Everything you NEED to know about Car Tires!

A Professional car mechanic shares everything you need to know about Car Tires from tire basics to how to choose the best tires for your car and tire problems you should know about.
In this video I share with you everything I learned over a long career with Toyota on Car Tires. Tires have the biggest impact on how a car drives. Most people take tire decisions lightly but it is one of the most important decisions for a car. From driving experience to flat safety! This is the kind of information that I believe every car owner should know. Even if you don't work on cars this information will give you knowledge to navigate your way through shops.
These are things you need to know about Car Tires before you buy tires, While you own them and before you service them.
We'll start the video with some tire basics. Explaining the tire sizes, speed rating and weight rating. Then we'll dig into the main dish of the video. How to choose the best tires for your car?
Later in the video we'll cover some common tire problems including ones you might have never heard of before.
Then we'll cover some tire service information.

I thought I knew most everything about tires: Wrong. The best 30 minute presentation on the subject on the web. All content, no fluff. Thanks Mr. CCN~!

[@michaelcesco2970]

Warning ! DON'T buy used tires unless it's an emergency ! And if you do, take it off as soon as you can replace it with two NEW ones on that same axel. A buddy of mine had a habit of always buying used tires and sent me to a place he used. BIG MISTAKE ! The place gave me a " thirty day warranty ". It blew out in less than two weeks ! I had to pull over on the grass and call for the tow truck to come put my donut on. Those shysters knew that tire was no good. I could have been killed at highway speeds. I never went back to them.

[@peterkincaid6406]

Actually most people have never been told that when Peugeot started building a car they put aset of Michelin tyres on the ground. BUILT THE CAR TO SUIT WHAT THEY BUILT !! For many years Peugeot built the fastest cornering car !! Americans were stunned when PEUGEOT 505 made there V 8 Super Cars look stupid. !! Enzo Ferraris Bench Mark for ride , handling and suspension. AND FAVOURITE CAR. WAS PEUGEOT. !! ???? WHY ??? BECAUSE IT WAS A FAMILY WHO CARED ABOUT THAT WHICH THEY MADE FOR YOU. AND NOT AS THE LIKES OF FORD. WHO ACTUALLY PAID PEUGEOT. FOR THEIR PATENTS !! THE SAD PART ABOUT MOST COMPANIES HAVE AN OCCULT UNGODLY AGENDA. !! AND IS WHY WE HAVE A WORLD WIDE CLEAN OUT AT HAND !!

My impression is that manufacturers often put very cheap tires on new vehicles. My 2001 Tundra came with Dunlop ATs which lasted 24K miles. I replaced them with Michelins which were expensive, but lasted 65K miles and improved gas consumption by 1mpg. Looking at my cars, truck, bicycles and motorcycles I seem to end up with Michelin or Continental.

[@jasonmurdoch9936]

Michelin Tire are almost always by far the best value for the money

[@GaryL3803]

You are correct Dalton, the OEM tires are usually the cheapest tires that are black and round, especially on cheaper cars. Michelins are premium tires and have a good reputation for a reason, they are tested and rated by someone who knows, the consumer. TireRack is the very best way to buy tires, they have far more repeat customers who, like Amazon, care enough to leave ratings. I have bought many tires from TireRack and had them installed by local tire stores for around $25/tire. A hint about tire pressure, too much pressure reduces the traction and causes sloppy handling, too little causes high wear and sloppy handling. The sticker on the car door frame is a good starting point for pressure but +/- 2 PSI can have a big effect. It varies a lot by the tire manufacturer and type of tire.

[@simplysimple7628]

Since Ive bought my first set of michelin hydro edges back in the early 2000’s, Ive never bought another brand. Prior to that, I was pretty dam tire illiterate. Just bought what was affordable. But then I had a tire that was separating, and eventually had a blowout. Scariest sh!t ever while going 60mph on the highway. I don’t remember what brand it was but it wasn’t a michelin that’s for sure. Since that first set of Michelin tires, Ive never bought anything else. Even the difference in the ride is night and day.

I remember driving a 1970s Chevy Chevette. No air, no power anything. No power steering. And I had bias tires on it. I went to put new radial tires on and it was like a miracle. It’s as if I installed power steering. It was so much better in every way. Radial tires was a gigantic leap in performance and safety. Thank you for your video. Monster mechanic.

[@graham1034]

I used to work at a large tire warehouse and we always stored them stacked on top of one another, e.g. 3x3 stacked 4 or 5 high on pallets (varied depending on tire size). For out of season tires (e.g. winter tires in the summer) we'd stack the pallets directly on the pallet below in 50 foot high wobbly towers of tire pallets. So the tires at the bottom would have hundreds of pounds of weight resting on them. We'd occasionally come to work in the morning and find one of the towers had fallen over and we'd have to restack them. Additionally, all of our tires would arrive in containers, mostly from overseas (China, Japan, Thailand, Korea, etc). They would be "laced" together to fit the largest number per container. Since the transport takes months, they'd often come out warped and take a couple days to get back to a normal shape, especially if it was really hot out and they had been roasting in the sun for a while. AFAIK tire lacing is the standard way to transport tires as it's more efficient and they're much more stable. Works best for car tires. For tire stores, they only store tires on a rack for presentation or ease of access. Tires they aren't going to use right away will be stacked out back or offsite. When a shop has hundreds of tires they can't afford to have a massive area dedicated to racks of tires stored as shown in this video. The idea that a tire would be manufactured and then stored upright on a rack at the factory, in the shipping container, in the warehouse, on trucks, and at a tire store seems extremely unlikely.

Also about the balance: If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, it’s your front tires unbalanced. If you feel the vibration in pedals or the bottom of your car, rear tires out of balance. Also, road force machines can check if you have a serious problem with a tire, but they can’t balance your tire any differently. Also I would never try to save money on tires on a Toyota

If the rear is bad enough, you'll feel it in the steering too.. I had that once

[@dailydrivensedans4875]

And if tou have stiff suspension and low profile tires youll feel it every where and youll constantly be paranoid somethings wrong😅🫣

[@johntheaccountant5594]

There was an obsession in the early 2000s for low profile tyres. People don't seem to realise that: 1) the ride gets harder and often uncomfortably hard. 2) handling might be better but you then get more scrub on the tyres and they wear out much faster 3) they often bottom out on pot holes and damage the wheels (damage rims, crack the alloy) and I have even seen cases where it has damaged the chassis (VW was quite common).

[@bruceb5481]

Low profile tires are an abomination.

[@carlholland3819]

theyre also less fuel efficient, harder on suspension and transmission, and more expensive to replace thats why i run taller 14s on my prius instead of 15s

[@davidleiva1347]

For other than “racing” and aesthetics, they are a stupidity. They are more efficient, light, fast (electric cars improve mileage a lot with correct low profile tires).

Great videos as always AMD!

[@bear4759]

At the 9 minute mark:- hard tyres (I am from Downunder), wear out slower, are harsher to drive on, don't handle well in the wet, are prone to crack more in hotter climates, don't grip the road well soft tyres, wear out faster, are softer to drive on, handle better in the wet, retain the oil so they are less susceptible to cracking, grip the road better. I used to be a mechanic. Next time you want to buy cheap tyres and drive at the speed limit, just think this; all that is making an imprint on the road is 4 palm prints, that is all the tyre size is on the road! p.s. I love watching these vids, as I can never remember what those numbers mean

[@BartMan59]

I drive a 2006 Lexus LS430 and I am on my 2nd set of 's Discount Tire brand Yokohama YK740s and I LOVE them. IMHO, these Yokahamas rides are just as good as any high-priced Michelins.

[@reyjimenez1092]

Thanks for this video, a tire shop once told me a new tire could sit for up to 5 years in a warehouse and still have an other 5 years of life once mounted. They were just trying to sell there old inventory.

[@BillinSD]

Proper mounting is important. On Yokohama tires, the yellow dot is meant to align with the valve stem hole. It is easy to make wheels round and balanced but then the hole is drilled, the wheel is now lighter on that part of the wheel. The yellow dot is the heaviest part of the tire and when you combine them, the weights needed to balance the tire are significantly less. This is a great video, thanks!

[@LAactor]

Plus there's the red dot on some now and then there can be the mark on the rim from the manufacturer to state that would be the spot that matches up with the tire dot. So many things.

[@lewiskalinde6073]

Thank YOU for this new knowledge to me ! I worked at the garage for 3 years, none

[@mardamek]

Wow! That sounds like a factor F1 racing teams would consider or only elite car manufacturers (such as McLaren). Just didn't think this would be realistically relevant on most cars. So, I'm amazed to learn that. Thanks.

[@manuelsalvatierra2940]

Some have red dot, yellow dot, red and yellow dot, even blue strip (Pirelli). It always seems that it depends on the manufacturer what they mean. But they are marked for the heaviest, like you mentioned, but also the highest point of the tire, for radial runout.

[@jamesdodson9417]

Red dot supersedes the yellow dot so red on valve stem if no red dot yellow in valve stem

[@kitko33]

1. If a tire sits in proper storage (inside), it does not deterioriate. It's the exposure to elements and mostly UV light that makes rubber go 'bad'. But a 5 year old tire from storage will be perfectly good. 2. Car manufacturers often put tires made specificaly for them on their cars. The retail version of the tire that came on the car is likely to be different compared to the OEM tire - even if it sports the same name. There would be tiny differences in thread, compound, etc. but it will be a different tire. Just a set of Michelins and you're good. 3. In most Europe, winter tires are mandated from November to March. Which is why many people, myself included, have two sets of wheels - summer set and winter set. Tire shops would usually store them for you at a small fee. 4. The collateral benefit is that when they swap your wheels they will balance them. So you would always have balanced wheels - it adds like a $1 to the bill. 5. Another collateral benefit - you can easily rotate wheels between the axles. Front tires go to the rear one, and vice versa. Why? Front tires wear faster on a front wheel drive car (most cars). 6. ALWAYS follow the manufacturer's figures for tire pressure, maybe go 10% above. This results in even wear - the thread wears evenly and the tire lasts longer. 7. If you need to replace ONE tire that's been used for a couple of years... replace the other one on the axle too. Combining a new and worn tire on an axle will affect driving, braking, stability....

Thanks for pointing out an often overlooked fact about tire age. Old tires can be dangerous, even if there’s still plenty of tread. Most experts agree the safe life of a tire is about six years. Excellent video AMD!

[@rtflone]

Brand new never used tires dry rot over years sitting in a warehouse. Signs of dry rot are small cracks in the sidewalls. Reject tires with mfg dates older than 6 mos. Same for car batteries..

[@18_rabbit]

@@rtflone dry rot signs are not usually cracks in side wall but super fine cracks within the tread rubber

[@18_rabbit]

really depends on location/weather/conditions/sun. Big temp swings daily and/or daily driver vs eclusively highway driving, is a totally differnt lifespan for tires. In mild climates, good quality like for me, Michellin, last faaar longer than if in arizona e.g. or other hot areas. Same maybe with cold areas, ie big swings, etc. But yeah safety is usually a seven yr span, and by 10 it's getting late, even in the ideal place/situation. But it's not universal and so looking for dry rot, and feeling the flexiblity /hardening of the older tire is part of it. When in doubt, replace it of course. But my point is that it's not a universal rule of 6 or 7 yrs necessarily. But quality makes all the difference in how good it is at 4 yrs and 6 yrs, vs a lower quality tire. Same at age 10, IF in ideal climate and not daily driver

[@hawgbreath]

Great presentation! I have one comment though; your use of the term hard vs soft. It would be helpful and clearer to refer to hard or soft in reference to the rubber compound, stiffness regarding the sidewall strength and characteristics, and roughness regarding the ride quality. All of these terms combine to determine how long the tire will last and the comfort and safety factors of the tires.

But geeze, tires are a hot commodity. Looking forward to this one!

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Top notch video. Most people don't pay attention to the age of a tire and it creates the biggest problem with trailer tires and RV tires. They don't usually get driven nearly as many miles as your daily driver vehicle. People look at the tread and see plenty of tread depth but don't notice the sidewall cracking and dry rot. I drive truck and I tell my wife I can tell when summer has started by the number of people broke down on the side of the road for three top reasons. Blown out trailer or rv tires. Bad trailer bearings. Overheated engines. Very important to check your tires, bearings and cooling system to be ready for summer. So your family fun trip isn't spoiled.

Totally agree with you about if you're happy with your tires stick with them, if you're not, change them. My HiLux Vigo Champ came with Michelin tires, which lasted a long time, but I was unhappy with them for a long time. They were prone to squeaking when starting out, and when low-speed turning. And while I wouldn't put my driving style in Eco-Mode, I don't have that much of a lead foot either. I've since replaced them with a SE Asian brand tire and am much happier. Without changing my driving style, all the squeaks have gone away. I agree, tires make a huge difference.

Here in Canada most people know all-season tires are really 3 season tires 😉 If you live in a climate that only sees a tiny bit of snow in winter, all-weather or 3 peak rated tires (usually all terrain) are a good consideration 👍

The "all season" designation should be retired.

[@davidhoulden5791]

I remember when ALL Season first came out in the 70's, they worked great in the snow. Something changed...my guess is the move to low profile tires has resulted in a tire with less flexibility and therefore not great in snow. Just my observation. I use All Weather, works for my driving.

Here in Canada they are known as “no season” tires. lol.

Thank you for making such a thorough and down to earth video. I learned a lot from it.

My Camry XSE surpasses 125, not limited to 117. Found out from a friend....On another note, replaced those soft stock tires with Cooper Discoverer Enduramax and they are great!

Also in my experience oem tires seem to get punctured easier. I have noticed this on cars, pick up's, suv's, motorcycles and atv's. Switching to a decent aftermarket tire seems to prevent most flats.

Incredible overview! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing, this is such great information; just what I needed to know prior to buying tires.

Recent subscriber and really enjoying your channel. Great video. Perhaps some topics for a part two on this topic. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the current performance of present day run flats. They seem to be becoming more and more prevalent. I have eliminated from new care shopping all cars that come with run flats based on horror stories I have heard over the years. Would also like to hear your thoughts on the practice of many manufacturers to not provide spare tires and your suggestions on how best to deal with on the road tire failure with no spare.
