Q: Is it worth putting only one new tire on my car?

A: Putting only one new tire on your car can negatively affect suspension, transmission, braking and treadwear.

Why: A tire with a tread and tire design much different than others can cause the car to run in an unbalanced manner, imposing strain on all those components.

What to do: If you must buy only one new tire for your car, match it with the same manufacturer, size and model as the other tire on the axle. Placing them on the same axle minimizes any imbalance caused by the new tire.

And placing the tires with the best tread on the rear wheels reduces risk of “oversteering” — having the rear of the car slide sideways during a turn on a slick road.

Hey, just watched the Hilary video…even if the asker did not know what the Sec of state does in the US, though if you’re going to be asking high ranking officials anything don’t you think you should make it a point to know (?) and fyi, it was a rude q no matter how you cut that cake (what’s your husband’s opinion?! wtf? Ask him!) and I loved the response (though pretty cheeky in a public forum, to be sure…) – NOT channeling Bill Clinton – hilarious : ) and that’s just my opinion – ZL

Oh and p.s. – anon/whatever #, I think the term ‘teabagger’ should replace ‘republican’ bc the definition is basically the same, no? ahhahaha…

Hi Chalipa, I am sorry that I am capable of scaring anyone, especially you. I do not mean to be angry when I respond, but sometimes I am asked things that cross over certain lines of loyalty, and that angers me. Chalipa, I will try to be more gentle.

I appreciate your telling me.

Michelle

I am going to the same meeting in San Francisco that you are today. I hope to see you there. My daughter and wife are so excited to hear that you will be attending. We are bringing our cameras so that we can sneak a few pictures of you.

We are big fans of your blog. My daughter introduced her mother and me to it back in February. I am an old Trekkie fan from way back. I envy Howie and Al being selected to venture into the unknown of space.

I feel that I have done everything I want to on this earth except help others who have not been as fortunate as I have financially. I have made more that 200 million dollars in my 47 years of living. I did it on my own. The only assets my parents gave me was my white skin and a desire to work hard at whatever I tried.

I loved them for their dedication to helping others and for raising me to respect everyone’s right to be different. They have helped me instill the same values into my beloved daughter. She told me that she wanted me to leave a considerable portion of my accumulated wealth to charity.

I will leave everything to her and her mother. I am in excellent health so I do not plan on leaving this life anytime soon. However, if invited, I would leave for space in a flash. I can afford to pay my way and I would leave a sizable endowment to the charity of your choice.

I am a member of MoveOn.org. For those of you in the bay area and are interested in attending other functions happening politically here is some additional information.

Dear MoveOn member,
Your local MoveOn Council is organizing an important event tomorrow in San Francisco—can you be there?
We’re taking action at events like these because this is a make-or-break moment—right-wing extremists are crashing political events around the country and trying to dominate the public debate over President Obama’s agenda.
We can’t let that happen in San Francisco. Local MoveOn members are making sure Sen. Barbara Boxer knows that we’re counting on her to support clean energy jobs and save the Clean Air Act. Congress must move quickly to stand up to coal lobbyists and fix the energy bill—so it creates the clean energy jobs we desperately need.
The event is on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009, at 6:30 PM in San Francisco. Click here for more details and to RSVP:
Yes, I’ll be there on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
Sorry, I can’t make it.
Location: Golden Gate Ave. & Van Ness
Here’s the description provided by the event host:
We will be rallying and supporting Senator Boxer to strengthen the Clean Energy Act. Our progressive presence is vital to Senator Boxer during the August Congressional recess! We want Senator Boxer to know that she has constituent support behind her to strengthen the Clean Energy Act.
We will be meeting in front of Books Inc. at 6:30pm. Please look for the pro alternative energy signs!
Sen. Boxer needs to hear from her local constituents. Right-wingers are doing everything they can to hijack the debate—they’re even using fraudulent tactics, like bringing people who don’t live in the district to town halls.1 That’s why we’re organizing “Real Voices for Change”—an ambitious campaign to show that the overwhelming majority of Americans continue to support Obama’s plans for change.
We have numbers on our side, but Sen. Boxer won’t know it unless we all show up. Coming to this event is a timely and easy way to make sure thoughtful constituents are heard in the public debate over clean energy. Can you join us on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.?
