REPLACING ONLY TWO TYRES?

Normally you should buy four tires at a time for an automobile but not everyone can afford to change all four tyres at once. So the next best thing is to change two tyres on either the front or rear axle. Most people think that the sensible thing is to change the front tyres before the rear tyres.

I recently found myself in that situation. The mechanic at the dealership told me to put the front tires to the rear and put the new tires on the front. It made sense when he said it but, as it turns out, it’s not the correct thing to do. 

When replacing only two tyres, the correct thing to do is put the new tires on the rear of the car with the older tires on the front of the car – it prevents fish-tailing during a rainstorm.

You don't have control over your back tyres, so you want your best tyres at the back when entering corners on a wet road. The greater tread depth in the back helps maintain control in wet and slippery conditions. The front tyres can be controlled/steered.

The picture below says it all.

Most Expensive Cars In The World: Top 10 List 2013-2014

Here are 10 of the most expensive street legal production cars on the market (at least 2 available); concept cars are not included.

1. Lamborghini Veneno $3,900,000. The Veneno gets you from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 2.8 seconds allowing you to hit a top speed of 221 mph. Only three cars are being made available every year. If you want to own this hyper-supercar, you will have to be placed on a waiting list along with other aficionados.

2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sports $2,400,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal production car available on the market today (the base Veyron costs $1,700,000). Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, the Veyron is the fastest street legal car when tested again on July 10, 2010 with the 2010 Super Sport Version reaching a top speed of 267 mph (430 km/h). When competing against a Bugatti Veyron, you better be prepared!

3. Aston Martin One-77 $1,850,000. The name "One-77" says it all: beauty and power in One, limited to 77 units. With 750 hp, it is able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a maximum speed of 220 mph (354 km/h).

3. Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster $1,850,000. One of the most exotic cars out there is also one of the most expensive. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h).

We have another tie for 4th place:

4. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built takes third place on the list. It reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds from 0, to go with a top speed of 211 mph (339 km/h). Its rare (limited to 20) and slick design are reasons why it is expensive and costly to own.

5. Maybach Landaulet $1,380,000. The Landaulet is the most expensive sedan on the market and it can go from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. It is one the most luxurious cars ever made, this comes with a convertible roof that fully opens at the rear. This Maybach is made especially for CEOs and Executives who have their own personal driver.

6. Zenvo ST1 $1,225,000. Able to reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 233 mph (375 km/h). The Zenvo ST1 is from a new Danish supercar company that will compete to be the best in speed and style. The ST1 is limited to 15 units and the company even promised "flying doctors" to keep your car running.

7. Hennessey Venom GT Spyder $1,100,000. What makes the 2013 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder is its price tag, a compelling 1.1 million dollars. There is no other convertible in the world today that can match-up with this car. Not to mention that it goes from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds.

8. McLaren F1 $970,000. In 1994, the McLaren F1 was the fastest and most expensive car. Even though it was built more than 15 years ago, it still has an unbelievable top speed of 240 mph (386 km/h) and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even today, the McLaren F1 is still top on the list and outperforms other supercars.

9. Ferrari Enzo $670,000. The most popular supercar ever built. The Enzo has a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h) and able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Only 400 were produced and it is currently being sold for over $1,000,000 at auctions.

10. Pagani Zonda C12 F $667,321. Produced by a small independent company in Italy, the Pagani Zonda C12 F is the 8th most expensive car in the world. It promises to deliver a top speed of 215 mph (346 km/h) and go from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

There is a reason these cars are called "Dream Cars" because you may never even see them. The good news is that even if you can't afford the whole car we can at least sell you the tyres at very affordable price (smiling)

Toyota Highlander Overview

A pioneering vehicle in many ways, the Toyota Highlander was one of the first midsize crossover sport-utilities to be sold in America when it debuted in 2001. With its carlike unibody design, the original Highlander provided a variety of benefits over Toyota's more traditional SUVs, such as better handling, less cabin noise, improved crashworthiness and easier entry and exit for passengers.

Since then, the Highlander has gone on to become one of the most popular crossovers available, appealing to shoppers who want a vehicle with SUV styling, plenty of cargo-carrying versatility and carlike driving characteristics. The second-generation Highlander is larger and roomier than the older model, but a Highlander of any vintage will be one of the better values out there for those who need a comfortable, easy-to-drive vehicle that can carry a fair amount of cargo, handle occasional snow and ice during the winter months and still turn in adequate fuel economy.

The present Toyota Highlander represents the second-generation model, which was introduced for 2008. It's significantly bigger than the previous model in nearly every way, adding shoulder room, hiproom and legroom all around as well as additional cargo capacity. It also has a more powerful V6 engine and other new features.

The tyre sizes of Highlander model 2013-2008 is P245/65R17

The first-generation Toyota Highlander was produced from 2001-2007. It was powered by either a 155-hp four-cylinder engine or a 220-hp 3.0-liter V6

The tyre sizes of Highlander model 2007-2001 is P225/70R17
