Who makes them?

I have to buy tires this week in order to pass inspection. The OEM goodyears have 54k on them and are terrible in the snow. I am looking for quiet ride, excellent hydroplane resistance, good snow performance and a decent looking tire. I never really off road but like the idea of an ATR tire...

Here are a few shots of my latest detail Wash Clay ZAIO z5Pro ZCS Z8 What do you think? Steve

Hi- My 02 4Runner with 50k miles is starting to feel floaty on the highway. So when I got home I did the bounce check and it bounces a little. Could my shocks already be shot? I rarely drive offroad, mostly around town and on the highway. Thanks, Steve

It's a hand polish, I'm a sure it has a lot of fillers. I would get a professional polish with a machine. That will eliminate the scratches, not hide them. If you can feel them with you finger nail, they are permenant. Steve

2002 SR5 V6 only 46,000 miles, still a baby. No issues at all. One minor $8k fender bender, ouch. Steve

have not gotten mine yet. Mayvbe in a few weeks. Steve

Maybe you are getting hotspots and mistaking them for warped rotors? Do you do any towning or drive moutain roads that require a lot of braking and heating of the rotors? When you stop driving the rotors could still be very hot and the pads kind of melt to the rotors, just a thought. Steve

Uggghhh... I have 43k and have not done the plugs for this reason. I will have to suck it up someday. Maybe this weekend with the oil change. Do you think NAPA will have the recommened pugs? Steve

Any more details, just trying to see if my 02 is affected? Steve

Thanks, What is a propeller shaft, and can I maintain it myself? Steve

Thanks, I've had the truck since day one, < 1mile on the clock. It's been 3 great years. I am looking to add something to it, but not sure what will give me what I am looking for. Either performance or appearance. Steve
