Whether you regularly commute long distances or your daily travel occurs within a limited area, choosing the right tires for your vehicle is critical. Every driver should keep in mind the differences between summer and all-season tires when making a tire purchase.

The main difference between all-season and summer tires is that all-season tires offer at least moderate traction benefits in all weather conditions while summer tires are specifically designed for enhanced performance on hot pavement and during heavy summer rain events.

Several publications publish the load-carrying capacity of vehicles. Consumer Report, for example, covers nearly every vehicle on the road. When looking at purchasing a new vehicle, especially one that you want to haul cargo in, you must be aware of the load carrying capacity of the vehicle so you can make an intelligent decision as to your purchase.

The key factor when looking at your load carrying capacity is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). You can find the GVWR on the door jamb under the tire section. Subtract the weight of the vehicle form the GVWR, and you have…

While you can be as careful as possible with how you drive and keeping the interior of the car clean, it is nearly impossible to prevent your shoes from tracking in dirt and debris every time you enter the vehicle.

Improved automotive knowledge leads to better buying decisions. Today, we want to heighten your knowledge of front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive transmissions.

Think of front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive as opposites. While front-wheel transmissions transfer engine power to a vehicle's front wheels, their rear-wheel drive counterparts move that horsepower to back wheels. As a result, front-wheel drive pulls while rear-wheel drive pushes. Those characteristics lead to handling differences.

There are many aspects of your vehicle that keep it functioning and running well. One of these centers on the engines cooling and radiator system. Failure to properly maintain and service this important part of your vehicle can leave your car broken down and you stranded on the side of the road.

The purpose of your car's engine and radiator system is to circulate antifreeze/coolant to transfer heat away from the engine. If the system is not performing as it should, then your car's engine can heat to temperatures hot enough to damage and warp engine parts…
