5400 Old Seward Highway Anchorage, AK 99518
We have all seen the mysterious letters and numbers on our tires, but we may not have given them much thought. However, when it is time to replace the tires, it is helpful to know what tires are best for our vehicle. The correct tire pressure is also present on the tires, which is handy when we check the pressure.
The first letter signifies the class of the tire. "P" stands for "Passenger", "LT" means "Light Truck" and so on.
These are just a few of the essentials you'll need to have in your own roadside emergency box.
Testing the power in your car battery with a simple voltmeter is easy if you know how. All you will need to get the job done safely is some heavy-duty work gloves, protective glasses, a wire brush, and your voltmeter.
The car engine and lights have to be off before working around the battery. Open the hood and check for any signs of corrosion on the battery terminals.
Weight? Winter? What, exactly, does the "W" in the name of the motor oil stand for? A lot of people think it stands for "weight," but a lot of people are wrong. The "W" actually does stand for winter. This is because engines need different viscosity ratings, depending on the temperature outside, so the manufacturer is letting you know that this is a winter-grade motor oil.
If you get a flat tire, you have two options for fixing it. First, you can opt for a compact spare that is often called a donut. Alternatively, you can opt for a full-size spare. The full-size spare is generally just an extra tire that will match the others already on the vehicle.
Once the matching tire has been put on, there are generally no restrictions as to how you can driver the vehicle.
Proper tire maintenance is key to helping them to last for their full lifespan. If you have noticed poor traction when the roads are in good condition, it could be a problem with your tires. Worn tires have poor traction that could cause you to lose control or skid.
You might also need to replace your tires if they have uneven wear.
Your vehicle’s maintenance should include routine checks of the humble windshield wiper blades. They perform an invaluable service to your ability to drive. The wipers’ rubber material, as a natural substance, will crack and wear away over time.
Their exposure to the sun combined with the continual movement of clearing away rain, snow, and debris requires them to be replaced from time to time.
