Yeah, more like a dictionary than tips. and it is spelled tires. Here is my car care tip: 1. Don't romp the **** out of it if you want it to see 150k miles 2. take it in for service every 25 and 50k miles. 3. when something is worn out or broke, replace it. 4. the CEL is there for a reason, if it is on, get it checked out and fixed. kthxbai.
