Pot holes occur as a natural part of melting snow and ice and have nothing to do with city or state apathy; they are equal opportunity and they happen everywhere there are season thaws, freezes, snow falls and ice.

Give Your Brakes a Break! The life of your brakes is very much within your control. Use common sense and the info you get here to change ingrained habits. 106 St Tire & Wheel loves to save you money, you are our peeps...save money, live long and prosper! 1-High speed driving and brake life: <= well, the last statement is contradictory in terms. Your brakes will have a short life span if you are one of those people who drives like the above. Your own life span maybe shortened as well. We could give you an extensive physics explanation about the energy brakes dissipate during high speed stops but come on now lets use common sense.

Is there anywhere else in the US that faces the driving conditions of NYC and, specifically, Queens or Manhattan? Stop and go driving? Not really good for an engine. Sitting in 45 minutes of traffic?

However, when a vehicle maker makes a recommendation about oil changes, the advice is a one size fits all type of advice rather that for your specific driving conditions which is a huge consideration.

UGH, move and extend your life and the damn car's life too." No one except 106 St Tire & Wheel will point out that NY has a spec ... read more
