Is there any doubt as to whether any defense lawyer is the stereotype of "an irresponsible person", especially "a principled one"? (For example, Mechanics are "on the other side of the courtroom", so to speak.)
This man is a saint. I’ve learned more about cars from this channel than any other resource
I always have the tires rotated every time I get the oil changed ... Yes, I have to replace all four when they wear out, but they last longer!
Agreed. I would prefer all tires too be matching as well. I rotate twice a year, once in late fall and then again in the spring. I don't see the point in buying 2 at a time. Most tire shops these days offer buy 3 get one free as well.
I agree IF the lame assistant didn't ruin the studs
Scotty advises against rotating tires......
as long as you trust the person handling your lug nuts- thats the deal maker/breaker

Too bad every mechanic are not as honest as Scotty. I wish I could find a mechanic near me who was like Scotty.
You can say that again!!!!!
A mechanic who berates every brand except Toyota and Honda
@GreatGrandmasterWang why do you think toyota and honda are the best sellers for many years? Why do you think most asians druve toyota and honda? Honda is suck now.
Yeah so honest he tells you that rotating your tires is pointless....
*Is not. Not are not. 🙄
Learned something today, yes even at 57 years still learning. Never knew the dot position in relation to the stem. Thanks!
It is a rare treat to watch someone that likes what they do for a living !🌞
In Canada we rotate the tires when we change from all season radials to winter tires. When it comes to bikes anything that has hydraulics and a motor is called a motorcycle and requires a motorcycle licence, insurance and safety apparel.
If the tires are rotated every 6-8 thousand miles they should wear evenly eliminating the front tires from wearing out faster than the rear tires !
Thank You! That's What I Believe
I agree very informative
I use newer winters as my summers and new studded ones for my winter driving. Alternatively, I'd have to buy all seasons for summer. I'll wear both of them out and pay the $56 for the november/April changeover.

-Only required for 4 wheel drive vehicles. If you drive a staggered setup, forget about rotations!
Tires are rotated due to how much weight is on the front and back of the vehicle. Generally, there is more weight on the front of the car with engine and then the drive axle for FWD vehicles. You have a more fifty fifty or close to it setup on RWD vehicles but still the empty trunk weighs much less than an engine. This is also the reason that you put the better traction tires on the lighter part of your vehicle which is usually in the back.
The car Dad I never knew I wanted...
Much love Scotty. I wholeheartedly appreciate your content.
Firestone Destination LE 2s, and now LE 3s , have been the best tires I’ve ever experienced in the last 55,000 miles. Having a solid mechanic, who fixed the alignment issues also played a big part. Thanks Jimmy. He also teaches his mechanic skills to future mechanics at the local community college. At 279,000 this car rolls amazingly smooth.
Meh they're average. Michelin and Continental much better.
Michelins have been very quiet on my SUV. Much better than the craplanders erm geolanders. The Japanese dropped the ball on their tires.
Firestone products wear out in no time. Absolute crap
I used to be in the automotive service industry. I sold a lot of destination tires. Not a Firestone dealer. I always presented them a great bang for the buck tire. Never had a single customer complain. Keep them properly inflated and rotate frequently and they will last much longer. I personally rotate with every oil change (3000 miles) which I do myself (have a hoist) and I'm retired so I have all the time.
What? I have them on my Alfa spider 916 and they are absolute dog💩 in the wet. Will be replacing these soon.
In March 2021 I had four Michelin Defender T+H 195/65R15 tires put on my 2002 Honda Accord. Some people might think that I was crazy putting these top of the line tires on a 20 year old car but I frequently drive on local streets that are in far from perfect condition. As it turns out I have been doing a lot more driving now than I was then on a daily basis. The increased cost is well worth it to me in the form of improved ride and handling and durability over a less expensive tire. In my experience inexpensive tires do not hold up well in the driving conditions the New York City metropolitan area presents to drivers.
Brother, you aren't crazy. You are right on the money. I'd argue putting a more expensive tire on an old car that's not quite as tight and bolted together as it was brand new is SMARTER than going cheap. LTX Defenders for all my past trucks and Defender T+H for most recent purchase for mom's 10 year old Civic and she loves everything about them. Hondas always tend to be loud in the cabin and transmit alot of road noise. Michelins are as quiet as you'll ever make a Honda. 👍
Smart move in my book; I am a loyal fan of the 10 ply Defenders, they do hold up well the entire 80000 miles. I put them on my Corolla which is way overkill.
@@tdgdbs1 how are you able to specify the number of plys for your purchase?
I agree. I have the Defenders on my Explorer and they handle the rough streets here in LA very well. Have had the tires for 5 years now and they still look great. I hope they will last 10 years.
@neuralismgamingtv4511 unless your muffler is dragging lol 😆
Proper tire rotation should keep the wear even across all tires.
Loving the picture of the Austin 1100 ❤ to explain front wheel drive 👍
Glad to see Scotty at a Town Fair tire! You can't beat Town Fair tire. They only sell tires, Wheels, and alignments!
Yeah bro I was trying to figure out which one. I run one, love the business model!
Heard both good and bad about Town Fair tires
Many years ago, I bought the cheapest tires available for the car I owned at the time once...and only once. The difference in handling and traction - especially in bad weather - was noticeable.
Moreover, they wore quickly. They were rated (I think) for just 30k miles to begin with, but at around 20k they were showing significant wear. That was enough for me. Went to the tire shop and bought some quality all season tires and never skimped again.
I just ordered a fresh set of Continental DWS. Can’t wait till install next week. Boy do I need em 😉
I always buy factory take offs from craigslist, they usually have 100 miles or less on them, good part is you get new oem wheels every time too and all 4 wheels with tires usually cost less than buying 2 new tires by themselves. You need to be in a larger city for this to work. Wheels and tires currently on my truck are about 6 generations newer than itself (same model though). Do your homework on fitment.
Thanks Scotty for tip how to open silicon tube!
By rotation of the tires they all wear out evenly. That's what I was taught as a young man from my Dad.
May God bless everyone!!
But the cost is the same on a 2wd car. I rotate too, but over time the number of tires you buy is the same.
I'd be more worried about really badly worn tires causing extra wear on suspension parts such as struts and bearings from the wear angle causing stress on the components. That's the main problem with no rotation. I'd rather replace tires than a wheel bearing or something twice the price of a tire.
Tires suffer from age as well as wear. So theoretically, if the set of tires receiving power wear out say in 8 years, the remaining unpowered tires will most likely *not* make it to 16 years. They dry out, the sidewalls crack, etc. So as others have stated, you're better off if you rotate the tires so they all wear out about the same time. Then replace them all with newly manufactured tires.
@@guyrouillier who the hell takes 8 years to wear out a tire, much less 16, unless it is a car in storage. 60k mi is usually the rated treadlife on rubber rollers. That's
@@guyrouillier new tire from china, boy
As Scotty said in a previous video, he doesn't rotate his tires. I had thought rotating tires was so that each tire wears evenly.
I rotate mine
I also rotate mine too . When you buy new ones - usually in my area get free rotation . I wouldn't pass that up .
I agree with you 100%
I've always thought so too,but Scotty doesn't. Hmmm?
I was wondering the same
Cooper Enduromax. A true "4 season" tire. From hot summer roads, severe storms, full winter traction (3 peak rated), quiet and long lasting.
On third set, 3 different cars.
Improved ride quality too!
The valve you identified as a drain is positioned more like an air dump valve. A drain valve (which is used to drain water condensate from the tank, as you know) would be located on the lowest point of the air tank. The tank should be drained at the end of each day the compressor is used to prevent rust inside the tank.
But it has a plastic tank? So it won’t rust.
@@paulsi1234 Chinese plastic is capable of rusting.
@@dr.mantistoboggan4746 🤣
Town Fair Tire is an excellent place to buy new tires and even new rims. My old car had factory chrome rims (never again in New England) that were flaking and causing my tires to leak. Needed a new set quickly and was worried about the final cost. I was able to find a great new set of rims at a decent price. They recommended several different types after telling them what I was looking for. Brought them to the car so I could see what they looked like. Offered interest free financing and helped me build my credit rating. Not sure how big of a chain they are, but for a chain, I was super impressed. If you buy tires and then see them listed somewhere else cheaper, they will reimburse you the difference.
Fabulous place.
Shop around. My local Town Fair quoted 989.92 installed plus tax AFTER mail-in rebate for the same goodyear assurance tires that Walmart Quoted 644.40 installed plus tax including road hazard protection. $345.52 difference a half mile away. No brainer.
Right on Scotty!
Scotty is a well of car wisdom and knowledge. If I was a neighbor kid I’d be at his house every day.
You as a kid say sheepishly "can I hold that flashlight for you?", Scotty says "get that torque wrench and tighten down those lug nuts, no one ever learned anything by holding a flashlight!"
Not really. It's counter-intuitive, but if you're only replacing 2 tires on a FWD car, the new ones should be put on the rear. Because of the weight balance of a FWD car, you want the tires with the best traction on the back in order to control lateral movement, especially in bad weather situations or emergency maneuvers. You don't want bald tires on the back contributing to oversteer that may get dangerously out of control.
I only buy Douglas AS. Very quiet and reliable, excellent traction even on snow. For me they outlast mileage rating with rotation at every 5k oil change. Full set in May, with free rotation and road hazard, cost me less than $400. Least expensive Goodyear you can buy.
Town Fair is pretty good. You can check the price on line and order. Also, they will price match with other tire shops. I used Discount tire's quote, and they matched it, even tho they have no stores in the northeast
I live in Illinois and get a fair amount of snow. In 36 years owning front wheel drive vehicles, I’ve never gotten stuck in the snow while driving one.
I live in Colorado and never got suck driving RWD pickups to communte to work (62 miles round trip) over 20 years...
@@devildog5354 : Give it time.
You can probably find center caps for most cars, that's not a usually a problem. The price, on the other hand, is usually the issue. I've seen some OEM center wheel caps go for as much as $50-$100 per cap and more.
Ebay is a wonderful source for center caps at very low cost. I bought Toyota center caps for under $10 each.
Scotty I agree with you but I live in Canada, so all wheel drive is great in the winter, and I got rid of my Subaru in November and a got a 2006 Buick Lacrosse with only 63,000KM's but I still miss my 24 yea old Subaru Legacy
Scotty, tell the folks how to read the sidewall to tell when the tire made, thus assuring freshness.
Look like Sumitomos/Falken tires .
Great tires !
Got 4 tires at Mavis for less than $600. Comparable to Top mame brands at twice the price.
Super quiet , excellent performance dry or wet and better than average snow performance.
Falken 215/55/17.
Scotty, you need a follow-up regarding 4WD and all wheel drive. Also some cars have wider rears. You triggered so many questions i see.
Doubling the advertised mileage is what I routinely get with tires. Air kept at the proper psi and getting them rotated at every other oil change is all it takes.
No way you are getting double the advertised mileage out of a tire
@@randyedelen5770 ok, I guess I did take some liberty with that statement……let me correct it. On my Ram 1500 4wd, my last set of BFG K02 tires, (which have a 50,000 mile manufacturers warranty) I only got 98,000 miles on the set before I replaced them with another set of that same tire……..sorry for my error……….😐
see he lied but ADMITTED IT LIKE A TINMAN!
good stuff
Hey Scotty their are CZcamsrs who make a top 5 - 10 best wet grip and snow grip tires I recommend everyone to choose from them
OH MY GOSH...FIRST TIRE PLACE IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE THAT I SEE INSTALLS THE TIRE WITH THE MARKING LINED UP WITH THE VALVE. I AM AMAZED. What tire shop is this?
They might have known Scotty was going to show their work to 6 million subscribers (laughing)...
Town fair tire is expensive. I went to Cdsco last time and I saved 159.
I remember the Town Fair Tire when I lived in Middletown.
Years ago, I had a Ford Escort with plastic hubcaps similar to what you have. When the Ford dealership worked on the brakes for the car, they broke one of the hubcaps. They would not replace it, claiming it was old. I had to pay for a new one myself. This was not the only time this Ford dealership was dishonest, so they no longer have my business. BTW, I have a 1963 Falcon in my garage. The metal hubcaps for it work fine to this day!
Scottie, if you’re ever in Northern VA by Dulles airport, give Voltech Auto a call. They have brand NEW tries sold cheaper than any online store, Costco and the nearby Walmart!!
Tyres laying down, then stacked on top of each other tends to permanently deform the lower tyres. Don't store more than a couple of tyres like that. A tyre shop should know better than that.
Bruh this is a shop, not a warehouse
@@lLukeSkyscraper tyres still get damaged by stacking them, whether they're in a shop or a warehouse. If the business is a tyre shop, they should know and practice the proper storage method. It's part of doing business in tyre sales and fitment, and it's the "price of entry" into the business.
Your suppose to rotate every other oil change so they wear the same and alignment checked
Have you ever tested out Exoforma tire products? I'm curious if the long lasting shine really works and is worth the $
Great information as always
Thanks for the video, Scotty!!!
I do have a question about those air tanks. Do you have to fill them with are to make them work or what? I always wondered and never know who to ask so I'll just ask you Scotty.
Well., I will certainly never buy THOSE tires for my daily driver.
What about tire rotation? I rotate my tires twice a year. What do you recommend?
The problem with buying tired from a tire store is that ehen you are traveling the chances of finding a store nearby are slim to none. Plus, they are somethimes only open 9-5 during the week so if you have an emergency on Sunday you are SOL. And, if you het special irder tires then they eill most likely not have one in stock. I had a complete sidewall blowout on the interstate doing 80 mph (handled it well thank you) and what do you know there was a WalMart open on Sunday 2 exits away. Worth considering.
Walmart and Costco still go through a lot of tires. I would 100% buy from them if no tire stores were open
On front wheel or rear wheel drive vehicles you can get by without rotating and just replace the 2 worn tires. On all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicles you need to rotate every 5,000 miles.
AWD is great for snow & ice, gravel, mud and sand. Also, if you drive aggressively { please don't risk your life or others' }, it can save you from losing control if you have to dodge a car
I had an alignment done last fall. I am about to replace my tires this weekend. Is it still recommended I get an alignment even though I’ve just had one done fairly recently on the old set of tires (same wheels)?
Mr. Scotty what kind of brand of tires did you buy and how much did you pay for each one
Where can I find the square tyres? I've been looking for them everywhere, I like the way they look.😮
Mr. Kilmer, please ur opinion of replacing the wheels and tires on my 430 Lexus, currently they are 225 55 r17, I want to go to 245 45 r18, which are found on some LS 430 models , my car is a 2006 ML trim , ur thoughts ??
Hey Scotty, they did such a good job why you giving the tires the finger?😮😂😂😂😂3:31
Them Silent oil free compressors are great, sprayed a whole car use for airtools, pumping up tires etc aparently they have a 100% duty cycle so motor can run for quite a while. (as long as keep filters clean) Been looking at Vevor tools including the Injector cleaner (AUTool) seems like good stuff. Im in the middle of working out what to do with my garrage :) Thought of even my own tire changng equipment.
About those electric bikes, just for safety, I would store them in a separate shed in case a battery goes up in smoke. It could be a serious mistake storing them in the garage, especially if the garage is attached to the house.
Isn't any different than people parking their electric cars in their garage...
if anything i would CHARGE them in a shed away from the house before actually storing them in an inconvenient place all the time.
Town fair tire used to be incredible. Especially if you had a dealer account or a garage account. They do installs for five dollars each tire. They do have really good prices but they were bought out by Mavis. The old man Neil used to own every single location. It was generally Northeast, but I think they are expanding now. The only problem is, the alignments are cheap, but they will only align the be car. If there is anything wrong, you are on your own until you fix the problem. Also, if you have a dealer or Garage account, they do alignments for $55. That’s really half price, so you can’t go wrong. However, their text aren’t the greatest when it comes to alignments. You often have to go back for them to zero out the steering wheel.
I have a 2019 Impala and I live in Minnesota. What are the best tires for my car with snow?
I live in Canada and there's not a tire can be sold that doesn't pass DOT inspections so I mean even the cheep tires are pretty reliable just usually really soft
3:30 I just had some nice special order Falken tires installed at Sam's club and they put the dots in the wrong location on both rear tires. They did the front correctly. Man, businesses everywhere are so unreliable.
EDIT: Not sure if I wanna go back and complain. Now I don't trust them to reinstall them properly, clean the bead etc.
2:52 got a feeling Scott knows plenty about "a few dabs"
The waving of the hands help me to get the point much better
Haaay Scotty,
Where can we go to buy a car battery and battery acid separately?
I just bought use Michelin pilot sport cup 2 K2 tire and they have little under 7/32 mark or 6mm thread life left. For 110 was it worth it and how long will they last
Replacing ‘fronts’ more often on a front wheel drive vehicle is one way, or you can rotate ‘em on a regular basis - different strokes…
Ha ha, Scotty just learned me how a tube of adhesive should actually be used. I never knew.
Also, tires have date codes. Try to get the latest dates and definitely verify all 4 tires have the same dates. Good vid. Thanks.
they are not 'codes' they are actual dates- by law. perhaps it is being confused with the DOT plant code.
@@tommurphy4307 Very good. Thank you for the correction.
Thats why rotating your tires is always advised
What flooring have you installed in your garage? Looking for something like that.
Michelin Pilot Sport all weathers for me.
Great tires but do not last a long time.
what about tires though? if you can possibly suggest the brand , so I can get the best tires for my honestly earned dollar I would be super happy. Thank you in advance for the answer
I GOT THE ARIEL RIDER X CLASS ELECTRIC BIKE, 35 M.P.H & 75 MILES ON A SINGLE CHARGE, I CARRY AN EXTRA BATTERY SO I GO 150 MILES WITH NO ISSUES BUT IT DOESN'T FOLD.
My understanding was the dot was the heavy side of the tire and should be on the opposite side as the heavy side of the wheel and then balanced accordingly. Did I miss something?
I've never been able to buy tires "in stock" - they've always had to order them in.
What do you think about royal purple motor oil
Hi Scotty, I bought my car brand new around 6 years ago and only has around 55000 miles on it. It's still running on the original sets of seasonal tires and winters I bought around the same time, so each set has only been driven around 28000. Treadwear is still good and I don't see any visible cracking yet. How long can I continue driving them for or should I starting saving out for new sets? Thanks
12 years and 6 months. 10 years is a safe bet unless you live in 120° half the year. 8 years might be the max in Phoenix or Mexico. The deep cracks around the tread won't flex much and where the plies come together at the side wall is the weak link.
if they were formulated from cheap plastics then they should be good for at least a few years, if they were made from industry-leading polymers then they could last 50 years with proper handling and treatment. and everything in between.
How about rotating the tyres frequently so that they wear evenly... Here in the Northern Europe we have to change tyres twice a year anyway (because of winter), so uneven wear is basically a non-issue.
I'll stick to my Schwinn Stingray with the banana seat and the slick rear tire.
I had one… best bike ever 👍
Well Scotty if you rotate the tires they will all 4 wear out at the same time. Also jave all 4 tires with the same tread depth and type the car will drive better and handle better.
What all season tires are good for a 2006 Infiniti M35?
That looks like Town Faire Tire. Used to get my tires there when I lived in the northeast. Great company. Michelins and Toyos for me always had them in stock.
FYI The date the tire was manufactured is printed to the tire.
DOT is DATE of manufacture
AFAIK - 4-5 years - it's recommended to replace all four tires because the rubber is drying
I’m having a problem with cupped tires on a 2020 gmc terrain slt 2.0 front wheel drive on Bridgestones
Hail to Scotty having 2 places full of stuff! 😂😮
Do you have a link for the electric bike your wife likes? My wife would like that also.
Scotty you mentioned dry rot in tires, but much has been said online about not using ArmorAll to protect them. Would you please do an updated segment on rubber protection and the best brands of you know which works best.
Aerospace 303 Marine grade protectant. The BEST!! ❤
@@DrDennis good stuff.. also 3M makes a highly-rated 'marine scotch-gard' protectant
My understanding some states/businesses will not install tires that are older than 5 years old, so if you have some tires stored in your garage to "save money" like I did, look at the DOT date, should be four numbers month/year. If they are expired, instead of saving money, you will be spending money to have them disposed of. Dang it...
Install your own and stay away from low pros
If you've rotational tyres then its best to rotate them once a year.
I’m actually the service manager of the town fair tire you went to im glad the guys was able to get you on the road again sadly I missed the opportunity to meet you 😂😂
Thankyou for the advice, Scotty.
I've seen a few videos of battery packs bursting into flames and even though it's probably relitively rare I wonder if a person shouldn't keep them in a seperate metal shed or something... my brother had one burn up and had he not been right there it could have been real bad. I don't know the statistics, if ony there were some way of finding that information... hummm, anyway, just a thought!
How much time does Scotty need to fill that garage like that one on old place? I'd give him one year.
If you change tires keep the best 1 in case of an emergency.
If it was 4 wheel drive, there likely wouldn’t be much of a difference. You just replace the front two like a FWD vehicle. When I’ve enquired with various tyre places and the dealership for an Audi, they suggest that unless tread is very different, it’s unlikely to be much of an issue. In this instance the fronts were worn and the backs were fine.
Are the eagle rsa on my p71 good tires?
Walmart tires are horrible! Definitely get the free replacement plan. I’ve had almost a flat once a month or two!!! But yes get free one! Another thing Walmart put lugs on with impact and I couldn’t get lugs off actually broke one off!
Didn't even know Wal Mart sold tires! I love WM, but I don't think I would ever buy tires for my car from there!
@@robertgreenhalge1708 are you kidding me? You must be the only person on the planet that does not know Walmart has tires LOL
@@Jazc-mp889 It would never even occur to me to even look at Wal Mart for tires lol
Kind of reminds me of Sears auto center back in the day...who in their right mind would bring their car to Sears for car maintenance? Who in their right mind buys tires at Wal Mart if they care about their vehicle?
You go to Wal Mart for cheap Chinese junk that you don't care about quality, how long it lasts, etc. Perhaps most don't care about their vehicle as I do lol
@@robertgreenhalge1708 I’m pretty sure you’ve walked by tires on display at Walmart. They’re over by the automotive section 🤣
@@Jazc-mp889 Nope! Just for kicks I checked out the local Wal Marts in my area...no tires in stock in any of 'em. I could order online of course, and have them delivered.
Which is a disappointment, actually. Would have loved to see what Wal Mart has for tires! Even at the "super" Wal Mart 15 miles from me...nothing.
Are they displayed in their own aisle(s)? The auto section here is literally sprays and waxes and things like that. Not even batteries.
