Best winter tires; Body lift


A body lift is a common and cheap method to run larger tires on a vehicle. It involves installing a puck where the body mounts to the frame in order to increase the clearance between tires and the body. This is often used to allow the placement of a larger motor for an engine swap. It is considered by many to be inferior to a well built suspension lift. The downfall to installing pucks for spacing is that over time the rubber in the puck tends to deteriorate. This causes the body to sag, and will eventually become unsafe. While the controversy continues about body lifts verses suspension lifts, a properly installed aftermarket body lift kit can give the desired effect just as safely as a suspension lift.


Used winter tires; Cold inflation pressure


Cold inflation pressure is the inflation pressure of tires before the car is driven and the tires warmed up. Recommended cold inflation pressure is displayed on the owner’s manual, the placard (or sticker) attached to the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box door or fuel door.
