If your car doors or trunk sound like the creaking of a door at a haunted house, you need probably need grease or lubrication on the hinges. Ignore this and don't be surprised if your doors and trunk eventually land up damaged from binding, bending and twisting making closing or opening of doors difficult. The same goes for hoods, trunk lids, lift-gates and tail-gates. The longer you wait for lubrication the worse the damage can be and the more expense you will incur. Again, its one of 106 St Tire's important words we nag you about: MAINTENANCE. Our advice? If you are driving an older vehicle, use an aerosol lubricant like White Lithium or Super-Lube on the hinges and avoid "goop" type grease formulas because they make a mess, attract dirt, etc making the aerosol grease formulas a neater and better choice for folks who have never done this kind of thing before. Some mechanics recommend a lubricating gun and that makes sense as well as long as you don't over do it making a mess because ... read more

By definition, your spare tire is exactly that, a spare in case of an emergency. Meanwhile while we wait for an emergency, we forget to check on our spare tire simply because it's not needed........yet. And when it's needed, it might not be ready to do its job because many of us don't do what we have to do to keep our cars, tires, brakes, etc in good condition....in a word: maintenance. The problem with that kind of thinking is that it's not preventative as is, unfortunately, a lot of maintenance issues. The whole concept of preventative car care is to avoid accidents, get the best performance, stay prepared for situations that come up unexpected, avoid costly repairs and situations and extend the life of our car and its tires. Think about it. Isn't it a pain when your car doesn't start on a cold morning? But, when have you had your car battery checked last? Batteries have a life expectancy. How old is yours? Same with your spare tire....It's there, you know it and we all ignore it an ... read more
