    What does this wear mean?

    Sorry the pictures weren't helpful enough guys, I assumed that the extra wear on the edges of the treads would be telling enough. Regardless, I just got a call back from the service department and they said they rotated the tires and also checked the alignment but apparently it wasn't necessary...

    Can I safely go down a "tick" in aspect ratio?

    Originally Posted By: JHZR2 Can you find the correct or higher weight rating? If so, id not be worried. No, all the ones I looked at that are close to the OEM size (but not the exact size) are rated for about 600 pounds less total over the 4 tires.

    Can I safely go down a "tick" in aspect ratio?

    Originally Posted By: stephen9666 Where are these claims that the design changed? I've been doing a decent amount of reading on this tire recently (I'm also considering them) and I haven't read that claim. Is this claim from a reputable source, or from people writing online website reviews who...

    Can I safely go down a "tick" in aspect ratio?

    Originally Posted By: stephen9666 I would probably just stick with the OE size. Either the KR21 or H724 would probably be fine for a sensible driver. As far as the KR21 wet traction, CR rates it "good" in that category, and Tire Rack seems to have a somewhat similar rating. Here's the Tire...

    Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete Originally Posted By: weebl A better idea may be to replace the wheels with 15" (cheap used steel ones can likely be had).

    Originally Posted By: JayhawkRoy We have KR21's on a 2011 Subaru Outback, for two years. No wet or snow traction issues at all. Only complaint will be that the tires won't really go 60K miles, but I priced them to go 45K as break even, and they will go at least that far. Thanks. 4WD/AWD I...

    Can I safely go down a "tick" in aspect ratio?

    Originally Posted By: bepperb I'd take the Kumho's. The KR21's get a bad rap for not meeting rated mileage. I think otherwise they are a fine tire. In a minivan I would be hesitant to choose a smaller tire in width or aspect ratio. Minivan's usually push it for load capacity, and then the...

    Can I safely go down a "tick" in aspect ratio?

    I've been tasked with finding good replacement tires for a family member's late-90s minivan. The tires it takes are P205/75R14. However, unfortunately it seems to be an uncommon tire size these days so there are only a few tires out there to choose from: on TireRack it's either the Hankook...

    SLIP2000 MSDS

    Sorry for the bump, but thanks for posting the MSDS. One thing I'm curious about is the fact that they market this and talk about it in the MSDS as being non-toxic and non-hazardous. I see that it contains some sort of benzene-related chemical (Benzene, mono-C10-12-alkyl derivs., fractionation...

    Filter imperfections.

    I ordered a Mopar 68191349AA / M0-349 filter for my 2014 Jeep GC on eBay from an authorized Jeep dealer a few days ago and got it in the mail today. I opened up the box and noticed two imperfections. One is what appears to be a burn mark or something; the other is one of the fins is rather close...

    Oil recommendation 2014 CR-V

    OP, I don't have a CRV but I just bought a 5qt. jug of Quaker State Ultimate Durability at Walmart for my 2014 vehicle for a little over $20 because QS has a $20 rebate available on their website. That and QSUD seems to be pretty highly regarded as a "sleeper" oil here, and based on this test it...

    Does oxygen exposure shorten oil's shelf life?

    I accidentally broke the seal on a 5qt container of oil I bought today and I don't plan on changing the oil for several weeks. I wondered to myself if that might have any effect on the oil. I thought about it some more and realized that doesn't really make sense. But I still wonder enough to ask...

    Yearly OCI, low mileage, short trips Pentastar

    I've got a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3.6L Pentastar. The manual recommends 5w20, but says 5w30 is fine if you can't find an oil in 5w20 that meets the standards; also, previous years with the same engine had the manual recommending 5w30. Some information: Low miles per year (5K) Highway...
