I did some checking on the Internet and it appears this problem may be inherent on this vehicle. One site on the Internet suggested the fault was the tires and after they switched to Michelin Symmetry or Harmony tires the problem was gone. Currently the car has American GS60 General P225/60R16 tires. I also checked on the Internet shop Tire Rack where one customer reviewed the same American tire that is on his 2003 Buick LeSabre and stated, "Worst tire in wet conditions I have driven... EVER! Tires have sidewall bubbles and less than 30,000 miles. Car purchased brand new in 2003 from factory with these tires. NEVER AGAIN!! Tires are UNSAFE. To diagnose the vibration, the first and most economical step is to balance all the tires, which you've done. If that doesn't repair the problem,...

ANSWER: I always recommend buying a second set of rims (wheels) when installing winter tires on a vehicle. First, there is the convenience of being able to quickly switch from summer to winter tires when the snow flies. Repair shops and tire dealers are usually extremely busy installing new tires at that time, so it can take a while to get your vehicle in. Usually the bottleneck is at the tire machine used to install new tires. However, if you already have the tires on wheels, many shops will be able to swap complete wheel and tire assemblies in short order and can do a quick undercar inspection at the same time. I am a fanatic about owning and caring for winter snow tires and dedicated winter alloy wheels for my many cars over the years. I started using nitrogen in my tires this tim...
In Gislaved's view of the round, the world is flat. This refers to the contact patch of the tire, with shoulder blocks that are practically at right angles to the sidewalls. The directionally-oriented tread pattern has provisions for studs, which were nixed due to the MX-5's feather-light curb weight. The proprietary compound uses high concentrations of silica and natural rubber, with just the right mix for temperature drops that send all-seasons scurrying into the ditch. Tread block channels are deep and wide for removal of water and slush, with an aggressive pattern for snow chomp. The inner blocks see the added benefit of multiple sipes for ice grip, with unique variations in their angles of placement. It must be to confuse the ice into thinking it's pavement. The trade-off with the...

The 4.0 litre six cylinder engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, pumps out a respectable 239 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. Despite its 1,945 kilogram curb weight, the FJ has more than enough grunt to tackle tough terrain. It features true four-wheel drive with a high-low range shifter and a differential lock. My tester was also equipped with Toyota' s off-road package that included 16-inch aluminium alloy wheels wrapped in beefy BFGoodrich Rugged Trail P265/75R16 tires and trail-tuned Bilstein shock absorbers that softened out some serious bumps. The FJ Cruiser uses a high-mounted, double wishbone front suspension and stabilizer bar, and a 4-link rear suspension with a lateral rod with coil springs and a stabilizer bar. This set-up allows this rig to truly bring ...

I appreciate your comments, and I have no doubt that your fleet of vehicles is in great condition because of your personal attention. But for the average driver who checks under the hood only to add washer fluid and relies on his auto service provider to keep the wheels running smoothly, following a time-based maintenance schedule is not the best way to do things. First, regardless of the improvements in engine oil in recent decades, and the advent of synthetic oils, engine oil still needs to be changed on a regular basis of every three to four months or every 5,000 to 6,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Even the cheapest regular oil you will find in the discount bin of some dollar store doesn't "break down" over time. It gets contaminated with the byproducts of burning gasoline o...

If you haven't been following, the compact SUV segment has been outgrowing its toddler togs. Honda's CR-V is larger than its predecessor was, the new Toyota RAV4 is almost as large -- and is more powerful -- than the company's mid-sized Highlander and, now, Hyundai's revised Santa Fe is 175 millimetres longer and 130-mm wider than the outgoing model. Even more impressive, says Peter Renz, Hyundai Canada's marketing guru, is that the new Santa Fe has more legroom in both the first and second-row seats than the Highlander and third-row legroom equal to Mercedes' gargantuan GL450. In fact, claims Renz, the new Santa Fe has more total passenger room than the new Mazda CX-7 and the aforementioned Highlander and RAV4. As for decor, the Santa Fe represents another rung in Hyundai's steady ups...

The [Susan Williamson] consignment of 11 cars, including two rare Atalantes, three full-on race cars and several luxury sedans, is expected to go for in excess of $15 million. Part of the proceeds will benefit Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Unfortunately for the collecting world, Williamson's prized possession, a 57SC Atlantic, arguably the world's most valuable car, is not part of the auction. The family hasn't decided what to do with the car, but it's expected to be sold privately; estimates range as high as $15 million. The kids or heirs of collectors are going into their husbands', fathers' and grandfathers' garages, seeing what's there and saying, 'What are we going to do with this stuff?' " collecting expert Tom Cotter said. "For one thing, the kids can't drive them. "The D...
