"Studded tires, like snow tires, heat rapidly at high sHeds, resulting in damage to the tread," he explained. Baker said motorists who are remounting studded tires this year should mount them in the same positions they were mounted in last winter. Tire studs, he said, wear at an angle, depending on the direction the wheel turns. If the direction of wheel rotation is reversed, he continued, the studs will rotate in the tire tread in an attempt to correct the angle and may loosen and fall out. Baker also warned winter drivers to avoid mixing tires of different constructions, saying that mixing radial and regular tires could alter vehicle handl- characteristics. "Any type of lire ing a motorist chooses for winter use should be kept properly inflated according to the tire manufacturers specifications" Baker said. "The story that motorists can get more traction out of their tires by bleeding air pressure below recommended levels is pure fiction," he continued. "Driving on tires with less than the recommended air pressure only produces excessive heat buildup, which can cause sidewall about a pound for every to degree change in temperature," tie explained. "That's why it is important to check your tire pressure when you car is outside the temperature that it will be in veil in. Tires checked in a healed garage may show proper air pressures, hut the same tires inmed out into the cold may be in underintlated."
