Tires shot at 19,000

How long should a set of tires on a new car last? The tires on my 2005 Honda Accord coupe are worn out after just 19,000 miles. The dealer says this is normal wear.

Tire wear varies greatly from vehicle to vehicle, driver to driver and tire to tire. It's affected by whether the tires are properly inflated at all times, whether the car is properly aligned, whether the driver is aggressive in turning and acceleration. That said, your Honda Accord coupe probably came from the factory with low-profile, all-weather tires that are by their nature softer than perhaps some other tires. The softer rubber improves the car's handling, but the trade-off is the tires wear more quickly.

Retreaded Tires - They're Not What You Might Think
No doubt you've noticed large chunks of rubber, commonly called tire debris or road alligators, alongside the roadways. The prevailing perception is that this tire debris is due to retreaded tires failing. This is not factual, but rather, a long-standing misconception.

The true culprit is improper tire maintenance, particularly the failure to maintain recommended air pressure in tires, states Harvey Brodsky, managing director of the Tire Retread Information Bureau (TRIB), a non-profit, member-supported industry association dedicated to the recycling of tires through retreading and repairing, and to promoting proper tire maintenance for all tires. Tires that are not properly maintained will fail and it doesn't matter if the tires are new or retreads.

Custom tires, rims stolen from truck on dealership lot
A new truck at Goodwin's Viking Motors was going nowhere fast Sunday morning, its tires and rims stolen during the night.

The theft occurred at the dealership at 1606 Main St. When Mike Ward of the Oxford Police Department arrived on the scene, a jack was still propping up the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado.

According to Al Buck, who works in sales at the dealership, the tires were 20-inch specialized factory issue. They are worth approximately $3,500.

"I do have some leads I'm working on right now, thanks to help from the public," Ward said.
