Why Are Some Tires More Expensive Than Others?
Beyond the basic costs of raw materials, some tires are more expensive because they feature new materials, rubber chemistry, and advances in technology that improve tire performance related to handling and acceleration.
How Do Tires Affect Fuel Economy?
Driving on underinflated or overinflated tires can negatively affect fuel economy, traction, and handling. Make sure that your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure.
How Is a Tire Made?
A tire is constructed from the inside out, beginning with the inner liner. There are up to 200 different materials in a tire, and fabric belts are wrapped around the inner layer with steel belts, more fabric belts, and other materials layered between the tread and inner liner.

Why Do I Need to Get My Tires Rotated?
Tire rotation is a necessary aspect of proper tire maintenance. You need to keep up with your tire rotations because they ensure that tires wear evenly, and doing so makes them last longer.
