This comment from an engineer of a German company, BMW, indi- cates the importance of tires. But many car owners are under the impression that the tire industry has stagnated in terms of innovation since the development of the radial tire in I947. This impression is a false one, however. since it is clear that today's tires wear better and perform better. They are also more expensive, which might be one of the reasons why tire purchasers consider price rather than quality, or worse, why many drive on tires whose worn out treads represent an accident waiting to happen. Don't underestimate importance of tires No one likes to pay out good money on unpla expenses like these, but they do have to be done. Meineke tries to make it a little easier for the cus How? Meineke is the second largest muffler chain in North America, so they have the buying power to offer better prices, and their trained staff provides quality workmanship. And their work is guaranteed at 100 shops throughout North America. Although Meineke started out as a muffler shop, they now handle everything under the car, including alignment, shocks, suspension, ball joints, steering, brakes, oil changes, tires and safety checks. They can even make custom exhausts. That means you will find lower prices on brakes and shocks as well as mufflers. And all the parts they fit are OER or original equip- ment replacement parts. In fact, some local dealers send repairs like catalyt- ic converters to Meineke because Ciaccia can do the entire job for less than the dealer pays for the part alone, ff tomer Ciaccia takes great pride in being a "local boy" who grew up in Oakville. A trained mechanic, he h worked in town in his field since 1979. H OAKVILLE GOODYEAR INVENTORY TIRE CLEARANCE .llf 1m hm OUR BEST ALL-SEASON RADIAL ,5.

A new set of tires can improve the road- handling ability of your car without necessarily breaking the bank. SAVE N od All season tires are a compro- mise. They are not the best tires to challenge a winter storm, nor do they offer the best traction on wind- ing hills. They simply provide good value in normal driving conditions, winter and summer. If you truly wish to improve your car's road handling, a low pro- file tire is recommended. A low profile tire has lower edges, provid- ing more rigid traction. They are also larger and provide a less com- CLEARANCE m unplanm Muff (I Size Nh n tl ude hich H nr as ARRIVA INN INW XNW XNW XNW INW mw ne To accommodate all budgets, Meineke offers two lines of mufflers-. the lifetime warrantied premium mu filer and the lower priced version, which comes with a one-year warranty. For those folks with old vehicles that just want to keep it on the road for anoth- er year or two until they're ready to buy a new car, the latter is a sensible option, And you can be certain that if you come in with a muffler problem, you won t be talked into replacing the shocks as well. "We treat people fairly," says Ciaccia. "I know some muffler shops have a bad name but we don't do that. If they come in for a muffler, that's what they get, at a good price." However, if you would like Ciaccia to check under. neath and ensure that everything is fine, he'll be happy to do that. And if he spots a developing prob- lem, hell let you know. But youve in the driver's seat and you decide what you want to spend and when. It's not surprising then that folks return when they do need alignment or wheel balancing or other under car servicing. They know they won t be getting any "nasty shocks." Ciaccia stresses the value of preventative mainte- nance. Getting a check-up once a year will enable you to spot up-coming problems and allow time to budget for repairs. That keeps customers happy.

Wheel rims should also be changed. It's a good idea to consult a tire specialist about these. fortable ride Car owners can prolong the life of any tires by rotating them regu- larly. Each automaker has its own recommendations, but most suggest tire rotation every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometres. But rotation provides little pro- tection unless you observe a couple of basic rules. The first is to make sure that your wheels are properly balanced. The second is to check the air pres- sure in your tires at least once a month.
