I looked extensively for a new set in that size a few months ago, included two of your three listings and some others that I considered better than those. I selected the Continental PureContact LS.

Found it! First thanks to all the great suggestions. I used all of them starting with inspecting the brake booster vacuum line. It was dry so I went ahead and loosened the Master Cylinder enough as FowVay suggested and pulled it forward to see there was no fluid there on it's backside...

The brake fluid level in daughters old 92 Camry keeps needing to be topped off for past couple of months. I can't see any signs of brake fluid on the underside wheel or tire surfaces. No ABS on this car and both rear wheel cylinders have been replaced, but it's been 7 or 8 years now. Reading...

Mom cooked a possum when I was a kid. What I remember was it didn't smell good while it was cooking in a pot on the stove. It turned out we didn't try to eat it and she put it out for the dogs. I also remember the dogs would not eat that cooked possum either. At that time I was running a...

I thought you had always taught us over the years that this type of crack (at that interface of the sidewall and tread) is a pending tread separation and therefore a potential dangerous condition when driving at highway speeds. It looks like I have to move to the back of the class 😩 ; but I...

You will get new lead in an Odyssey battery, however many people are not willing to pay $100 or more for that feature.

The Armstrong brand name was purchased a few years ago by a company that is using it now for one of their lines of made in Asia (I think Thailand) tires. Probably not a bad marketing idea but haven't seen any reviews on how the tires are performing and how they might compare to their other...

Fwiw, I have an EverStart Platinum in group size 24F that is over a year old and it will test higher than the label listed CCA. Now about another battery.... three weeks ago I had two failed starts (a week apart) with a 4 and 1/2 year old AZ Gold battery. I removed it from the car and charged...

Well it depends, which sort of makes sense when you think about it. These places have hundreds if not thousands of locations. As for Walmart, I've had very good tire work at some smaller town locations where the employees know many people in their communities and have more of the old school...

I have this same leak on a 4 cylinder. For years I thought it was an oil leak because by the time the oil drips to the concrete it looks brown like oil. I think that is because it runs down over all the dirty parts before dripping down. Regardless, would the 4 cylinder be using a similar "o"...

Get $60 via Visa Card after online submission with the purchase of four (4) new Uniroyal passenger or light truck tires. Offer valid 11/15/23 – 11/27/23. I think these are better values than the current Walmart Goodyear offerings. There are limitations with national retailers like Discount...

I saw that and wondered as we get into Black Friday week if they will also be promoting free installation as was done last year? However the price then was only $20 off (not $30 as the current promotion) so closer to a wash for total out the door cost. Maybe it's going to be $30 off for this...

I have noted that those Reliants are either V or H speed rated so might be a decent tire. The sidewalls are softer than most other tires that I've checked. I wonder if they are using silica in the tread compound - they don't mention anything but they do mention that their other Walmart...

How are you all cutting the slot in the hockey pucks? I tried once years ago and gave up; that was some hard rubber. I need to revisit this try again because my jack does end up bending the pinch welds pretty bad.

Below is my BOSCH D3325, and I believe the orange device is the anti-drainback valve (correct me if I'm wrong). This filter was being used on a 1990's Camry 5SFE 4 cyl. engine. On this engine the filter is mounted in about the 4:30 position pointing down. Over many past oil changes (using...

One would think this to be the case but I will report that I'm all but certain mine are still original in a house built in the late 1950's. I have replaced a couple of springs as they did break. I learned they didn't install safety cables in the old springs (when I heard a loud noise and found...

This looks very similar to the Michelin cracks on my tire. I wonder if the "Green" tread compound formulation is a contributing factor... Michelin really needs to address what needs to be changed in their chemistry to slow these cracks. As others have mentioned, I'm shopping for a new set of...

Thanks for the tips everyone. I went out early and loosened and retorqued the 36mm nut leaving the wheel on the ground. That saved me from having to pull out the jack again.

I had to replace a front wheel hub/bearing on my 1993 Ciera (GM - A body) yesterday. I put the axle nut back on with the air impact rattling it on good and tight to get the car on the road (and to get me out of the July heat index of ~100F). Now I want to adjust the axle nut to the factory...

I was looking at a premium tire that had an "H" speed rating but a "B" temperature rating. That seemed a bit unusual as normally I expected to see a "A" temp. rating; unless it was a "T" or lower speed rating. I guess I still do not understanding the Temperature Test and saw your explanation...
