 That trade offer? Thornbirds, AKA Thornturds to anyone who doesn't like ultra lovely poser tires. Oh and they have this much tread remaining:  Broke dicks with lovely bald, hourglassed, coned mud tires that they want way too much money for. The jeep people on facebook world never changes.

I'm shocked that a type of vehicle popular with the reddest of necks results in unintelligent correspondence or poor technical competency. Shocked, I say!

They're still good though, plenty of "side tread" left. That's how it works.

Oh I'm not at all surprised, there are a lot of illiterate/inbred/otherwise handicapped fuckstains in the offroad community. If I took a shot every time I saw "a little bald in the middle, side lugs r great though" on a jeep forum, facebook trade/sell post, craigslist post, or at a swapmeet, I'd probably die of alcohol poisoning within minutes. Same goes for coned-to-gently caress tires (aka some idiot didn't do an alignment after their lift.)

Speaking of Joops: Also saw this turd on base.  This is presumably the civic he killed before managing to make an HHR even more ugly and broken.  And finally my favorite Seattle off-ramp. There's supposed to be two arrow signs where those circles are. They get fixed every two months or so, then another drunk dude plows through them a weekend or two later.

Where 50% of the tire is bald, but not in the middle, on one side only. So it's like the top inch of an icecream cone cut off from the rest.

I'm sure you know this but sidewall pressure and door sticker pressure are both probably wrong if you have a different size tire than stock.

A few track days wore the outside shoulders down close to the wear bars while leaving the center and inside shoulders in much better shape. Swapped 'em, now I can do a couple more track days! Hm... should probably just get some adjustable camber plates.

Johnny Aztec posted:How do you figure proper pressure in that instance? Draw a chalk line on the tire and drive it around the block. If the line is rubbing off equally you're good, if it's rubbing off only in the middle you're over inflated, under inflated if it's rubbing off on the outsides only. If it rubs off one side or the other you have alignment issues.

Johnny Aztec posted:How do you figure proper pressure in that instance? Start with an approx figure for your tire size you find on an internet forum dedicated to that platform, then fine tune with the method Geoj gave. Basically, tire width is going to increase contact patch, so is diameter. So in either case you're going to end up with less ground pressure and therefore need less pressure in the tire. Some kinds of tires (super chunky thick mud tires, for instance) are going to need more or less than your calculations would predict based on the stiffness and natural shape of the tire carcass. Radial vs bias ply will affect things a bit too.

I made a calculator using tire pressure, tire size, vehicle weight, and weight distribution to calculate tire deflection. Reverse those equations and plug in a tire size and it'll spit out a new tire pressure. It makes a few assumptions about rubber compound and tire patch shape, but it gets into the ballpark. When I changed my tire from 235mm to 265mm, I found out I needed to change my tire pressure from 35 psi to 29 psi to get the same chord deflection. But note that you tire patch size will remain nearly identical for a given pressure regardless of tire size within reason. This assumption doesn't work for harder tires like truck or tractor tires.

Funnily enough I just read something about this in the camping and caravan magazine, to get the correct tyre pressures for a motor home the owner got the corner weights and called the manufacturer of the tyre. They got an instant answer of something like 44rr 39fr where the motor home manufacturer recommended a pressure higher than the sidewall max and the salesroom recommended sidewall max, i.e. 80psi.

That's a drat good point. The tire maker put a lot of man-decades into designing those tires, simulating how they work on the road under all conditions, and testing them under all conditions, they would know pretty well what pressure to run if you have weights to give them.

All the general guidelines for tire pressure also go right out of the window with race tires. I've had the exact same size tire on the same car need anywhere from 23psi to 48psi when using different manufacturers tires (R compound tires from Hoosier, Khumo, etc., or super-high performance "street" tires like Dunlop Star Specs vs. Bridgestone RE71R).

 That's what I've got going on in the front of my Grand Cherokee. Both sides are similar, I'm not sure if it's cupping, feathering or heel and toe. I'm planning on replacing the tie rods, control arms, everything and starting over with stuff that's NOT completely rusted together.

Just read this somewhere:quote:Actually the real reason the battery is under the rear seat is simple! The battery is located in the center of the car which means GM saves money by using shorter wiring harnesses. You don't need to go from the front of the car all the way to the trunk with every single wire. Instead of 30 feet of wire you can do this now with 15 feet of wire. Mulitple that by every car built and you have major savings. Do you think GM really cares about an 80 pound battery under the hood of a 2000 pound car? And just laughed at how something could write that, talk about math, and not realize how 'length' works. Or how there isn't really much of any wiring in the back of a car.
