For Anyone Very Familiar With The Nokian Tire Lineup, And Differences by Bob[_53_]
Hello, Picking a tire can really drive one crazy. I realize that it is all a compromise, but would appreciate thoughts on the following, please: Have had Nokian WR G2 tires in the past, and have never had a better tire for snow or ice. Wear pretty quickly, though.

Nitrogen for tires. by JR[_8_]
A guy I know said some 'special tires' run low/flat in this very cold weather. He said when he was in Alaska they would put some Nitrogen, a little bit of Nitrogen, in the tires and that helped to keep the tires from running low.

Tire Question ? by Bob[_53_]
Hello, My new 2014 Subaru Outback came with Bridgestone Dueler oem tires. 225/65-17 I want to replace them with a "better" rated tire for snow/ice here in New England conditions, but several I am looking at do not have a "65," only "60". Is this difference meaningful ? Why ?

2004 F-150 5.4 is possessed... by N8N[_2_]
Friend's dad just bought a used F-150, 2004, 5.4 Triton engine. When he got it he knew it'd been wrecked and repaired. When he got it he had two keys but only one key fob. Also the keys did not operate the lock cylinder in the driver's door, which I offered to fix for him. I was going to pop...

Toyota carburetor (Aisan) question by [email protected]
I have a 1986 Corolla FWD 4-door, and the carburetor is missing the coil spring (Toyota #21865-15230) from the vacuum-operated auxiliary accelerator pump (AAP), which uses a rubber diaphram instead of a piston. Nobody stocks this spring, and no dealer remembers any details about it. Does this...

DOHC, SOHC, NOHC Performance benefits, or hype? by phaeton
Seems that you hear a lot of buzz in the auto world about how many overhead cams something has. I hear a *LOT* of the buying public, the ones that I would essentially label as 'sheep' (no offense to them, though), talking about overhead camshafts as a 'performance' feature. These would be the same...

Tire pressure Monitoring System - Third Party Add-On ? by Bob[_53_]
Hello, Son just bought a new 2015 Subaru Outback. They have a tire pressure monitoring system of sorts, but really rudimentary. If a tire activates, an icon, and I imagine a chime, goes off. No way to know which tire.
