How Kumho’s Crugen HP71 EV tire handles the demands of an EV SUV
One concern many EV owners have is how often they replace their tires. EVs tend to be heavier, because of the weight of the battery packs, which can increase how fast tires wear out. Consumers don’t want to replace tires more than usual. That's why we equipped an Audi Q4 eTron with Kumho’s Crugen HP71 EV tire. You’d be surprised what a huge difference EV tires make. For example, the Audi Q4 eTron is very quiet, and road noise reduction in tires is huge for EV customers.

If you wait, you may find yourself stuck in the middle of the road, with no ...

The future of TPMS technology
Переглядів 30919 годин тому
If you’ve done a lot of tire changes throughout the years, you’ve also likely done a ton of TPMS replacement and relearns. Currently, TPMS technology relies on radio waves to transmit data. While this is standard, unfortunately, it means the radio spectrum the sensors use can be “noisy” with other nearby devices causing interference. It’s like someone interrupting you mid-sentence. However, Blu...

Will AI-powered virtual sensors transform tire maintenance?

Take a look at the next vehicle that rolls into one of your bays. If it was manufactured in the past 5-10 years, I'm willing to bet you'll be able to pick out a sensor or two staring back at you rather quickly. However, there's a significant gap in this technology when it comes to the tires. Sure, TPMS certainly prevalent and helpful, but it fails to alert the driver to attributes like tread de...

One thing that has remained consistent through the years is that customers complain that the vehicle or...
Navigating the challenges of performing alignments
Переглядів 12614 днів тому
What is stopping you from doing more alignments? Let me guess, it's a combination of factors like billable time, equipment and market rates for alignments. Essentially, you are struggling to generate profit from alignments, try to stay competitive with pricing and have outdated alignment equipment that just makes the issue worse. Let’s talk about how to dig yourself out of this alignment hole.

Don’t estimate when it comes to parking brake adjustments

The parking or emergency brake has two crucial functions. First, it must hold the vehicle on an incline and second, stop it within a specific distance if the hydraulic brakes fail. These standards, established by the Department of Transportation, must be met with minimal force. Let’s discuss a couple of different components of parking brakes to find out the best practices for adjusting them.

    Bluetooth also uses 'radio waves'. Current TPMS uses 315 and 433 MHz band frequencies, Bluetooth is also based on wireless transmission of data but on different frequencies. The only difference may be in the data transmission protocol being used and it's resistance to interference.

    After punctured the tire (pothole) I was in need to install spare tire, so I could only get in that situation 225/50/17 tire (other three are 215/50/17). One wider tire installed on the rear right position. I'm in the process of finding the same 215/50/17 tire, and occasionally driving with one wider tire (and with different pattern), and I didn't notice any change in control, balance, braking, also in 6th gear on highway. Do I really need to match one wider tire ASAP? What are the symptoms of driving with one tire wider 10mm than others on the system? Thanks.

    In Australia road side assistance packages are crap, this is manly because worker are nor allowed to fix a simple puncture. This could be a lie but a worker has stated companies do not want to accept legal liability if anything goes wrong after they repair punctures. In the end its just a profit intiatives so that tyre shops don't lose money on simple puncture repairs.

    hi, UK tech here, nobody does alignments over here [unless you have had a suspension damaging crash], tyres will last long enough to easily outweigh the cost of a glorified tracking check... same for the US oil-change regime, we only change oil once a year, or up to 25,000 miles...

    Can you help?!!! My brother a man in his 40's got a mini 6 weeks ago and 4 weeks from getting it one of his front tyres bubbled. Turns out the back tyre had bubbled and they replaced it before handing the car over saying it was road safe. It took 2 wks for the manager to come back to him and in that time the other front tyre bubbled. 3 of the 4 tyres all bubbled so my brother thought it must be a fault with the tyres. No the manager said it must be how my brother drives the car and he couldn't prove either way. That night my brother had a local garage look at them and they said the tyres had bubbled as they were both perished. My brother was/is mad and called the sales manager again who is still saying it's not there issue that nothing was noted in the inspection before handover. Please tell me how it's possible for 2 tyres deemed road safe to become perished and bubble in 4 weeks. The car was at the showroom for some time before my brother bought it and thinks it's caused them to dry out. He didn't buy locally and can't drive the car in its condition to the place he got it. Is this possible for tyres to perish after passing road safe checks only 4 weeks after?? Surely the car wouldn't have passed an mot the 4 weeks before he got it if that was all the time it took? There must have been signs. Is there ways the cracks were coved up so the place he bought the car didn't have to replace 3 tyres instead of 1? It's all a bit of a mess. My brother takes pride in his cars and looks after them. He's gutted as it's ruined the car for him.
