...How To Fix A Flat Tire A problem that i seem to have more frequently than others is driving around in my car and all of a sudden coming face-to-face with having a flat tire. Ive been in this situation so much i could probably teach a course on how to fix it. So i've decided to give my step by step list of steps i take in order to getting your vehicle back mobile. Before i start there will always be different variations of how to fix this particular problem because of different situations/environments, makes/models of cars and types of tires used on the vehicle. But with that being said, let me begin. Step 1- As soon as you find out you have caught a flat tire (the sound of your rim against the pavement/difference in drive should alert you to this matter) you should immediately try and find a flat surface/level of terrain to stop so you could have a leveled surface to keep your vehicle from rolling away from you. Step 2- Put your car in "park" , and apply the "parking brake." (if you weren't able to find a flat surface try and find a large enough object in order to place in front or back of the tires to help prevent from rolling and to keep the car stable as you prepare to work. Step 3- You will need to assemble your tools. (which should be a jack, spare tire/donut, and given what time it may be you might want to have a flashlight ready.) Step 4- Place your jack underneath your car onto the hard portion (straying way from the plastic portion that some cars may have) and...

...automobile tires: bias; bias-belted; and radial. Bias-tires are built with rubberized cord fabric running diagonally from one tire rim to the other. Bias-belted tires are similar to bias tires but contain cord fabric belts between the plies and the tread. Radial tires are built with cord fabric running straight across the tire from one rim to the other. All radial tires are belted. The combination of radial ply and belting produces tires with longer tread life than either bias or bias-belted tires. Steel-belted radial tires, introduced in Europe in 1954, have been one of the biggest advances in tire design. They consist of cord fabric wrapped in a straight-across radial pattern beneath a belt. The combination provides a smoother ride, better handling, resistance to punctures, and longer tire life. Since 1980, virtually...

...Mohamed Bokhamseen TI 303 February/08/09 Mini Research Tire Shredding Machine Market 1-What percentage of the market can you get? After searching, the cheapest shredding machine costs about $115,000 to purchase, which cuts the tire to 2 inch chips. However, our machine, which chops the tire to very small pieces (0.079 inch), costs about $17,000 to manufacture. As a result, we a have a competitive advantage in the market by a huge margin because of the high technology we use and the extreme cheap cost of manufacturing our machine. (Source: http://www.ssiworld.com) ISS Company (Sources:http://www.shredderhotline.com/?gclid=CLab1tLDzJgCFSEhDQodAwwT0w) Chinese Company 2- Information, if available, about the average COGS? Unfortunately it was hard to find information about the COGS for our machine, but to give an assumption; there are some numbers for some competitors. For SSI Shredding Systems, inc. They are one of the biggest companies in the market that manufactures shredding machines for tires and other materials. They sell their machines at a range of $115,000 to $1,350,000.

...the mechanic tells you that you need new tires. You don't know what size tires you need, what kind to buy, or even why you need new ones. Do you just trust the mechanic, or do you venture out on your own? Okay, so you are going to go for new tires, where do you begin? First of all, it's not a bad thing to have trust in your mechanics. They are going to have to fix a whole lot more than bad tires in the future. But, tires are one thing you have a little control over with just a little bit of knowledge. This way you can make sure you are getting exactly what you need for the price you deserve to pay. The first step is to know why you need new tires. The reality is that all tires wear out eventually. Obviously if there is a huge hole in your tire, you need a new one. The rule is that if there is a puncture that is more than a quarter inch deep, you need to replace that tire. Some punctures are fixable, so make sure they are not trying to pull one over on you for more money. They will...

...Running head: TIRE MANUFACTURER’S AND Tire Manufacturer’s and the Legal and Moral Responsibilities Possessed Matthew Damon University of Kentucky Abstract Vehicle tires undergo many different tests before they are approved for use. The manufacturers of these tires can have some legal responsibility, but is there a moral responsible. Two major tire manufacturers have had controversies involving the use of their tires. Firestone had their controversy with the Ford Motor Company, while Michelin had their controversy in the racing world. Each manufacturer had legal battles, but only Michelin realized the fault in the company tires and deemed them unsafe for use. Automobiles have long since been a major part of our society and for the vast majority of the world. The automobile might be one of the greatest inventions ever, but what is the most important feature of the automobile that is actually in contact with the ground? The answer is simple, the tires. The tires that we think of today are pneumatic tires, meaning that air is enclosed in the void area between the inside of the tire and the wheel, thus reducing vibration and increasing traction. The first pneumatic tires were used on bicycles, not on cars, but that same technology would come to be a major part of the automotive industry. Since their early uses, there have been safety concerns for tires. This prompted many tests ensure the safety of the product. There are countless numbers of tire manufacturers...

...ECON 2010 11 November 2012 Chinese tire tariff lifted September 2009 marked the beginning of a major tariff on imported Chinese tires created by President Obama in an effort to curtail imports considered to possibly be a detriment to U.S. workers. This motion was brought to the table by a complaint filed to the Federal Trade Commission by the United Steelworkers union citing unfair trade practices by China1. The belief was that cheap, imported Chinese tires were the root cause of the loss of over a thousand U.S. jobs in tire manufacturing. Many believe that the tariff was political posturing from Obama aimed at the ever critical Ohio automotive unions. Politics aside, the economic impact over the last 3 years has been great, or not so great, depending on which side of the fence you are standing. Import tariffs by design are used to help control trade balances with foreign countries in an effort to create a somewhat level playing field for all firms within an industry. The Chinese tire tariff has arguably been an irrelevant political attempt to bolster the support of union labor in Ohio. Beginning as early as 2000 the United States had approximately 87,000 workers domestically in tire manufacturing with that number shrinking each year down to 55,000 in 20093. As with much of domestic manufacturing, tire companies began to look to foreign countries to produce their products due to lower costs and higher volume capabilities. With approximately 46.5 million imported...

Since the first bicycle tire in 1898, Goodyear pedaled its way toward becoming the world’s largest tire company, a title it earned in 1916 when it adopted the slogan "More people ride on Goodyear tires than on any other kind," becoming the world’s largest rubber company in 1926. Today, Goodyear measures sales of nearly $20 billion. Goodyear is currently the No. 1 tiremaker in North America and Latin America. Goodyear is also Europe's second largest tiremaker.
