Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, which are at odds with each other. Wikipedia

As consumers plan their summer road trips, it’s a good idea to check on tire health before hitting the road. Properly maintained tires can help you stay safer on the road and save money on gas in the long run. Goodyear’s Michiel Kramer, director of Product Marketing recommends keeping the following considerations in mind:
Check your door panel for tire pressure: Recommended tire pressure is included right on a small sticker located on the driver’s side door jamb! Check here first, so you don’t have to guess. Hot summer roads and increased sun exposure mixed with underinflated or overinflated tires can be a one-way street to a tire blowout, so it’s important to be on top of your tire pressure this summer.
Check your tire treads: High temperatures can cause your tires to wear out faster, leading to decreased traction. You can quickly check your tire tread by inserting a penny into your tire – if Lincoln’s head doesn’t sink into the tire groove, it’s time for new tires.
Make sure you have the right tires: As a rule of thumb, you should remove winter tires once the overnight temperature is consistently above 45°F and switch back to all-season or summer tires, such as Cooper Cobra Instinct®. If off-roading adventures are on your summer bucket list, check out the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac® RT.
You can get your tires inspected for FREE: Drop by a Goodyear Auto Service center to get a Free Car Care Check where a technician will conduct a thorough tire and vehicle inspection. Visit the nearest center for extra peace of mind before your trip!

45:39|A flood vehicle, or flood-damaged car, is a vehicle that has been partially or fully submerged in water, leading to significant and potentially hidden damage to its body, engine, and electronics. These vehicles often receive a "salvage" or "flood" title, which should be disclosed by sellers. Hurricane Katrina flooded and damaged an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 vehicles along the Gulf Coast, with about 300,000 vehicle insurance claims filed due to the storm. Efforts were made to identify and destroy these water-damaged cars, but thousands still resurfaced on the used car market, sometimes with hidden damage.Email the show: auto@mpbonline.orgRecalls: Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSANews: What Is Hydroplaning, And What Should You Do If It Happens?Auto Casey Car Review: 2026 Subaru Solterra | Short takeAuto Correct | Fuses, Breakers, & Amps, Oh My!

An automotive circuit breaker is an electrical protection device designed to interrupt the flow of current in a circuit when it exceeds a predetermined level. Amp is short for ampere, which is the unit of measurement for electric current. The bigger the amp value, the more electricity is available.
