Need A Suspension Inspection At Carolina Tire& Auto In Charlotte?
Need A Suspension Inspection At Carolina Tire& Auto In Charlotte?
Your suspension system keeps your car up off the road. From there, it’s responsible for a smooth and comfortable ride around Charlotte. It also keeps your sedan wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves on Charlotte roads and interstates.
Your suspension system has many critical parts that do a big job. They should be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year. A good time would be when you get your alignment check in Charlotte.
Here are some warning signs of suspension problems: the sedan pulls to one side, wandering, erratic steering, uneven tire wear, leaning, shocks bottom out, poor ride or handling, oil leaking from shocks, and excessive bouncing.
Now sedan suspension parts just wear out over time. Shocks and struts eventually lose their ability to control your ride. If you’re in an accident, your sedan suspension can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. Even a minor accident, like hitting a curb, pothole or large rock can mess things up.
If you suspect suspension problems, ask for an inspection and let the Super Service Agents technicians at Carolina Tire & Auto in Charlotte set things right.

When to replace your tires?
A great question from a Carolina Tire & Auto customer...
Q: My father is notoriously frugal, and I tell him he should replace his old dry-rotted tires even though they still have plenty of tread. Can you please explain why I'm right?
A: I think our dads might be brothers. Tire replacement is pretty straightforward to the cost-conscious: when the tread wears down or a hole can't be patched. The reality is more nuanced than that. Tires are complex components that undergo amazing stresses during even the most mundane of drives. It took the better part of 50 years and a world war before motorists could depend on reaching a far-away destination without fixing one or two flats. As rubber technology and steel-belting techniques improved, tires became a very reliable part of the car—we just don't expect blowouts and punctures.
Tires do degrade over time, though, and that process is called dry rot. Oils and chemicals in the rubber compound start to evaporate or break down because of UV exposure. The rubber loses its flexibility and begins to crack at the surface, and the structure becomes more and more brittle (think of a really old rubber band), leading to sidewall damage and eventual failure. And we're not talking "Oh, I'll just fill it up and drive on it"; this is a complete loss of function. You might even see tread start to separate. It's good practice to replace tires as soon as you see signs of dry rot, to prevent blowouts and the subsequent loss of vehicle control. Even if there are no signs of rot, the industry standard is to swap out tires before they hit 10 years old, and some tire companies recommend replacement as early as six years after manufacture.

Tire King Hits Pinterest Boards
Social media is the fast and furious when it comes to getting your advertising word out. Here at Carolina Tire & Auto we hang our hat or better yet our crown on Charlotte's Tire King to get our word out on us. Call him our mascot if you will, either way what's not to like. A big guy carrying around a big tire on his shoulder. Kind of like that old Duracell commercial, telling you to try to knock it off his shoulder.
Our next big step today was stepping into Pinterest. When we sat down to "pin" all our marketing collateral of the Tire King together we discovered that he's been literally all over our Universe. Here are just a few of the places that the Tire King has been sighted.
- The Moon
- Buckingham Palace
- Pakistan
- Charlotte, NC
- On every US Airways airplane in their fleet
- Green Bay's Lambeau Field
- Chicago's Soldier Field
- in a Simpson's cartoon
- In the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band photo shoot
- People Magazine
- At the White House with Ronald Reagan, George Bush (Bush I), Barack Obama and John Boehner
- In the Smurf Movie
- Having Christmas dinner with the band Simplified and Chevy Chase
- Skiing in the ocean with great white sharks
- In his pizza parlor
- In Mexico
- In the movie Wall Street
- Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin
- At Charlotte Harris Teeter grocery stores
- Billboards in Charlotte, NC
- In CBS's Two and a Half Men
- In ABC's Modern Family
- On the Death Star with Darth Vader
- And all around various hot spots in Charlotte, NC
Whew!
When you add it all up and see it at once, it's a lot. We love the fun our friends, family and customers have with the Tire King. If you have a place that you'd like to see him, let us know and we'll send him out on a voyage.
Thanks,

How to care for an aging car
As the U.S. economy continues to battle tough headwinds, many drivers are keeping their cars longer. The average age of a passenger vehicle in the U.S. has increased to about 11 years, according to researchers R.L. Polk. (It was only nine years back in 2000.)
Here are some of the things you can do to help keep these vehicles stay alive and well:
Love Your Cooling System
Hoses that carry engine coolant live a hard life. They're forced to transport high-pressure fluids that can exceed a rubber-scorching 240 F. Meanwhile, the water pump gets no respect—no respect at all—even though the engine would die without it in minutes. In retaliation, these components conspire to fail on aging cars at the worst possible times and places—extremely hot or cold days in areas with poor cell coverage are among their favorites.
If you don't know when your old vehicle's coolant hoses were last replaced, now would be a good time to do it. Don't forget heater hoses, which carry hot coolant into the passenger compartment. As for water pumps, they often warn of their impending death by emitting an odor reminiscent of pancake syrup or by piddling green fluid on the garage floor. If you're already undertaking significant work on the engine in an older car, go ahead and replace the water pump while things are disassembled.
Brake Time
Keeping the braking system youthful will help your vehicle live long and prosper. If you inherited or purchased an older car, bleed the brakes. With a helpful friend, the right tools, and a repair manual, brake bleeding is no harder than an oil change.
If the brake fluid flows a clear, amber color, the system likely has been recently rebuilt and well-maintained. If the fluid spurts out dark black and is filled with bits of rubber and rust, a complete brake overhaul is your first priority.
Brake jobs are to DIY mechanics what blue-square runs are to a snow skier: Not too challenging for those with intermediate skills.
To keep your brake system young, flush (completely replace) the brake fluid every two years. And, like we said about the cooling system, if you're already dissembling the brakes for major repairs, check on the smaller pieces while you're in there. If your car is more than seven years old, replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required. If the rotors or brake drums must be removed, check the wheel bearings.
Black Gold
When you remove the engine oil-drain plug of an old car, you hope to discover a not-too-dark amber fluid. If the fluid that flows from your crankcase is jet black and contains bits of silvery flakes, you've got problems. A worse sign is if the oil struggles out like curdled milk.
When faced with such a situation, try this high-colonic procedure: Drain the oil, replace the oil filter, fill the crankcase with synthetic oil (which acts like a solvent for sludge), and drive the car 50 or 100 miles. Repeat until the oil runs almost as clear as new. If you find little progress after three changes or suspect the previous owner was negligent on oil changes, consider having a professional mechanic remove and clean the oil pan.
Don't DIY Everything
Cars are just like people. As they age, they require more attention from specialists, especially in the regions most critical to their ongoing survival.
So periodically have an independent repair shop check critical steering and suspension components. Very experienced DIYers can do this work themselves, but even experts might choose to farm it out to someone who does this work every day just for the added peace of mind. If you repack your front wheel bearings can you concentrate on keeping your right foot to the floor while wondering if you'd done the job correctly?

Brake Service At Carolina Tire & Auto In Charlotte
Most Charlotte drivers know that braking means slowing or stopping a vehicle. The mechanical aspects of the brakes themselves are just one issue. There’s also the power brake system and brake fluid. And then there are the tires, which are critical to the effectiveness of the brakes.
Let’s step back. A car or truck rolls brand new off the showroom floor at a local Charlotte dealer. It has brand new brakes with brand new brake pads. The brake lines and the power assist are filled with fresh fluid and are completely clean inside. And the sedan tires are brand new, with full tread. Naturally, braking power is at its peak performance.
Now, as your drive from Charlotte to Charlotte and back, the miles start to add up. Most Charlotte car owners tend to focus on the brake pads. In the Charlotte automotive service community, the pads, and shoes on drum brakes, are called the friction material. That’s because they provide the friction used to stop the sedan. The pads are designed to be effective throughout their useful life – it’s not until they are worn so thin as to be out of spec that they lose stopping effectiveness.
Now, as your drive from Charlotte to Charlotte and back, the miles start to add up. Most Charlotte car owners tend to focus on the brake pads. In the Charlotte automotive service community, the pads, and shoes on drum brakes, are called the friction material. That’s because they provide the friction used to stop the sedan. The pads are designed to be effective throughout their useful life – it’s not until they are worn so thin as to be out of spec that they lose stopping effectiveness.
The mechanical parts of the brakes have pistons and springs that get quite a workout while stopping the sedan. Over many miles, these wear and get gummed up. They start to lose effectiveness gradually and could even fail. That’s why a regular brake inspection is important. At Carolina Tire & Auto, we can test the operation of the brakes and see if any parts need cleaning or replacing.
That leads us to brake fluid service at Carolina Tire & Auto. Some of the critical additives in the fluid that lubricate and clean the sedan fluid system are depleted over time. That and moisture building up in the system deteriorate the performance of the brake fluid. Brake fluid replacement at Carolina Tire & Auto includes flushing the brake system to clean out deposits, water and dirt. Then the system is filled up with fresh fluid.
The tires are what connect the sedan to the road. The stopping force is ultimately dependent on the traction provided by the tires. The better they grip the road, the quicker you’ll stop as you drive around Charlotte.
For questions about brakes, brake pads, brake pads, Brembo braking systems, timing belts and water pumps, or tires, talk to Carolina Tire & Auto manager Jim Seidel.

Now you can switch from Honda PAX wheels to conventional wheel and tires. Carolina Tire & Auto offers several different 16" and 17" Honda Alloy Wheels to fit your lifestyle. Please read the documentation we've provided and call us should you have any questions.
Based on Honda's "recommendations" any DePAX conversions, maintenance and safety are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner. Carolina Tire is willing to supply and offer complete DePAX packages but on an "as is" basis only.
The Carolina Tire & Auto DePAX Kits: With the research you have done online you already know that you can switch from PAX wheels to a conventional wheel and tire. We offer several different 16" and 17" Honda Alloy Wheels to fit your lifestyle. You can reuse lug nuts*, tire pressure sensors^ and center caps~ from the PAX wheels or you may purchase new sets for a more "turn key" installation. Each kit priced below includes 4 wheels and a spare tire kit.
- *Different style lug nuts are required for 2005-2006 models if you choose a 2007 or newer alloy wheel design.
- ^It is highly recommended if you are reusing your sensors that your replace the valve stem assemblies. New tire pressure sensors come with valve assemblies when you order.
- ~Kit5 includes center caps that will match the wheel design and color.
- Only our spare kit includes a tire. You will be responsible for selecting an appropriate tire for your wheels from Carolina Tire & Auto Centers.
Selecting Appropriate Honda Tires: In order to buy safe tires for your Honda Odyssey Carolina Tire & Auto recommends to look for conventional tires that will most closely match the stock PAX specifications. You may match up any brand tire you wish but we have supplied our recommendations below.
| Size | Tire | TreadwearRating | Traction/ Temperature | Load/ Speed | Load Rating Per Tire | Tire/ Speed | Overall Diameter |
| 235-710R460A | Michelin PAX | 500 | A/B | 104T | 1984 | 118 | 28.0" |
| P235/65 R16 | 16" Michelin Energy LX4 | 500 | A/B | 103T | 1929 | 118 | 27.9" |
| P235/65 R16 | 16" Continental ProContact + | 740 | A/B | 103T | 1929 | 118 | 28.0" |
| P235/60 R17 | 17" Michelin Energy LX4 | 500 | A/B | 102T | 1874 | 118 | 28.0" |
| P235/60 R17 | 17" Continental ProContact + | 740 | A/B | 102H | 1874 | 130 | 28.1" |
Proper Load Rating: To figure the tire load rating multiply the rating of the tire by 4. For example a 17" Michelin Energy LX4 has a load rating of 1874 pounds. This number multiplied by 4 gives you a total of 7496 pounds. A 2007 Touring model with PAX tires comes in at a curb weight of 4678 pounds. This will leave you with 2818 pounds of vehicle load which includes passengers, cargo and tongue weight if you are pulling a trailer. The max load limit for the 2007 Touring is 1208 pounds according to the owner's manual. That being said even at full vehicle load you would still have 1610 pounds leftover.
Touring Model Informational Display: If air pressure in a tire drops significantly on a vehicle designed to use a PAX system, a message appears on the multi-information display telling the driver it is OK to keep driving on the PAX wheel. This is because a PAX tire can be driven on even when it is significantly under inflated or flat. This message will appear even if the vehicle is subsequently outfitted with conventional wheels and tires. Therefore if this message appears after DePAXing you should treat and address the issue as you would a conventional wheel and tire setup. You will no longer be able to drive safely on severely under inflated or flat conventional tires.
Additional information about the PAX system can be found at http://www.michelinman.com/pax.
The most popular Honda wheel option is the slotted wheel: Brand new regular tires, brand new Honda wheels, reusing your old TPMS sensors and reusing your old center caps = $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 depending on your size tire and wheel. These will be 70,000 mile treadwear warranty tires.

Honda Disclaimer: American Honda Motor Company will not approve and warranty any non-PAX tire/wheel assemblies regardless if you are replacing with Genuine Honda equipment as we are offering below. Their stance and we quote is the following.
"American Honda strongly recommends that you replace the original PAX tires only with new PAX tires of the same size and speed rating. Using any non-PAX tire/wheel assemblies on a vehicle originally designed for PAX tires poses significant safety concerns and is not recommended or approved by American Honda."

Every car owner who has taken their car in for an oil change has been told that their engine air filter’s dirty. Here’s what goes into the determination of when to change the filter: First, your sedan owner’s manual will have a recommendation of when to change the filter. Second, a visual inspection by your Charlotte technician may determine that your filter it is visibly dirty and needs to be changed.
So between your sedan owner’s manual and your Charlotte technician’s inspection there’s really no guesswork involved.
Now, most air filters purchased in Charlotte don’t cost a lot to replace. It’s just that NC people hate getting caught with an unexpected expense. On the plus side, though, changing a dirty air filter at Carolina Tire & Auto can often save enough on gas to pay for itself before your next oil change.
Think about a dirty furnace filter in your Charlotte home. When it’s all clogged up, enough clean air can’t get through. In your sedan, that means that your engine can’t get as much air as it needs to burn the fuel efficiently. So it makes do with less air and has to use more gas to move your vehicle around Pineville roads.
Your sedan actually needs about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gas it burns. Engine air filters don’t cost much in Pineville at Carolina Tire & Auto. When it’s time to change yours, just get it done. You’ll save money, have better performance and protect your engine.

Carolina Tire & Auto to Give Back $17 Million Dollars to Charlotte Drivers
Gas prices continued an upward climb today, settling at an average price of $3.59 a gallon, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced today.
In some places, Charlotte consumers are already seeing gas prices over $4. Today's weekly gas price average was up 40 cents from a year ago, and up by seven cents from last week.
"I'm expecting the national average to float dangerously close to $4 a gallon," Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com's senior petroleum analyst, recently told ABC News. DeHaan said that following last week's average price per gallon of $3.53, gas prices are very close to "that psychological $4 mark."
So how is Carolina Tire & Auto going to give Charlotte, North Carolina back $17,000,000.00 dollars in gas savings? "Simple math" says Jim Seidel, president of Carolina Tire & Auto.
There are over 1.7 million people living in Charlotte, NC. For every person that comes to a Carolina Tire & Auto location with a paid gas receipt of at least $10 bucks, they give you $10 bucks back. What's the catch? There isn't one really. If you drive a car you need services performed to it. Services like oil changes that save you on gas. Products like Continental tires that manufacture fuel saving tires. So the next time you need an oil change, tires or any auto repair service or general maintenance that totals at least $40.00 at any Carolina Tire & Auto location and you give us your gas receipt, we'll give you $10.00 bucks off your bill right there on the spot.
"We have over 25,000 current customer right now and we'll start with them", added Mr. Seidel. That's $250,000.00 back to just the customers at Carolina Tire & Auto. This promo will stay up as long as gas prices are above $3.00 per gallon or supplies run out.
