Coefficient of friction of road and tire?
The coefficient of friction between a road surface and a tire is a measure of how well the tire grips the road. It is influenced by factors like the type of road surface, the condition of the road, the tire material, and the tire tread design. A higher coefficient of friction indicates better traction and grip between the tire and the road surface.
Does the tires you use on a crossover vehicles effect the performance of the car on the highway?
Yes, the type of tires always matter when it comes to a car. The tread on the tires depend on how it grips the road and depending on which type of tire you have determines how well the car handles on the highway.
Which companies sell road tires?
There are many companies which sell road tires. Kal Tire, Fountain Tire, Sears Tire and Canadian Tire all sell various sizes of tires. Walmart and Costco have tire shops located in their stores as well.
Is a special form of rolling friction is called traction?
Traction is not a special form of rolling friction but a measure of how well a tire grips the road surface. Rolling friction is the resistance experienced when an object rolls over a surface. Traction is important for vehicles to achieve acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Where can I find a tire changer if I blow a tire out on the side of the road in Ohio?

What are the causes of car pulling to the right?
Faulty alignment would be my first suspect. Check your steer axle tires for unusual wear patterns - particularly, cupping on the inner edge. Check the tire pressure, as well... an underinflated tire has increased surface contact, and thus creates more drag. Steering components are another possibility. Check the U-joints in the steering column for play, as well as the Pitman arm, tie rods, and spring pins and bushings for any slack.
What is the best tire for a 2011 Subaru Outback?
The best tire is the one that you can get a deal on. No one tire is best for everyone, that is why they make so many kinds. You have to decide what is important to you considering how and where you drive. A tire that gets excellent traction probably does not wear so well. Tires that do great on a dry road may not be the best on a wet road. Tires that do well on snow and ice tend to be noisy and wear quickly. Do be sure to replace your tires with the same size that came on your car and replace all four at the same time.

Does switching to narrower width road tire instead of off road tire help with milage?
Yes. Off road tires are heavier so you have more rotational mass to keep going, plus they're harder to stop. Wider tires have more rolling resistance as well. The heavier off road tires also stress the drive train components such as u-joints. The weight and resistance cost you in fuel consumption.
Do your bike grips have to be made by the same brand as your bmx bike?
No. Grips and handlebars are fairly well standardized, so pretty much any grip will fit.
