Fixing a Flat Tire
There aren't too many things in life which are more annoying than a flat tire when you least expect it, but then again who really expects a flat. Maybe the bloke driving around on four bald tires is expecting one, but he probably doesn't want one either. Although I will admit that one day on my way to get new tires I tried, and successfully I might add, to "burn off" a tire. Luckily for me though I was within one block of the tire shop, and even more serendipitously the police never caught me on the way there since I would stop for every red light and stop sign only to "light up" the rear wheels upon take off, sometimes reaching 75mph on the speedometer before the tires started to catch and I would end up at a simple slow 30mph.
Most people though aren't out there trying to lose a tire on purpose. If you're like most people you want to drive on your tires as long as conceivable. But should the unexpected happen some long lonely night and the world seems to want you to simply stare out at the stars on the dark moonless night in the middle of nowhere, it would behoove you to have a slight understanding of the workings of your spare tire, wherever it may be stowed, since cell phones don't always work everywhere. At this point fate might be telling you to slow down. Alas, this isn't usually the case, so give heed, and have some advice.
First and foremost in the changing of a spare is to c...

...our bad tire. Sometimes people can't afford the new tire yet or somehow think they can wait awhile. Simply remember that a spare is really only for short term use. Don't do what I did and drive from San Francisco down to San Diego on a spare simply because of being cut rate minded. It didn't turn out well.
I know there will still be people who just won't change a tire, so for you non-changers remember to pack a can of Fix-A-Flat or its equivalent. Directions for Fix-A-Flat is on the can. In essence, stay safe, remember half the battle is being prepared and ready for it. Happy trails and safe treading.
		Mattie, the sole owner of a shop named "Jesus is Lord Used Tires", was accustomed to changing and rotating tires everyday. One day she received a customer who had driven over some cracked glass pieces on the side of the road. Mattie took standard procedures by lifting the car, taking out the tire, and finally dipping it to see if air bubbles would come up. "I'm sorry to tell you, hon, these are bad. I can tell you right now these aren't going to hold a patch. They're shot through." (page 40). Mattie was exceptionally nice to Taylor and told her to come inside and have some coffee. After drinking a cup of coffee and giving Turtle some juice Mattie came up with the idea that Taylor could work for her. Taylor being the one who doesn't like tires in the first place accepted the generous offer, but went almost nuts with the huge tire wall that surrounded her. Taylor was a good worker and didn't have any real complaints about her position, but she still had a fear of exploding tires. This fear was noticeable to Mattie. Mattie being the rough-tough but nice person, asked Taylor nicely to follow her, when suddenly Mattie threw a 5-gallon Jerry can at her. "Knocked the wind out of you, but it didn't kill you, right?" "That's twenty-eight pounds of water. Twenty-eight pounds of air is about what you put into a tire. When it hits you, that's what it feels like." (page 81).
Have you ever been driving and have someone pull out in front of you or drive slow? If so this would be relevant to you just like it is to me, simply because my pet peeve is other people's terrible driving skills. It drives me insane when I’ll be driving and have a car pull out when there is no other car behind me for miles, and then they drive slow. When someone does that horrible deed, that makes me hate them, I just wish I could tell them off!
average, which increases repair costs. Clearly, owning a car is a huge financial burden. Why take it

Today’s society appears to be constantly on the go. People seem to be pulled in multiple directions at once. Individuals never appear to have enough time to complete tasks that continually accumulate. It can be difficult to criticize someone that tries to make the most out every minute. Unfortunately, some of today’s drivers show a lack of judgment and trying to perform other tasks, while behind the wheel. People may feel this is best use time while getting to a destination. Occasionally, the small amount of time that people are trying to gain results in a time consuming accident. With modern conveniences that are geared toward an on the go public, individuals appear to be too preoccupied to driving safely.
Every time you are driving there is always someone else that does something that makes you lose your patience, whether they cut you off or drive so slow a turtle could pass it. I understand that it is safer to drive slow but you should drive at the speed limit, not twenty mph less like some people tend to do, that’s why speed limits were created. Whoever can drive behind a slow driver without losing at least a small amount of patience is a person who is very patient and i congratulate them on that because slow drivers are one of my pet
Who doesn’t want new things every week? However, why buy a car? more than what is needed. This can result in a serious problem. call it “overspending”.
You are a driving thought the neighborhood on your way back home from work, when you reach a stop sign, so you naturally stop, however the car behind you doesn't quite stop and keeps going full speed towards you and inevitably crashes into you, ruining your car as well as setting you back in money not only for the car but from your insurance company as your rate will go up. This is the reality of today's road as many drivers whether new or old have picked up dangerous driving habits.
buying tires is a necessity we have to find a way to make them excited
Knowing how to drive a car myself, I can’t expect an accident to occur. It just happens without your knowledge and sometimes without your fault too. It’s better to take precautions just in case such a thing happens. This will surely help you financially for the repairs of the vehicle.
There aren't many things in life that are more annoying than getting a flat tire when it's least expected. Not only are tires super expensive and a pain in the butt, they are also bad for our environment. If one day, you are out and about running errands, and you get a flat tire, you would have to go through the trouble of locating a spare and changing it. If you are unable to change the tire yourself, you will have to call the AAA Road Service. When a spare tire is placed on a car it is not meant to be driven on for a certain amount of miles.
One of the most important part of any car is the tires. Tires are in constant contact with the road, and like the Goodyear commercial says, “So much is riding on your tires.”
With convenience comes cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car. Firstly learning to drive can be prohibitive, with lessons often out of a lot of peoples budgets. Once you have passed your test buying a car can also prove expensive. It is often the case we have to buy cheap second hand cars as new cars are very expensive. Sometimes this is fine and you can have a reliable car, but other times you pick one up that’s not been well maintained and can cost you a fortune in repairs and keeping it on the road.
