@@MetalDeathGoat1 So you need both a good brain, and good tires. But thinking about it, you need multiple good brains as others on the road could cause accidents involving you. The list of "items" you need could go on forever. Might as well have a catch all term, might I propose "Common Sense"?
@The Great Greenman Whut. I think you meant to say " Dumbass kids that ride bald streets on 24's on a truck their parents pay for and only lift the front are likely to cause accident." ^Fixed.
KID SAID COMMON SENSE HAHAHAHAH in what world is the science behind tires, g force due to acceleration, turning braking, any bit common sense lmfao. This is what happens when you're so fucking dumb you dont even know what common sense is. You just say it to get likes LOOOL.
I don't know how much you drive, but getting new tires every year is excessive. I personally don't live in my car and just recommend measuring your tire tread as an indicator for buying new tires. Of course if someone likes to do burnouts in their sports car then every year may make sense.
I work in a garage and the amount of people who come in that don’t even know how to put air in their own tires astonishes me. I’ve seen people come in with no tread on any of their tires and wanting a tire rotation. Or wanting me to check if their still good. You would think it’s common sense when tires don’t look like tires anymore it’s time to change them? I guess not smh
G you ain’t lying lmfao. It’s extra sad when you see a full grown man come in and ask for air 🤣 dude take your ass to the gas station and use the air machine there 😭😭
I would say most people aernt care people but that's not really an excuse. Basic car ownership should be taught before handing over a driver's license. Some people don't even know how to pump their own gas. It's insane. Yet we trust these people out on the road.
My dad and I used to skid out intentionally when we could and practice controlling it. It saved me more than once when hitting flooded areas of the interstate
*This is hardly of any concern when you consider the lack of qualified drivers on the road, because of America's disdain for education. At least 90% of licensed drivers are unable to do much more than **_operate the controls_** of a vehicle, and they **_believe_** that is "driving". When faced with a situation that elementary driving-instruction neglected to prepare them for, they panic. SKILLED DRIVERS SAVE LIVES and avoid accidents, and a skilled driver knows the condition of their tires and what performance to expect from them **_at the very least_** of the things they know about how to handle the vehicle.* _Knowing how to get a car out of a drift without hook-sliding (aka "a tank-slapper") is called driving._ _Knowing how to modulate throttle when negotiating wheelspin on a slippery surface is called driving._ _Knowing how to modulate braking without locking-up the wheels when you don't have ABS is called driving._ _Knowing how to sense the feedback from the vehicle to feel when you have a tire going low, or have a wheel-alignment problem, is called driving._ _Knowing what a "traction circle" is and how to estimate it on-the-fly while on the road, is called driving._ _Knowing how to drive with a manual transmission properly without thinking about it is called driving._ *Otherwise you are only "manipulating the controls in a hope for a favorable result", and that is NOT driving.*
Saddest part are retards like you pretending to know all about this, yet this is literally the first time your dumbass has ever heard anything like this LOOL
I always tell my peeps check your tire pressure and or rotate them or change them soon especially during rain seasons. All I get is "oh yeah ill do it soon" a week later they crash because of their bad tires. Glad they are ok no serious injuries
I've been raised with using a penny and Lincoln's head. It's worked for me for years, I'll continue to use it, and I recommend all my customers the same
dest151 I drive normally at 70-80mph. If it’s raining really hard I slow down because of visibility. Also you need to know your car. If you drive a small lighter weight car with small tires and small width you’ll have less traction then a car with larger tires. Both my cars have new tires but perform differently because of the wheel size.
boostedmaniac Veritas is an unreliable joke. James O’Keefe destroyed his credibility with the ACORN and NPR “exposé,” when it came out he used selective editing to misrepresent what was actually being said.
I think it’s more about decreasing your speed when it’s raining sure the tread is important but let’s be real most of the time is idiots going way too fast in bad weather that cause accidents.
In some states if you are caught and they spot your tires and they are worn out they can legally give you a ticket. If you can't afford tires then you shouldn't be driving
Notice how in the first shot (1:22) with the new tires it shows her turning the wheel but in the second shot it shows no video from the interior of the car(1:49)
Sparky Depends on the tire. Summer tires offer the best traction but once it gets to cold outside not so much. All season offer the best overall performance especially if you get a touring tire. Some of those have 11/32 tread when new. Rated for 50-80k miles. I would rotate them every 5k miles. If you want any tire to last you. As your tread decreases over the life of the tire you gradually start losing performance.if you live in a climate where you see a lot of rain I would recommend replacing tires at 5/32
Yep and there high ass *inflated prices* lol ive been on low tread tires for the longest since i cant afford a new set right now. Luckily i have confidence in my driving abilities so ive been makin it work when it does snow or rain heavy.
@@thangnguyen02 Yep most def! I try to avoid driving in bad conditions altogether unless i need something in an emergency. Most of the time i stay prepared so i wouldn't have to go out lol. Luckily Georgia doesn't really get massive snow or ice or crazy rain storms like some places. At least the part im living in lol.
@@bradleyporter5454 of course u say this, tire shop guy. Have u seen someone selling "used tires" that were condemned by "new" tire shop? I have. BTW, I think you miss "inflated" pun there. LMAO. I will continue driving as long as there're still visible tire threads.
Price you pay for vehicle ownership. It's a responsibility, and it's up to you the driver to preform checks on your vehicle to be sure it's safe and operational. Otherwise take the bus, train or taxi. No one forced you to buy a car.
Forget "all season" tires if you live in a snowy area. Get proper winter tires, look for the mountain/snow symbol on the side wall. The "rubber" in winter tires doesn't harden as much as regular tires and grips ice and snow far better.
Actually, the mountain snowflake symbol only indicates that the tire meets a certain traction measurement in snow/ice. It is used on some all-terrain tires since they meet the required reaction, but these tires aren't made of the special rubber compound that winter tires are and don't perform as well in very cold conditions. All winter tires have the mountain snowflake symbol, but not all tires with the symbol are winter tires.
@@superbros1690 Excuses is all I hear. No one cares. Don't own a car then. If you buy a car and expect to drive it on public roads, it's up to you to be responsible and make sure your car is safe and operational. No one forced you to buy one, go car pool, ride the bus or take a cab if you can't afford to spend money on new tires to possibly save your life or someone else's. Literally $500 every 30K to 40K. Save up if you have to. No excuses.
@@jaybrick8973 Then don't drive. It's like 400-500 for a whole set every maybe 4 years. I'm sure those who say they can't afford it have a iPhone 13. Priorities man.
No, the porosity of rubber causes underinflated tires, which is why you have to replenish the lost air occasionally. Cold weather reduces the entropy of the air in the tire, therefore a lower pressure.
@@dulynoted2427 "Flat" is not the same as "low". "Flat" is a colloquialism for "zero" or "nothing". An automotive tire in the cold of space would still be under considerable outward force in the relative vacuum of space, despite the extreme and un-Earthly cold. You don't comprehend entropy. That's why I have built and driven racing cars and you haven't. Reiterating your error does not make it suddenly correct. That's called science, try it sometime.
@@prometheus575 you're trying insanely hard to sound smart. Most people know what the poster meant. Over complicating it to make yourself seem smart doesn't not educate or instruct the average driver. I'm an engineer so yeah what you say is normal lingo and accurate but most have no idea what you're saying. "Dumbing" down hard things Is how you make novice understand
@@Tunechi65 I don't "try to make myself sound smart", I am educated on the matter as someone who built and raced cars. If that bothers you, get a better education. I was correcting an erroneous assumption. What you are doing is insulting the intelligence of the poster to feel as if you are chivalrously saving a non-existent victim. "Dumbing things down" doesn't help anyone, so if they had any trouble understanding, they can look it up themselves and expand upon their knowledge. If you were an engineer, you would understand that you can't fudge the data just because someone doesn't understand it. I fail to see the relevance of your comment other than to appeal to yourself by alleging a correction that serves your own interests, and not anyone else's.
Yo hydroplaning ain't no joke, I lost control of my car on wet road and slammed sideways into a tree, luckily no one was hurt, and didnt hit any other car, just fucked up my own, my mistake was stepoing on the break and trying to turn the wheel the opposite direction and that's when I spun out of control.
States without yearly safety inspections for tires, suspension, brakes and lights are criminal for placating to the voters who don't care about other people's lives. This is a political issue, as you all know that many folks won't keep up on safety aspects if not made to.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 I've written this concern on Imgur in comments sometimes, and I get beat up for it every time. People don't want to be held accountable for other people's safety if it's something they do wrong, but boy-howdy they sure want to tell other people what to do - in fact, enacting laws to do it - if it's something they don't know anything about.
Did anyone notice that the reporter put the quarter in different parts of the tire? Look at it again in the new tire he puts the coin right in the middle. But with the low tread tire he puts it in the first tread. I think ABC is trying to pull one over our heads.
If you drive a lot or drive at high speeds, then you need to have your tires changed more often. For light use, just drive careful and you should be able to get 40K out of your tires.
Not everybody makes six, seven, eight, nine, and ten figure yearly salaries. Some Republicans are taking a tomahawk to the middle class and chopping it up to bits.
Good advice , In todays world google tires before you go to have them replaced. Tires have ratings for loudness , speed rating wet and dry conditions , Ohh and change the blinker fluid :)
50 to 60 thousand? Lmao that is crazy, it totally depends on the brand, the car, if you’be gotten alignments often, the load you place on it, etc. You’d be lucky to get 20k these days
American Dream You’re an idiot lmao it doesn’t matter what year your car is a car will still hydroplane hydroplane just like a car will still crash if you dont drive careful
You concluded your report with bad information. All-season tires aren't good enough in snowy areas. Get snow tires, like Blizzaks, for the winter. Then change back to all-season tires in the summer.
That truck at 0:37 hit a pool of water at a high speed. Most likely it would've lost control no matter the tread 🤦 Just slow down. Avoid those pools of water. Check your tire pressure and don't go below 2/32.
