I run 3 5k oil changes on a Fram Ultra for a total of 15K before I change the filter

The patch is still fully in place, but after 1,150 miles, no longer holds the air so I'm back to square one....a pinhole leak that I can ride on while keeping properly inflated until I buy a new tire for it. I certainly would never put a plug or plug/patch through this pinhole leak which I...

Broc....zero ozone cracking on the tire (I drive about 26,000 miles per year, so they're newer tires per the manufacturers code). The puncture is so small I can't even see it, just the resulting soap bubbles when Discount Tire showed me where it was located. I'd hate to accuse anyone of...

I take my General Altimax RT43's to Discount Tire for free rotation/balance. 8 days later and 75 miles from home i notice my back left tire is low on air. I check and it's at 20 psi. I have a cig lighter air pump and pump it to it's usual 34 psi (4 over placard), stop halfway home with zero drop...

tirebuyer.com....general altimax rt43 in your size runs $90.99 each with FREE shipping to an installer in your area, plus $20 off the total currently if you use one of their installers (listed as you go through the purchase cycle). If you have a Discount Tire in your area, they can order the...

+1 on the Hercules aren't bad. I was highly impressed with my Hercules Tour 4.0 tires that had more than 3/32nd left on them when I took them off with 49,000 miles on them. To be honest, they had better dry grip than the General RT43's I have on my Camry now that replaced the Hercules....and I...

Nick, I have the the same color 2000 Toyota Camry with tinted windows and General RT43's also!!! lol I"ve had my RT43's for 28,000 miles and generally run them at 35psi (vs. 30 on stated on the vehicle placard). I'm just above 7/32nds with these, so tire wear is right about where it should be...

I rotate my tires every 6 to 8 thousand miles. Without question, my tires wear faster on the front. If my two older tires had "half tread left", say, 7/32nds or 6/32nd of an inch, I'd put my new ones on the front, forgo rotating my tires while the older ones remain on the back, and there might...

I recently purchased 4 Fram Ultra filters at Pep Boy's ebay store for $6.17 each....added 10 oil drain plug crush washers from another ebay vendor for $4.95.....all with free shipping....received everything in a timely manner without incident!!!

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that the vast majority of gasoline sold in the United States has at least some ethanol in it, oftentimes up to 10 percent, with many states not having legislation which requires gas retailers to label their petroleum as having ethanol. Having looked...

I"ve used both Avast free and AVG free over the last 10 years with good results. Before that I had a discounted 3 year subscription to PC-cillin and it did the job.

If I don't have a funnel handy or am too lazy to get it out of the garage, I'll take the cap off either the quart, or even a 5 quart jug, hold it so the top of the cap is pushed flush (reversed) against the opening of the container and I can then tilt the container up to the edge of the opening...

I'm in Detroit once or twice per year. As suggested by others, make a point to see quality experiences....Eastern Market on a Saturday morning...it's the largest farmers market in the United States. The Detroit Art Institute is outstanding....my 2nd favorite art museum in the U.S. behind the Art...

+1 on what raytseng said. Sometimes with an urban legend account like that, the person telling it has said it so many times they sometimes have actually created a false memory of the event having actually happened! lol

Have put your hand over that hole or tried blocking it with the engine running to confirm that's the source of your exhaust system leak? If it is, a cheap quick fix would be to cut out a circle just a bit larger than that hole out of a beer or coke can and bond it with some type of putty steel...
