Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following is NOT a brand of tire?

Answer: Sanyo

Goodyear, Kelly, and Republic are all made in Goodyear plants.

2. Where will you find the proper inflation for your tires?

Answer: On your vehicle's placard located somewhere on the car.

The inflation on the tire is the maximum it can be, which is not always the best for your car. You should always go by what is on the placard on the car. It can be found on the inside of the door, in the trunk, or in the glove compartment.

3. How often should you rotate your tires?

Answer: Every 6000-8000 miles

Not rotating tires will cause irregular and uneven wear.

4. In the tire size 195/65R15, what is the rim size?

Answer: 15

The tire's width is 195 millimeters and the 65 is the aspect ratio of the width. The 65 means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire's width.

5. When should you check your tires' air pressure?

Answer: When the tires are cold

Tire pressure will increase the more the tires are run. Pressures should be checked before the vehicle is started or after it has set for at least an hour.

6. What does it mean if your tires are wearing on the inside and outside edges?

Answer: you are not running enough air in your tires

Under-inflation is the worst enemy a tire can have. It causes increased treadwear on the outside edges of the tire. It also generates excessive heat, which weakens components and reduces tire durability. Over -inflation of the tires cause increased treadwear in the middle of the tire.

7. How often should you check your tires' air pressure?

Answer: Once a month

You should always use a good quality air gauge when checking your tires' pressures.

8. How much air can a tire lose in the space of a month under normal conditions?

Answer: 1-2 psi of pressure

A tire can lose a pound of pressure for every 10 degree drop in temperature.

9. What is the maximum size hole that can be repaired on a tire?

Answer: 1/4 inch

If the hole is in the sidewall of the tire, it should not be repaired as it can weaken the tire.

10. Which of these things could cause a blowout?

Answer: All of these

In the event of a blowout, hold the steering wheel firmly and accelerate slightly. Then when all is clear start slowing down and move to the side of the road.
