Driving Green: Car Care Tips

Let's have a look at the best tires to choose for rainy weather conditions. When you buy tires designed for rainy weather conditions, you should choose ones that are made with deep grooves at the middle. In addition, the tires that you buy should also have a tread wear rating of 85. This makes it suitable in handling off road conditions better. Tires that are made with these characteristics have the ability to maintain a good grip on the road in wet conditions.

One end of the key slips over the nut; the wrench is then inserted in the other end. When buying a used car with special lug nuts, make sure you ask the previous owner for the key.
