"WEEKEND STAR" OA FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2001 - 31 A Toyota Racing De boats, snowmobiles and butt. That's right Toyota fig- ures if it's going to make accessories available for its cars, it might as well do the same thing for their trucks and SUVs. * gs 2S £ ly Toyota is not the only company that believes in this. trend; Nissan and Mazda also has their add ons. The big difference is that these companies have yet to bring their own styling house into the pic- ture (i.e.: Nissmo for Nissan) so for now we are limited in the accessories - available that are manufac- turer supported. It's ably a matter of time before these companies jump on the band wagon which means that it won't be long before all of us out there will be able to lease 180 to 200 horse powered, lowered, 18 inch wheeled, skirt packaged "Rice Rocket" sedan. So the next time you pull up to a set of lights and you hear this rumbling noise but don't see a 69 Chevelle, it's OK, it's just the next wave about to leave you standing still. Courtesy of Danny Tang 'Whitby Toyota It's almost ask is to invest in high ality I" and not maintain them afterwards. Be' they factory installed tires or aftermarket replacements, it's extremely important to rotate tires every 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers. This operation guarantees that the tires will wear' out evenly and. . consequently last longer than non-rotated tires. To' 'make sure that you | do 'it right, consult' the "Owner's Manual" which includes all the "information. necessary about when - and how to do this most important task. So, if you drive "an average of 24,000 km a year, your tires should be rotated twice a year. By doing so, you should make sure that you prop- erly balance the tires and wheels with all their weight distributed equally. Any unbalanced tire will cause shimmying or tramping that will result in unwanted. vibrations in the steering wheel and, in' 'the worst. cases, throughout the car. Not only is, this very . unpleasant, but it does accelerate tire shop will balance your wheels for a few! : If your vehicle has a tendency to "pull" on one side, this is a sure sign that your wheels are not properly aligned and this should be corrected as soon as pos- * sible. Improperly aligned wheels do make the vehi- cle bothersome to drive, but it alsé wears out tires unevenly and very fast. It's also very important. to check your tire pressure on a monthly basis. Adequate tire pressure will help you get the most performance in lateral grip, stability and long tread wear. This may sound extreme to some, butits also very important to wash your tires from time to time to get rid of dirt, grit and other damaging materials. You should also take the opportunity to make a visual inspection of your tires to check for any damage, uneven tread wear or any other problems. There is a category of motorists who clean their tires on a more than regular basis for the sake of admiring their inno- vative BFGoodrich® Tires Scorcher T/A®: These high performance tires are unique in that sections of their tread are colored. You even have a choice of colors: red, yellow and blue. If you want to add a touch of distinction to your car, van or truck, this is the tire to look for. Tires don't need much care and maintenance and that is probably why people ignore them. But, take a few minutes from time to time to check them and maintain them. They will perform better and last longer. \ny tire; Hwy. 7835 Box 567 i Lindsay, Ontario Cheverdlet Oldsmobile : Cadillac Corp. i Tel: : 705-324-3533 Fax: HEATHER JONES 705-328-2657 SALES & LEASING REPRESENTATIVE RES. 905-986-4690 I'S WORTH THE DRIVE UP HWY, 35 | ONTARIO EYOLDYY o TILT STEERING ° 6 WAY ADJUSTABLE SEATS : * DIGITAL CLOCK ° FULL CLOTH * SPORT WHEEL COVERS » INTERMITTENT WIPERS ¢ SPLIT REAR FOLD .
