Better Ways to Buy Tires

Better Ways to Buy Tires Investing in tires generally is difficult to understand. It's so hard to know where to start, and especially if you're new to buying tires you might not know where to begin. I'm sure this asset will help you purchase your next set of tires. This is the kind of guide we wish we would of had the first time we bought tires. Step 1: Closely examine the tires you have on your car at this time. Examine the volume, brand, model #'s etc... All this information is easily read off the sidewall of the tire. If you don't understand what it all means, that's ok. Be sure you jot it down on a piece of paper for reference though. You should also confirm that you actually need new tires. Step 2: Call up our featured tire shop or the tire shop of your choice and say: Hi, I own a 2003 Honda Civic and I'd like to see what you have in stock that would fit my car? (replace your make and model obviously) Make sure you have pen and...

Fw: What We're Testing This Week: 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6

  From: Mike Levine Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 12:02 AM Subject: What We're Testing This Week: 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 Is Ford's new 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 worth its $750 premium over the company's new 5.0-liter V-8 and does it perform as well as the brawny 6.2-liter V-8? That's what we plan to find out this week during a challenging 2,000 mile road test. The innovative small displacement 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 is rated at 365 horsepower and 420 pounds-feet of torque. It's the first application of gasoline direct-injection twin-turbo technology in a half-ton pickup. On paper, EcoBoost outperforms the 360 horsepower, 380 pounds-feet 5.0 in both gas mileage and power. It's rated to tow up to 11,300 pounds, the same as the 411 horsepower, 434 pounds-feet 6.2. As we discovered in February, the 5.0 is no slouch. We loved its performance in the 2011 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 we drove. The 6.2-liter V-8 is an off-road monster in the ...

Fw: Study: Female buyers not considering many domestic vehicles

  From: Chris Shunk Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 3:02 PM Subject: Study: Female buyers not considering many domestic vehicles Filed under: Car Buying We don't have a demographic breakdown for Autoblog's core audience to share, but we can tell you that the overwhelming majority of our readers are men. That said, women tend to be very specific about which vehicles they choose, and according to R.L. Polk, Asian automakers ranging from Toyota to Kia are winning over women on a grand scale. Take a look at the graphic above, which shows the top five vehicle selections by (non-Caucasian) ethnic group. The Toyota Camry takes the top spot, scoring the number one spot in five ethnic groups. The Corolla , Civic , Accord and CR-V round out the top five, which makes sense due to the fact that those five vehicles are typically among the top-selling passenger vehicles each month. But where are the domestics? The bottom of the chart shows the top domestic model as ch...

Fw: The Ultimate in Super-Duty Expedition Vehicles

  From: Mike Levine Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 1:32 PM Subject: The Ultimate in Super-Duty Expedition Vehicles By Mark Williams We've seen some well-built Super Duties in our day, but this one had us stopping in our tracks at the 2011 Overland Expo in Amado, Ariz. Built by Global Expedition Vehicles, this UXV 550 starts with a Ford F-550 crew-cab dually frame and makes quite a few body and suspension modifications, putting military-grade airbags at all four corners with military spec rims and tires as well. Body camper construction can be customized to order. This S84 model includes a small dining area, an oversized Teak wood bathroom, an overhead sleeping deck, all the kitchen amenities and two large swing-out windows. The outer body uses bullet-train and marine-grade technologies to mold, support reinforce the structure and skin. Under the hood is a 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine. Two full-size spare tires are in back, with a small winch-operated bik...

Ram and Mopar will be sponsoring the Traxxas Racing team, led by Mike and Mark Jenkins, as well as the Menzies Motorsports team owned by Steve Menzies. Under the partnership, Ram will be the official vehicle of the series, and a Mopar Ram Runner will serve as the official pace truck. Fans at the races will have the chance to experience an off-road test drive. "From the drag strip to the circle track, the Mopar brand has a proud heritage in racing," Mopar President and CEO Pietro Gorlier said. "We are excited to extend our presence into off-road racing, where many of our Mopar fanatics reside." Mo...
