Folks ask Hank for a "hybrid tire" every week — and that one phrase means three different things. Nine times out of ten it's a rugged-terrain (R/T) tire: the tweener that splits the difference between a quiet all-terrain and a gnarly mud-terrain. But it can also mean tires built for hybrid cars, which is a whole different animal. Here's how to know which one you actually want before you go shopping.

"Deep dish improves traction." You've read it a hundred times — and it's not quite true. The lip itself grips nothing. What deep dish actually does is open up the barrel for wider tires, bigger brakes, and stronger multi-piece construction. Dennis breaks down what the dish is really for (and where it's pure cosmetics) with the fitment math nobody else explains.

A customer once swore his tires were "rusting." They weren't — they were blooming. That dull brown haze on your sidewalls is oxidized antiozonant, the protective chemical that keeps your rubber from drying out and cracking, working its way to the surface. In other words, it's a sign the tire is doing its job. Hank breaks down what's really happening, the myths he hears at the counter, and how to scrub it back to black without wrecking the rubber. 👇

That little "revolutions per mile" number buried in your tire spec sheet? It's secretly your gearing. A taller tire turns fewer times per mile — which feels exactly like a lazier throttle, slows your highway cruise RPM, and quietly throws off your speedometer. Dennis breaks down what the number really means, why it never matches the simple math, and how far you can resize before a regear makes sense. 👇

Ever run your hand over a new tire and feel all those little rubber whiskers? Customers ask Hank about 'em all the time. They've got a real name — vent spews — and they're just harmless leftovers from the mold. They're NOT wear indicators, they don't quiet your ride, and they won't tell you if a tire's truly new. Here's the full story, straight from the counter: https://www.performanceplustire.com/Blog/rubber-hairs-on-new-tires

Your lug nuts threaded on fine — so they're the right ones, right? Not necessarily. The seat shape (conical, ball, or mag) is what actually clamps the wheel, and a mismatch can "torque to spec" while holding on by almost nothing. Here's how to identify the seat your wheel takes before it costs you a set of lug holes: https://www.performanceplustire.com/Blog/lug-nut-seat-types

Ever notice how some cars look fast just sitting still? Nine times out of ten, that's rake — the nose-down stance that's been making hot rods look mean since the gasser days.

Hank breaks down what rake really is, why it came off the drag strip, and how your wheels and tires set most of your stance before you ever touch a spring. Plus the one mistake that ruins it (hint: don't overdo it). Get the look right:

Bought 80,000-mile tires that wore out at 58,000? Here's the part nobody explains at the counter: a mileage warranty isn't a guarantee — it's a prorated credit, and it only pays out once your tread hits 2/32", the legally bald point most drivers (correctly) replace before reaching.

Dennis breaks down the proration math, the catch that stops most claims, and the fine print — missing rotation records, alignment, inflation — that quietly voids your coverage. Read it before your next set:

How long do affordable tires really last? Most budget tires give you 20,000 to 40,000 miles — roughly two to four years of driving. But the price tag isn't the whole story. Skipped rotations, bad alignment, and rough roads can cut that short fast. Hank breaks down why cheap rubber wears quicker and how to get every mile out of it.

Staring at a $70 tire next to a $190 one in the same size? Cheap tires aren't automatically a bad call — but the wrong ones cost you in wet braking and tread life. Dennis breaks down the real pros and cons, how to read the spec sheet, and the cost-per-mile math that tells you which is actually cheaper. 👉 https://www.performanceplustire.com/Blog/cheap-tires-pros-and-cons
