 he's always making videos I'm needing and thinking about. This video couldn't have come at a better time! Winter is coming!👍
Wish I could be rid of the tire around my waist... 😥
Just stop eating until it's gone
But you're the Michelin man! You're famous!
Adolf Honkler it really is that simple
Unfortunately, those tires are very reliable. Even the ones made in China. They come in all different sizes and colors. They have a lifetime warranty. And, last but not least, THEY'RE FREE!!!! 😁
@@electron7659 😆 lol.

Can never understand why someone would dislike a video like this ! Scotty please do a video showing just what happens to tyres that are constantly being curbed !
Never cheap out on tires.
sometimes when dough is low we have to.😁
Buff Barnaby well don’t cheap out on brand at least! Get 75% tread on good brands like BFG or something
Thomas Griffin yea your right i was buying used tires , finally smartened up and went looking for new ones and their not super expensive for good brands it’s worth saving a little extra for quality .

Hahaha...so funny....How about you park your car in my driveway so I can give my rattle gun a workout. I didn't need it at all when I replaced the dash and console unit in boyfriend's dodge or come to think of it neither did I need it when I replaced the clutch actuator in his F350 while he was busy making me a hot cuppa because it was pissing down rain and truck was not moving.....The misogyny is a total turn off, like your comment. Scotty puts up pics of ignorance not targeting a specific gender but look how your pickle got so excited thinking he's an old pig like yourself and specifically meant that all women are ignorant of mechanical knowledge. Torque that, you jerk.
Jo-Anne Gawley lmao you know it’s a fact man do it most of the time it’s not about hating it’s just a joke kid
@@amersiraz7455- Let's hear some of the jokes wimmins tell about men?
Al Grayson sure I wouldn’t mind
Good habits that I learned to do to my tires:
1. Check the tire pressure every two weeks (15th and 30th of the month). Inflate, if necessary, to recommended tire pressure*.
2. Rotate tires EVERY oil change**. Have alignment done EVERY OTHER oil change.
* - Tire pressure is printed in the owner’s manual and/or on the driver’s side door.
** - If your vehicle comes with the same exact FULL SIZED spare tire, include it in the tire rotation. Hence, doing a 5 tire rotation.
Having done these two important things made my tires last longer than before. It’s a great money saver too because the car has better gas mileage and tires wear a lot better.
Scotty, I love you!!!! I wish I could put this on repeat in my shops waiting area! Absolutely perfect tire info!!! You are the BEST!!!!

Hahahahhahhaa you guys
Loved you’re previous video about Mazda. Scotty’s finally on the M train! Our 2016 Mazda 6 is our favorite car we’ve owned.
It is pretty new...
Ryan Arnold it’s two years old, if your happy about two years of reliability I can’t imagine how bad ur previous cars must have been. Will see how the “skyactive” tech lasts in 10 years
Yeah it is new but so far so good at 50k miles. And yes my 2010 Traverse I still have and my 2010 v6 lt2 2010 Camaro who’s engine blew around 100k were nightmares. They have completely redid the Mazda line the last few years and are very nice. But as I’ve learned it could all go to hell in the next few years so here’s hoping. I haven’t been a car person per say and have owned many Chevys and a Dodge and even with good maintenance about 130-140k miles they crap out. This car actually reminds me of my 2000 Honda Accord I had. IDK how to say it but the build quality of the interior alone just seems superior to what I’ve been driving previously.
Ryan Arnold still, any german car will last just as long with not a single issue pretty much yet they aren’t the most reliable. The thing Is the interior quality is likely a step up from what you had previously and that makes a huge difference on the overall perceived quality. If it is GM products you had before then you may know but they are so bad that they don’t even sell them in the UK really, quality is tragic. Reliability is less so a concern here though, things like the interior make a huge difference, hence VW Group and BMW lead the way in this field and technology, Lexus for example can’t beat them or even come close to VW in terms of technology so for such reasons even those and Toyotas aren’t good sellers. I think what matters most is that you love the car
@@forc3ofxf3ar51 I have a 2012 Mazda 3 2.0 liter skyactive engine with over 120,000 miles on it, zero problems never needed any repairs, doesn't lose a drop off oil between changes.

Hey Scotty the rear tires on my wife's Honda Accord. We're like you mentioned feathered wear like hills and valleys and we're making so much noise. We took them to our mechanic and had me feel the tires..We couldn't see it with the naked eye. Great video Scotty..Thanks So Much!
Heriberto Mendoza Rear tires on front wheel drive cars do this a lot. Have them rotated more . Like every other oil change . Also make sure they only run the lug nuts down with a power wrench and final torque with a torque wrench . Over torquing lug nuts will warp brake rotors .
The 2008-2012 model was bad for scalloping and excessive wear. Very noisy to drive.
Great video Scotty. You are in my wheelhouse here. I was an alignment technician for 36 years and all of your information in this video is spot on! I almost feel like coming out of retirement now. (NOT) thanks for all your great videos.
i went to collage to be a mechanic and everything scotty says is true and if u find a good honest mechanic keep going to him
Trade School not College.

@@keithbohon2438 I go to a community college for auto and I'm taking English 101 what you tryna say😂
I think people make too big of a deal about tire wear. I've been driving and doing my own vehicle maintenance for about 25 years. I always run tires until the tread is almost gone. I will only change them early if there is a bulge out of the sidewall or any other damage to the sidewall. knock on wood, I have only had one blowout and that was from hitting a chunk of concrete from a landscaping truck. Luckily, that was the only tire i have had to change from the side of the road too.
Now that I live in the city with all the used tire shops I haven't bought new tires in about 10 years. I can usually get used tires with 70-90% tread for half the price of new, sometimes less. Sometimes its hard to find matching sets of used but it seems fairly easy to find them in pairs. I don't just put used tires on junk vehicles that i will only be driving a year or two, I put them on nice vehicles i want to keep because It saves me money over the long run. I may have to replace tires every 3 or 4 years instead of every 5 but when you are doing it for less than half the cost its a lot easier on the pocket book.
There's a name for what you're doing -- it's called: "Penny wise, Pound foolish."
F**king nickle-snatchers never learn !!
@@SlikLizrd you are right!! after saving a thousands of dollars on tires and never having a problem doing it I'm having trouble seeing where my "penny snatching" ways have steered me wrong. You can go back to convincing old ladies that they need to spend $1000 to buy a new set of junk Goodyear from you now chuck.
@@marchawk3080 From your comment, it appears that you are MUCH too immature to understand the concept behind "Penny Wise - Pound Foolish".
"old ladies" ?? -- "1000 dollar tires" ?? "Junk Goodyears" ??
You should have stayed in school, kid.
@@marchawk3080 If you're happy putting around on used tires (that somebody else got rid of), it's no skin off MY nose.
Over 60 years of driving experience in many different types of vehicles, and in all climates, has proven to me that NEW tires are the safest (wrecks cost MONEY!), most economical (in the long run), and provide the greatest peace-of-mind during our long-distance, high-speed touring through the American West.
@@SlikLizrd used tires are almost never tires that someone got rid of. Almost all of them come from salvage vehicles and still have assloads of life left on them. They usually throw away anything under 50% tread. Tires with 50-70% tread are 1/3 the price of new. Tires with 70-90% tread are about 1/2 price of new.
I got 40k miles out of the factory Goodyear on my '14 RAM after i bought it new. I bought a used pair of Firestones that i put on the front for $120 and a used pair of Michelin i put on the back for $100, both were 80+% tread. I have 35k on this used combination now and I at least have another year left to go on them. This is my smaller gas truck that i use in my business which is hauling trailers. I use it for local deliveries thats why the mileage is so low compared to my diesel. My diesel wasn't purchased new and i haven't paid as close of attention to the tires o have on it.
I am just trying to let people know what has worked for me. Anytime i can find a way to not pay retail price i feel like i won. I know that a lot of the older generation (who come from the 50-70's era when you could buy a new car with 2 months pay) like the false piece of mind that you can get from paying retail prices at stores. Some folks out there just need to get down the road as cheap as possible. That's the situation i was in not too long ago and it taught me a few things. I was just trying to pass on some of what I have learned.
Got it :
when I see CORDS change the tire after all SCOTTY I’m cheap like you I wanna get my moneys worth !!! 🤣
You sound like my dad. If it holds air, good enough. If it didn't, replace it with another used tire. All this while driving up north in the snow. Once I bought my own car, I learned the value of buying good tires.
@@robertheinkel6225 Problem is, no one wants to sell used tires anymore. At least in the mid-sized town I live in
After a few close calls, I change all four tires whenever they reach about 40% wear. Screw economy, I need safety especially in th rain. On the other hand I have very cheap 16 inch 185 width tires, so good tires only cost $120 each.
I love how the tyre is worn thru the rubber, and he points out the wear indicators on the bit that's passable. 😆
Nah we run them tires until the air shows 😂😂
Thanks a lot. This video is more than a money saver this is car saver. Many people do more than 1 or 2 of these things you mentioned. I feel like a mechanic the more and more I watch your videos.
My tire was low on air and the edges became square, so I threw on the spare and drove my Corvair when the weather was less than fair to the diner for a steak that is medium rare. I should replace the tires as a pair, since the other side is showing wear and the car itself is in need of repair....even the headliner is starting to tear, but I don't care. My wife is having an affair and I'm losing my hair. If she leaves she gets to keep the BelAir. It's all too much to bear.
Life is unfair.

How was the steak???

Well done?
@@warryckscown5620 a little too rare...
Always great stuff and this is no exception. Yes, tires speak in sign language. Don't ignore the signs. There's a lot riding on you tires.
last time I was this early the tread on my tires was DEEP
How deep? 5/8"? 3/4"?
Hey Scotty, really like the way you describe repair issues. One thing i notice in your videos is how there is much less corrosion on the chassis components in Dallas than here in the north. Road salt is a cruel thing to put a car through for 4 or 5 months of the year. Good luck with your move.
From another one of your videos, putting the new tires on the back of a front wheel drive car never made sense to me either.
Hey Scottie, i really like your shows because it helps a lot of your fans like me maintain our cars better. Gives us some laugh at the same time. Thanks a lot!
My late husband had a spare tire around his mid section. I never liked the tread design so I clipped most of it off and then gave him an "alignment" if you know what I mean. He screamed louder than you but he stayed straight......
Glad you made this video. I work at Costco in the tire center and if I had a dollar for every customer that complains about our tires wearing wrong when in reality it’s their damn car,I’d be rich.
The best wear indicator is when you slip and slide during the first rain
Brand new tires sometimes slide because of the slippery new surface. That's why some high performance tires come shaved...
@Brian Crawford I wasn't giving you an option, I was just explaining to you why you may have been sliding on new tires. If you think your life is not worth more than a couple of hundred extra miles, that's your decision.
j freed well michelins are junk so
Had a set of original equipment Goodyear Forterra HL tires on a used car. I couldn’t see the cause of vibration, but one shop finally diagnosed the problem. Ended up with a new set of Michelin’s and it was like a had a new car. They never experienced the cupping problem.
Scotty got a new outdoor fan! :)
I remember once I was on a long drive my pressure monitoring system gave me a low pressure warning. I saw a sign for Walmart Super center on the next exit and decided to stop. Took it into the car shop and asked them to check the tire for any leaks and repair if needed. I still had about 500 miles drive to go. 15 minutes later they called me back and showed me the inside tire wall. It had completely fallen off! The tread on the tire was still 80% left! That early warning by the pressure sensors and the stop saved my life. They only had cheap tires, so bought only one. After I got back home replaced all 4 with good quality tires. The warranty coverage never payed me a cent even though they had a defective tire that almost killed me.
If the tread is gone it will turn into drag tires, just take it to the drag strip... lol 😝😝😝😂🤣
@Eze&Yare Dominguez More importantly they have been through tons of heat cycles and they are probably dry and hard as a rock with absolutely zero grip. Your tires are like your skin, and they have moisture and oils in them that break down and evaporate over time.
Dual purpose tires, you can use it on the road and track, and its dot approved, they are performance tires suitable for on roads and on track.
I had a bulge in my tire nit long ago, definitely from a pothole. I live in the ghetto so nothing gets done around here, soooo many potholes and horrible, old roads. I got some new tires, Goodyear ones and the right size, too. (They were smaller than they should have been.) My car runs so much smoother its amazing
What did the road say to the tire?
Dont tread on me!
Scotty: cant we all just alignment along??????
Thanks Scotty. My AWD Subaru’s back tires just signed at me for an alignment.
Excellent information Scotty. Thanks

Scotty send me a new car, mines totaled 🤣
People seem to buy a car that exceeds their income level to impress people but then buy the most inexpensive tire to save money. Most people never check their tire pressure weekly. Tire pressure per manual of vehicle NOT max pressure on actual tire. 🔥
Hey Scotty if you dont drive that Celica you you have flat spots on the tires. Make a video driving it. Thanks
Good man Scotty and your videos are good videos. You are a Superman Mechanic. Intelligent, knowledgeable, funny, helpful, etc etc. So many people must be wishing that you would be their mechanic.
“Flat spots come from aggressive driving”

Never cheap out on a mattress, everyday shoes, or tires. Ever.

Thank you for all your videos! The Education that you are giving has saved me from many mistakes.
The last time I was this early Scotty was a young mechanic!
Flat spots are common in really cold weather. Here in MN it's common below -30°F. Tires usually warm up after a few min of slow driving. Usually happens in the morning after a very cold night.
Hey Scott. Love your videos!!
Tire wear on the edges can be from aggressive driving. Hard cornering can cause the tires to slightly fold and wear out the edges prematurely. Please don't ask me how I know this, sorry boss. Also 90% of Tire failures come in the last 10% of tire wear. At the end of their lives tires lose the ability to dissipate Heat. Just my two cents worth. Please keep up the good work Scotty love the videos...
Over inflated, that’s prices of cars these days.
Actually your tires do talk on occasion, but you have to turn off the radio long enough to listen to them now and then. Sometimes it helps to roll down the windows as well. You always want smooth-talking tires, as opposed to the smooth talkers at the dealership.
Scotty is G.O.A.T
Really good video. I'd love to see Scotty review different repair shops in each city to let people know which actually do quality work.

@@bignoseharry6561 He was saying he thought it was funny, not his joke.
Love these videos , I was a tire changer for few years and learned these things in depth, even training courses, but im guilty of larger tires because my jeep deserves them ☺️😂!!!
This video really made me "Tired"
Although the tread is good and I haven't put a lot of miles on my 1964 Ford Pickup F250 the tires are starting to crack along the tread on the side walls and the tires must be about 11 years old so today I am changing the tires to another new set of Bridgestone tires at Costco. That is the 2 things that are most important on any vehicle and that is brakes and tires.
"If you have a bulge, think back ..." OMG, my huge gut is because I existed on candy as a kid! LOL
I've owned that same tire pressure gauge for 8 years. Thanks for the info Scotty, excellent video.
What about cars with different brands of tires on each wheel. .
You'd be okay if they have similar characteristics - tread pattern, speed/grip rating, and worn about the same.
And how important all that is depends on the driving conditions.
Thanks Scotty, for all of your videos. You are the best auto repair mechanic i have ever run across. Thanks very much.
Visit a reputable tire distributer, one owned and worked by the owner, also ask other car owners for a recommendation as for a trusted dealer. Maintain tire pressure, check it yourself. Scotty is right, you are responsible for your own safety
My wife side walls tell me everything.....always kissing the curb.
That's disturbing... 😄
I e been putting different size tires on stock rims for 20+ years only issues I e ever had was a speedometer/odometer that didn't read correctly. Now that I'm older and know better, I got an OBDII that can recalibrate not only the speedometer but the entire ECU! Never had any strange wear because of it!
Well no tires for me . Thanks scotty
Excellent PSA. Probably will save some lives.
Sometime, you should give away a free set of tires lol. ;)
Hes cheap,youll get 3.
Nah just a full size spare lol
You can get a full size rim and tire from a junkyard for about $50
I had a spraddle-legged old '68 Impala whose suspension was so worn the front tires were cocked out at a good 20deg, and wore the insides of the tires down to cords in a couple of weeks!
Thanks for all the video Scotty!! I really appreciate them!!
One thing that should be done before an alignment, is a wheel balance, I always make sure all wheels are balanced before doing an alignment. I don't like customers coming back for the same problem.
No grip means better burnouts lol
lmfao
Scotty, you never cease providing a world of GREAT information, while entertaining at the same time! You are quite a guy! PLEASE, Scotty, keep these videos coming!..Ron K
So...I guess I need to get my inner tubes that I use for tires,refaced walled by Bandag,right Scotty?.(HAHA!!😂)
This is a very informative video on tires. It was well worth watching and no Toyota opinions anywhere. Scotty put a lot of research and work in this video I am sure.
Tire abuse😂
If sticky weights are falling off it can also indicate the wheels are being overheated due to excessive breaking or stuck closed brake calipers. I work at a tire install shop... Sticky weights tend to be a pain to remove and clean the residue, only a few times out of the year do i have the complaint and usually the wheels are scorching hot or the weights were installed on a dirty surface.
I drove my tires until one tire literally fell apart. Money was tight. lol
F-150 been there lmaoo
My Dad got me an Accutire guage when I was a teenager. I am now 45 years old and it still works. Finally had to change out the original battery about 5 years ago.
