The driver allegedly exceed speed limit. Do vehicle have speed rated tires?
Hot weather and excess speed can be bad for tire. Hope he keep them properly inflated. I think tire should be minimum V speed rated. ALso, tire should have jointless nylon edge cover, and jointless cap ply and be steel belted radial. and filled with nitrogen, not plain air. |

I think tire should be minimum V speed rated. The V rating is for 150 mph. Was he going that fast ? The speed rating is marked on the side of the tyre and indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry the load corresponding with its load index. Example 91V. "T" rated tyres are designed to carry their load up to 118 MPH "H" rated tyres are designed to carry their load up to 130MPH "V" rated tyres are designed to carry their load no faster than 150 MPH Tyres marked with a "W" and "Y" are designed to go faster than 150 MPH but no faster then 169 & 186 MPH respectively. The "W" & "Y" ratings usually appear with the ZR rating. The "ZR" rating without a "W" or "Y" indicates 150 MPH. http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-batteries-help Graham |

Where am i gonna get nitrogen to be put in my tires?. Hell - if we had speed limits under 60 and enforced them, tire quality wouldn't even matter. That's the answer. THINK |

"plain air" is 80% nitrogen. If one even buys into the crap that nitrogen will somehow stay in the tire better than other elements (the other main elements being Oxygen and Argon, both of which have a higher atomic number than Nitrogen), then repeatedly inflating your tires on "plain air" will eventually displace all of the other elements and leave you with 99.9% Nitrogen anyway! Of course, that's if you buy into the N crap in the first place. |

Would inflating tires with helium help with gas mileage? |

The reason for filling a tire with nitrogen has little to do with the oxygen and argon and a lot to do with the H2O vapor in plain air. O2, N2, and Ar basically behave as ideal gases under normal temperatures and pressures. H2O does not. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |

THINK Hey, stupid: it was the governor's vehicle. Regardless of where you set the speed limit or how rigorously it is enforced against us serfs, the governor can and will still do as he pleases and nothing will be done to him legally. As you are so fond of saying: THINK!! Then again, how the hell can anyone who paints his car with spray cans do any thinking???? -- "Hell i once painted a whole car with a bunch of spray cans." --Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend, 3/29/06 Ref:http://tinyurl.com/qqaeq Message ID: |
