Tyres and rims - what you need to know
Tyres and rims — everything a car owner needs to know
In this section: 5 articles
The site's main advantage is that its authors have no interest in selling or praising anything. So the objectivity and usefulness of the information provided far exceeds the standard set of tips you'll find on any tyre and rim online shop's website.
A genuinely one-of-a-kind service — the tyre calculator — lets you work out, in a single click, every parameter of a rim and tyre, the change in ground clearance, and how far actual speed deviates from the speedometer reading. Other tyre calculators typically offer these capabilities only partly, or you need to select tyre sizes several times over to get every result.
One section of the site is devoted to choosing alloy wheels. What alloy wheels are, how forged rims differ from cast ones, whether you can buy replica rims, and how to decode rim markings correctly. Among the other material is expanded information on choosing a tyre fitting shop, the importance of proper wheel balancing, and the causes and remedies for steering-wheel vibration, among much else.
