Inflate Tires To The Pressure Shown On The Tire's Sidewall.

            

Inflate tires to the pressure shown on the tire's sidewall.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- The pounds-per-square-inch figure on the side of the tire is the maximum pressure that the tire can safely hold, not the automaker's recommended pressure, which provides the best balance of braking, handling, gas mileage, and ride comfort.
- That figure is usually found on a doorjamb sticker, in the glove box, or on the fuel-filler door.
- Perform a monthly pressure check when tires are cold or after the car has been parked for a few hours.

Misconception Of Tire Bursting If Pressure Exceeds

                
Misconception Of Tire Bursting If Pressure Exceeds

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
- The max press is not a measure of the tire's burst pressure.
- It is actually a measure of the pressure needed in the tire to carry the maximum load the car can handle.
- A new tire won't burst with even 3 times more than the max press.

My Tire Is Covered By My Vehicle Manufacturer's Warranty - Including Punctures And Cuts


Some say,"My tire is covered by my vehicle manufacturer's warranty, including punctures and cuts."

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

Cheaper And More Profitable Comebacks On-The-Car Lathe



New rotors prevent comebacks and are cheaper and more profitable than an on-the-car lathe


THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Make sure to have the air pressure checked on a regular basis.

- Under-inflated tires wear out faster and your vehicle uses more gas as a result of the increased rolling resistance.

Save the Mother Nature


Nature has provided us with the best possible things to make our life easy and wonderful! But are we really kind to Mother Nature??

With the increasing heat in the atmosphere, we are now facing the consequences of global warming. We are ultimately responsible for disturbing nature to such an extent and finally we would be in danger because of this.

Today, the level of pollution has been reached to such an extent that there is no doubt it will take our lives off if we let it grow like this. So, not for anything thing else, but for our own selves, it is our duty to save nature.

If we really want to save our nature, majorly we should focus on two things; limited and wise use of natural resources and maximum recirculation of the things. Things can be recycled right from carry bags to automobiles and its spare parts.

Now let us see in what ways you can recycle the things. Share every small idea here with all of us that will be beneficial ultimately to all of us…
