      Can you do a video of how to lower your car in steps
      Like I got wheels and Coilovers
      And center role joints
      Need tiers and don’t know the steps to figuring watt do first to
      Find out watt tier I can squeeze and won’t rub so just like a step-by-step video on what actually goes down first to last including bushings and putting wheels on and finding the measurement for the tire and rolling fenders to where do I start ?

      Here's the thing. It is impossible to tell if low profile tires are low on air or even flat. Especially at night. For less than $50 I have screw-on caps. They have accurate temperature and pressure sensor valve caps.
      They transmit real time info to a solar-powered head unit. NO WIRES or internal sensors!!!
      You can even rotate your tires...just keep the valve caps in the same place.
      Batteries in valve caps last a couple years and are user-replaceable.
      All sorts of customizable alarms can be set by the user. Amazon baby!

    Its good info to have when shopping for what you're looking for vs what they and yourself have available.. Me personally, doesn't affect everyone but for Tires: same price as my local tire shop and around the net prices. As for wheels, sadly you carry only Viper sizes for the 6x114.3 and thats only in Forgedstar brand and I'm not planning on hub swapping or buying bolt pattern kits..

    Have a question: My car has 205/45/R17 88V rated tire(same size as originals). The tire pressure sticker on the car, shows 39 PSI front and rear. I don't have the original tire brand on the car but have Hankook Ventus v2 Concept2 with the above tire size. 1) The issue is that in the wet, when I take off from red light, traction control lights comes up as tires start to lose traction. I am not aggressive at all, just regular take off. 2) Turning left at speed of around 20 MPH will make the car skid a bit. The tread life is about 50% on all 4 tires. 4 wheel Alignment was done few months ago. What could be the issue? Too much pressure, too little or just bad tire brand? Thanks!

    An engineering explained video is about Michelins keeping their traction longer. I prefer Pirellis, after studying the April issue of Consumer Reports magazine at a library every year. The P4s are good for the longest tread life, and the Scorpion Verde is better for a quiet ride and more traction, maybe lasting 70,000 miles. See the new Mazda tire sizes- any thinner for height and a pothole is more likely to damage the tire or rim. Consumer Reports recommends a General brand tire for a tight budget- stay away from total crap cheap tires that might kill you.
