Taking time to understand tire markings can help to keep you safe on the road! For instance, tires are specifically manufactured for different load indexes. The two-digit number listed on the tire correlates to the safest capacity in pounds and kilograms. The number is directly located before the speed rating of the tire which is equally as important to your safety.

The speed rating will indicate the maximum speed that the tire is manufactured to handle safely. The range can be from 75 mph to 186 mph. The tread width and wheel diameter markings help in the tire selection for…

Your headlights are a part of your vehicle that need to be maintained just like every other aspect of your vehicle. Unfortunately, many people neglect to realize this, and it can greatly affect their visibility while on the road as well as the ability of other people to see you.
