A friend and I were out recently buying a new set of tires for the balding Spaldings on her old Mazda. This was her first time buying tires, so we basically listened to the sales guy’s advice on what she should get.
“Well, you know the Eagle Eyes are pretty good,” he began “They’re better for winter driving than the Commanders, but not as good as the Ice Claws. But then again, if you’re on a budget then there’s nothing wrong with the Destinys. Sure, they’ve got a slightly lower mileage than the Evertreks or the Neverending Trails, but they’re definitely going to be better bang for your buck than the Hunter XTs or the Peregrines.”
Seemingly targeted at the little sack of testosterone hanging in the back of guy’s brains, tire names conjure up images of grit, muscles, dirt, and birds of prey. I think we have to presume the big tire companies tested other names, but they just got the thumbs down from the focus groups. That’s why you can’t buy a set of Flying Chickadees, Sidewalk Renegades, or Rainbow Escapades.
But however they came to be, one thing’s for sure — tire names are a tiny bit of hilarious nonsense we can all enjoy.
AWESOME!
I concur on this one as well. They add all the numbers/letters just to emphasize the pure adreneline/testosterone rush.
Give me the Goodyear Armpit Hair P135/R99/Hut/Hike/Steel belted radials.
Love it.
Ha! My truck has Hankooks. Do you mean Hancock, Heather? While an equally silly name, no! I mean my truck has Hankooks.
I think people who invented tire names played video games too much as a kid.
After reading the article, I feel that I need more information on the topic. Can you suggest some resources please?
One word : Blizzaks
Why is “How to get a six pack fast” even here?
That isn’t a name, and no one knows what you said in your post!
It really depends on your goal. If your goal is to be entirely immobile, then by all means, continue doing what you’re doing. If you want to build strength then see a doctor and follow through with therapy. The reason medical intervention didn’t work for anybody you know is because they probably half-assed their recovery and gave up.
I tried to add your feed to my sidebar in Vista, but it won’t let me. Can you suggest a tutorial on how to do it?

I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like yours instead.
There is obviously a bunch to know about this. I suppose you made various good points in features also.
As a Newbie, I am permanently searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you

Ya know, despite the fact that I’m a bona-fide, gasoline-runs-thru-my-veins car freak, I buy all my tires used. As long as they have good tread, they all match, and preferably have whitewalls (I know, I’m old school!) I don’t really care what they are called…..
exactly!
if you know what you’re looking for,junkyard tires can be like new at low low prices!
Rainbow Escapades lol, that would make some name for tires!
My tyres (sorry UK spelling) say “KUMHO”
My tyres (sorry UK spelling) say “KUMHO” on them…that’s some seriously dirty s***t right there.

Maybe the names are given by red Indians?
My favourite tyre name (UK spelling in New Zealand too) was for a Steel Belted Radial called Remington Steel. Any one else old enought to find this funny? (Think early Pierce Brosnan)
If I ever have another daughter, I will name her Allegra. I also have 4 tires named Allegra
