#Concord xline drivers
With free Wi-Fi and USB charging on board, great value fares, next-stop announcements and drivers that are helpful and friendly, it really is the best way to go. Don't drive, get driven.īuses are comfortable and easy to spot in their smart gold colour scheme. I've had four sets of tires go over 70k miles, including those on the 2000 Silverado 1500.Welcome to X-lines, your fast, direct bus links from Go North East to get you to work, to the shops, or off for a nice day out. I adjust the pressures for the next tire rotation stint, based on the wear patterns measured in Step 5.ĭoing this, I get exceptional tire life and even wear. (My 2002 M3 has staggered, directional tires. I measure and record tread depths immediately prior to tire rotation, which I do every 5k to 8k miles when applicable. I check, adjust, and record the pressures about every three weeks, and before and after a day on a road trip.ĥ. (I've caught bad factory alignments on two new vehicles: 1996 Nissan 200SX SE-R, and a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500.)Ĥ.
I check the wear after about 3k miles on a new car, to make sure I don't have alignment problems. I measure and record the tread depths (four points across the tire) of the tires when they're new.ģ. If a drastic weather change in predicted, a adjust the pressures to compensate for that (+- 1 PSI for every +- 10 degrees F).Ģ. I record the date, mileage, outside temperature, and pressures. I measure the pressure in the morning, when the car is cold and before sunlight heats up the tires. Start with 10% over the recommended pressures on the door decal. I've found that Conti's need more pressure than similar Michelin tires to wear evenly. Non-RFT's should give you about one percent better fuel economy than RFT's.
Tire store Bubba's are all to willing to sell you the wrong size because that's what they have in stock. You'd want to compare highway fuel economy since that has fewer variables (traffic, traffic lights, etc.) Make sure the new tires are the correct size and load rating.
