Question 42
Posted by kendrick on March 16, 2005
WHY IS THERE A TIRE SHORTAGE FOR TANKER TRAILERS IF I ORDER A NEW TRAILER THE ONLY ONE I CAN GET ARE MICHELIN,OR YOKOHAMA
THANKS
There is an overall globa shortage of commercial truck tires because of the huge current demand for tractors and trailers. We have initiated action where we are producing tires off-shore for certain trailer applications. You will see soon an increase in tire availability.

How many PSI can a tire gain when going from cold temps to hot temps?
If you put 100 psi into a commercial truck tire and it is 70 degrees F and then start running the truck, after 20 minutes, if you measure the air pressue it would be 114 PSI.
For every 10 degrees increase in ambient temperature, the air pressure will increase about 2 psi

My car pulls to the right everytime I have to get on my brakes, i.e. to avoid other cars in traffic. I’ve taken my car to two different shops and they say nothing is wrong but something is wrong. They’ve mentioned that it might be a caliper sticking but still come with the conclusion nothing is wrong. I cannot believe that the car only does this when I’m driving it. Any suggestions?
Please take your car to a Goodyear Gemini dealer and they will be happy to diagnose your specific issue.

What are the dimples on the sidewall of my Goodyear G124 Tire.
The diimples are sidewall wear indicators. When the sidewall wear indicators disappear, that indicates it is probably dtime to purchase a new tire.
