Top notch video Scotty! I'm 77yrs and my Father was born in Fifeshire, Scotland in 1899. My Grandad & he owned a garage which they developed from Grandad's Blacksmith business. They were both natural engineers and as a Design Engineer & DIYer myself I was in awe of their design of a trailer, of which they made about a dozen of for the local farmers around the small Fifeshire village. I'm very proud of our Scottish (not Scotch BTW, that's something else! :) inventiveness and I still have a Postcard promoting John Dunlop's products, from early 1900s, which my Dad left. There was nothing Dad didn't know about servicing the model T Ford and he marvelled, at the time, about the thin components they used for the crankshaft etc as I think the USA metallurgy was ahead of ours then. Of course, we're ahead now! 🤪 Key Pup the good, even great, work Scotty! What the hell are we going to do when you're gone? NoAxe

In case no one mentioned it yet, the tire at the very beginning of the video is the Pirelli Winter Cinturato, made in Russia and it got me thorough a blizzard a few years back. It morphs into an all-season tire as the tread wears down, with the tread indication "No Snow" after about 12,000 miles. These tires are a necessity in winter here in the North East.

Added note from the end during tire pressure bit: if you are either racing or going to be continually driving on a highway for long periods of time in weather above 90 degrees, be sure to let out a little air actually, especially close to the engine. The friction from the road and ambient engine temperature causes heat buildup and increases tire pressure, and the tire can pop in those conditions. I see blown tires constantly here in the SoCal desert in Barstow in the summer due to over-inflated tires or properly inflated tires driven too long. It regularly hits above 110 degrees Fahrenheit here in the summer, and in August can go to around 115-120 highs and 85 degree lows for close to a week straight. Much of the people I've helped have tried to go from Los Angeles areas to Las Vegas or Needles or vice versa nonstop, except stopping for gas in Barstow. NOT a good idea actually to do that nonstop.

Those ratings are almost meaningless. Each company rates their own tires, and there's no set standard that everyone uses. Back in the 80's, when people started reading things like Consumer Reports, customers started looking at these numbers and the tire companies kept re-rating the same exact tire with higher and higher treadwear numbers. Those numbers really don't count for much.

However, they do so under the guidance of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) who establishes the Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards in 49 CFR 575.104. The NHTSA has the right to inspect the tire manufacturer's data and can fine them if inconsistencies are found.

@@boobtubeakatv1296 You're wrong. I'm not guessing. What I'm telling you is a fact. You can check for yourself, and believe what you wish. But regardless of what your beliefs are, the exact same tires were re-rated. Check for yourself.

I finally went and purchased winter tires for a few months of the year. So glad I did. Snow and I’m able to drive through it and not just spin my wheels

Hey Mr. Kilmer! I love your content. Always informative and respectful. Doesn’t hurt to mention that I’m a former Texan from close to the same Houston area as yourself. I currently drive a 2015 Ram. V6, reg cab 4x4. I put a set of BF Goodrich TA ko 2 on her. I’m Currently in west KY close to the land between the lakes. As you know, we got a ton of snow and ice. These tires along with the 4x4 capabilities of my Ram are amazing. I have no trouble with stop line acceleration, turning, or flat out stopping. The truck goes where I want it to. I only break traction when I want to. I just want to say that if you have a 4x4 and live in any area that has adverse weather conditions, the TA KO 2 tire is the way to go. Amazing grip and performance. Even in summer driving. Keep up the great work. From one Texan to another, yeehaw.

Scotty, I've been doing my own and friend's car repairs for over 60 years and I LOVE your candid, honest and RIGHT ON videos. Too bad more auto mechanics aren't as honest as you. I see friends, especially female friends, ripped off so often by unscrupulous guys. You have my respect. Big AL

Fun Fact: the Michelin Tire Company created the "Michelin Star Award" in the 1960's as a way to sell more tires by granting awards to restaurants that would get people traveling great distances too eat there.

The last 4 numbers of the DOT numbers tell the week and year the tire manufactured.

@BiznessWizard 3 жыл бұрын

That is a very important number many people know nothing about. I know it is the first number I look at when buying tires. If you pay good money for them you might as well make sure they are fresh!

Wouldn’t in theory if the tire hasn’t been exposed to the elements or put under stress of use, tire performance and longevity would still be maintain despite year it was sold if relatively close to birth date of tire.

The last four numbers?? There are ONLY four digits in that date oval, unless the tire was made before 2000, then there were only three digits

@@yeethawt9160 tires begin to disintegrate the moment they are manufactured. Depending on where you live, I was in Phoenix for over two decades, hot climates destroy rubber and that includes tires, windshield wipers, radiator hoses and belts etc. I'm surprised Scotty didn't mention that four digit code, he lived in Houston for so many years. Maybe the humidity helped tires last a little longer than 5 years. But any tire I have that's over 5 years old I take off the car. They won't hold up forever. Which is why zombie movies and apocalypse movies are so dumb to me when people start driving old cars. The batteries would be dead, the gasoline would be gel, and the tires would be completely rotten. Rubber does not hold together forever. And... they're made with several gallons of oil which is the reason they start to disintegrate.
