TIRE
What is a tire made of. What percent of a tire is rubber? What is a pneumatic tire? What is the difference between radial & bias ply tires ? Why are tires black?
Filled by air, especially compressed air: a pneumatic tire (dictionary definition). All tires manufactured today are considered Pneumatic tires.

Tire Size
If you switch tire size on a car you can mess up the speedometer to figure out how close you are do the math to figure out the diameter. For a 205/75R15 tire it would look like this 205 X .75 x 2 25.4 + 15= 27.106 Tire size X Aspect ratio X 2 25.4 + Rim size 100
Aspect Ratio
Percentage of tires height in relation to its width A 60 series tire height will be 60% of the width. The aspect ratio can be a 40,50, 60,65,70,75,78 These are some of the most common ones.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
On some performance tires, you will notice some additional numbers and letters located at the end of the tire size. For Example: P185/70R14 92S In this example the 92S is called the SERVICE DESCRIPTION. The Service Description consists of two parts, the LOAD INDEX and the SPEED RATING. You'll notice the Speed Rating S has been moved from the old Metric size system of: 185/70SR14 to P185/70R14 92S
The SPEED RATING is a letter which designates the rating achieved on indoor wheel testing.

Load Index
The LOAD INDEX is a number ranging from 0 to 279 and covers load capacities from the smallest motorcycle tires to those for the largest earth mover tires. In passenger car tires, the load index typically ranges from 75 to 100. As in aspect ratio where the operative word was ratio, in load index the operative word here is index. An index is a point of reference or a chart to refer to find information. All tire guides used by retail tire stores have them and they have load index charts in them. By referring to the load index chart in the Tire Guide you can determine the maximum load carrying capacity of a tire size from using the load index number at the end of the P-Metric size. For Example: Load Index Max Load (lbs.) 91 1356 92 1389 93 1433
Speed Rating
Rating Maximum Speed Q 99 mph S 112 mph T 118 mph U 124 mph H 130 mph V 149 mph W 168 mph Y 186 mph Z Above 149 mph from goodyear

Tires are tested under Laboratory conditions they are not worn out, are properly inflated, not over loaded, damaged or altered. Just because they have a speed rating does not mean the car is safe to drive at those speeds
Tire pressure
Tire pressure should be check monthly Tire pressure should be checked cold for every 10 Fahrenheit change in air temperature, your tire's inflation pressure will change by about 1 psi The air pressure in the tire supports the car, make sure that it is the right amount. If you check the air pressure inside the shop at a temperature of 70 will the tires be the right pressure when it goes outside at 0?
