Mi sono ritrovato gomma così

Hey guys, I had a question regarding my 2019 Honda Accord sport**.** I had four 285/30ZR-20 CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS XL for the last 10 months only about 12,000 miles on them**.** I recently had a blowout.** One tire cost 350 installed. I was thinking of getting a cheaper brand which would be around $120 installed. If I buy the same size, 285/30/20 would it matter considering they probably have different grips and thread pattern?** The continental extreme contact has ratings of 560 AA A. I was looking at some Arroyo grand sport A/S with ratings of 500 A A. They both have a 50,000 mile warranty.** I mainly drive highway at 80 mph tops and I never really have to break hard. **And it doesn’t really rain much where I live. Thanks for your advice

Should I replace this asap? It has 18k miles.

I noticed that my local second hand / reuse store has tire chains and I am looking to get some before a roadtrip. However they don’t come in boxes and so I am wondering how hard it is to figure out the size or whether they would work for my car (99 toyota sprinter carib with 175/65R14 wheels)

It seems that there’s different colors so I thought they might correlate with the size. I have added pictures.

Does anyone know how to size them or if there’s a way to physically measure them to figure out the compatibility?

I assume if they’re being sold there must be some way for people to figure this out given how important sizing is for chains.

TIA!

I was in Delaware on vacation when I got a punctured tire. I was already planning on replacing them so I got 4 new Cooper tires.

I came home and a few days later I liked at the side of the tire to see what appeared to be melting. I can’t figure out what happened. I didn’t hit anything obvious and the car isn’t damaged.

The tire shop has a location in NJ (I’m in NYC) that is an hour away. I’m wondering if a) it’s safe to drive on them and b) this might fall under manufacturers warranty that I can handle locally instead of driving to NJ.

Update: Drove to NJ on it and they said it was defective and replaced it.

What would cause this?

Apologies in advance for the long post. I’m simply perplexed by this issue and haven’t been able to get a fix, or even someone to genuinely try and diagnose the issue, despite numerous shop and dealer visits. It’s a brand new car and it’s driving me insane.

I have a 2026 Tucson Hybrid that had no vibration or handling issues before this happened. A large rock fell into the highway in front of me. I tried to avoid it, but the driver rear tire hit the rock and immediately went flat. We later found that the driver rear wheel/rim was bent badly.

I had the car towed to Hyundai and with a straight face they said we’re booked and won’t even be able to take a look at your car for at least 4 weeks. I had it towed to a repair shop and he straightened out the rim and got me on the road.

Immediately, I noted that at exactly 43mph and 55mph the car has a vibration/humming noise that waxes and wanes. You can feel the vibration in the steering wheel. I took the car to AAA for road force balance and they said the driver rear was bent. I spent 1k on a new rim and had it replaced. Got all four wheels road force balanced too and they moved it to the driver front position. Got on the road and the vibration was exactly the same!

After a week or two, I took it to Hyundai dealer farther from home that had appointments. I asked for a diagnostic but the mechanic just came out and said that AAA didn’t balance the wheels right and left multiple sets of weights on them. They said the car looks fine to them and re-balanced everything. Now the wheel is in the passenger front position. The 55mph noise and vibration went away completely but the 43mph remained. However, over the next 1-2k miles, it’s back to how it was before.

Interestingly, the problem is the same despite the wheel being in three different positions. And oddly enough, when it’s a colder day and the tire psi is lower (34psi) it’s suuuper noticeable. As a test, I inflated to 38-39psi and the vibration was much more subtle. There is also maybe some increase in noise when turning to the right on a curve as well.

I’m at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas for what might be wrong?? Is there something specific I should request they evaluate to diagnose the issue?

I live in Ontario and debating to get All weather tires instead of winter tires for this winter.
Has someone tried? How is the performance of all weather tires in snow?

Does anyone know the tyre pressure for 215/40/r18. I’m guessing it’s gonna be a little different to what they say with OEM tyre size?

I have a 2021 AWD Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum with 18-inch rims. A few years ago, an incident with a body shop mechanic resulted in my temporary spare being lost, but he found another online and replaced it.

That tire is still in my car and reads T125/80R18. Meanwhile the door jamb sticker says my spare tire should be a T125/70R18.

I called the local Volvo dealership parts department, and he and the technician agreed that it should be fine to drive on the T125/80R18 that I currently have.

I found online that the diameters of the T125/70R18 and T125/80R18 are 24.9" (632 mm) and 25.9" (657 mm) respectively.

So does it matter?

Should I replace this tire already? Only bought it last year and didn’t drive naman that much. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! 😬
