Tire Quotations | Page 2

I would like to know how it could take us 10 years, dozens of lives, numerous lawsuits, substantial consumer complaints, tire replacements overseas and repeated expressions of concern by an insurance company before any action was taken to initiate an investigation into the safety of a product being used by millions of American families. Simply put - the American people deserve better.

I would like to get a call from Goodyear to do a tire test because they haven't called us to test for a while. I feel like we have paid the price a little bit. We have called them and asked them why we aren't tire testing.

Michelin and the industry continue to pass on rising material costs through tire price increases. Tire price increases have been crucial to offsetting the projected 15 percent increase in raw material costs Michelin will feel in 2005 (approximately 450 million increase vs. 2004).

Without a doubt, this tire rule will increase car counts, especially at the USA Nationals, and provide the fans with very close, intense racing.

You always want the lowest price tire and we work really hard to accomplish that.

We don't want to overwork him and tire his leg out, ... We've just go to be smart there. We'll see where that takes us.

We estimate the assumption of these contracts by Tennessee Tire Recyclers and the pending closure of our Tennessee facility in September will relieve us of obligations that have negatively contributed to our operating losses over the past several years and will positively impact our overall corporate cash flow by over $150,000 per month. We anticipate the transition of assigning all contracts to be completed within 90 days and will redeploy all remaining Tennessee equipment to other locations during that timeframe.

We don't full-court press a lot, but we do play full-court defense. We feel we're a deep team that can tire people out. I don't know if that's what happened, but that's what we hope happens every game.

Well, we just had a very tough weekend. Our car wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, either. It's hard to take when you run 490 laps and have a flat tire with 10 to go.

We'll tire ourselves out where we need more people in the game. But anytime your eight goes against our eight, we think we have a great advantage.

We had to stop to change another tire and lost more time. I will not have fond memories of my passage through Portugal on the Dakar Rally.

We have a little different theory about when teams get runs on us. We like to keep it up tempo and tire teams out.

The putts break toward the diamond lane on the freeway here. I had a putt break toward a call box, so I know it depends on what lane. I missed a two-footer because a guy was changing his tire in my line.

(Tiverton) was really playing a much smarter game than we were. I knew we had more talent. I knew we had more depth. And I knew if we could put the puck in deep and make them carry it the whole way we could tire them out. And that's what we did.

Tomorrow tire conservation is going to be tricky with the surface changes and all concrete on the track. I think we have done a good job and Jorg put in a great lap. We are always nipping on their heels in qualifying and that is the way we like it. But the real result up for grabs is tomorrow.

Yeah, I had some wrecks before the HANS that really hurt me. This past year, I had a right-front tire blow out at Michigan, and I probably hit harder than I did at Atlanta. And I went and practiced my Cup car 15 minutes later.

There is a tremendous amount of information that we're pouring through, everything from tire tests to rollover data going back 10 years,

Tire track were frozen on the track in the early spring. I felt every year it hurt our skill people. It's going to be a boost to performance.

Tire debris and wheel shrapnel resulted in damage to the No. 2 engine, puncture of three fuel tanks, and severance of several hydraulic lines and electrical wires. Additionally, a large hole was torn in the top wing skin which covers the wheel well area.

This stuff is really cool. I got to meet a whole new group of people. And I'm just having a good time. I don't have to worry about a stupid shock absorber or spring or a tire pressure. I'm having lunch and having a good time.

You must never tire fighting Satan.

I will be patient till even patience tires of my patience.

If you attack Ann Coulter, you don't end up with your cat killed or your tires slashed.

A hobbyhorse can be a tiring ride for nonenthusiasts.

Race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident,real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counterproductive.

We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life, it is because we tire of our responsibility.

We as a tire manufacturer have recommended a tire pressure on these tires of 30 PSI, ... We believe very strongly that 30 PSI provides consumers with additional safety margin. With 30 PSI, the Explorer can handle over 400 pounds extra load.

We have great depth and a great team. We need all of our warriors in the rotation. Our philosophy is to tire the other team.

When my tire blew, that instantly sent a message to me to be more patient. And even when there were times I had to be aggressive, I didn't have to do it with the front bumper.

This remains a tire issue, not a vehicle issue.

We're nine deep when we're all healthy, and even if you have to take away one of those, we're still eight deep. Teams have to worry about so many weapons that, if we do lose somebody - and you hate to use this phrase - we have a spare tire we can put on and not lose too much.

We knew it was going to be tough. But our feeling was if we could tire them out we were going to win the game. And that's exactly what happened.

Without the spontaneous joy of play in the equation, kids may tire of their one sport and quit. And when they quit, they rarely come back to that sport again.

Without a big corporate deal it was hard to pull off. People jumped in and helped like the Lopez family. ... They paid the whole tire bill, but I don't think they want us to talk about that. They are some devoted Dale Sr. fans.

We will inspect the tire for damage or excessive wear and ensure the tires are inflated to the level specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. If there is a problem, we will remedy the situation to the customer's satisfaction.

We were excited to play on a big pitch and we're a team that passes it around well. We knew we would tire them out.

While tire pricing remains strong, high raw material prices and potentially weak high-margin markets (North American and European replacement truck tire markets) could provide offsets.

We had a similar motorcycle fatality in that exact same spot on December 4. The tire tracks for the two were only about a foot apart. It is a negotiable, well-marked curve, however.

There is no reason in this world this tire made it. It should have blown five laps ago. I knew it was going to be bad. Ten laps into the race, I could feel it. I just slowed down and kept her straight and didn't spin the tires.

We had a great car, we just had that right front go down, ... I just screwed up and got back up there and then screwed up on pit road (speeding). Then we cut a tire down. We had a good car all day, a great car.

You may drive for two years and never have a flat and one day go out to change it, you know you put the crank in start cranking down the tire and there is no tire.

We tested new construction designs for all four AMA classes and all showed improvement over our 2005 race tire designs. We also evaluated some new compounds. This may be the first race of the year for the teams, but we are ready with construction designs and compounds proven to be effective on this track.

We slowed down the offense and concentrated on defense for a while. This will either tire out the team on offense, or defense. Unfortunately, it wore us down a bit.

We just lost the front end coming off Turn 4. I'm not really sure if a tire went down or what. The car just took off toward the wall.

We certainly want to go out on top of our game at Bristol with a strong run and I think we're primed to come in there and do just that. The fact is that we had a car that should have won the spring race at Bristol and looked like we were certainly headed that way until we had a right-front tire go down.

We like to try and tire the other teams out and create a lot of turnovers. We like to disrupt them a little bit.

We could probably run a race right now without spectators because we are still working on those areas to get fences in place and other safety barriers. If we had to run a race five days after the 500, with the exception of some of the white lines and tire barriers, we could do that.

Billings was looking real good for us. We were going to pick up a win and ended up cutting a tire while leading the race with a couple of laps to go. It just kind of set the tone for our whole trip out here. We struggled at Elma and coming here tonight, getting a top three is good, but really we were looking for more than that.

Every team should have the chance to do a tire test. You have a situation that is not equal for everyone.

At 2-1 we gave ourselves a little hope. The hope was that the crowd would get a little edgy, which they were starting to do, and that Rangers would tire after midweek. But the third goal was crucial. It was a bridge too far.

At 2-1 we gave ourselves a little hope, ... The hope was that the crowd would get a little edgy, which they were starting to do, and that Rangers would tire after midweek. But the third goal was crucial. It was a bridge too far.

The results of these tests, coupled with Ford's analysis of the problem of tire aging, will allow federal regulators to make informed decisions about the safety of the replacement tires in question,

The tire went down, lost air pressure. We talked to Jimmie and he had felt the tire start to go down in Turn 1. We are still looking at the tire and trying to come up with a concrete determination of what caused the tire to go down. We don't know if it was a puncture or wear related at this point.

The tire-leasing is not specifically designed to eliminate testing. It has the huge purpose of eliminating tire testing. I'm not talking about running a race track; I'm talking about taking 50 tires to an independent lab and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars testing. It's definitely designed to eliminate that. And quite frankly, we're only three weeks into that, but it's working pretty good.

The tire business did break even on a cash basis but not on a full-loaded cost basis, or the total costs incurred to run that business.

Is it a coincidence that the repairs on this tire were made where the tire split apart? This is not a coincidence. The tire industry has been condemned here. . . . The tire was coming apart where the puncture repairs had been made.

It was an eight-man decision on top of the box to take two or four, we decided to go with a conservative decision because we already had two cars in the fence that were running up front and doing good because of tire trouble.

The Strip is a very nice facility. It's a little bit of an altitude track. I don't know if we expect to see huge numbers here, but certainly we'll see a lot of really good racing. I think the more passes all of the teams get on this new tire the better the racing is going to be.

I've lived nearby since 1981 and probably have averaged one run a week there. That's more than 1000 repetitions, and I have yet to tire of this course.

(Performing live) invigorates you, but life on the road wears you down. The frequencies hitting your ears and the volume can tire you, but you're so elated onstage you don't notice it. The next morning you implode. You do five gigs in a row, have a day off, then seven in a row, day off -- it's a strange kind of torture. You love it, but it destroys you.

Proper tire inflation makes a world of difference in gas mileage.

product claim such as tire type, brand, size, date or location of production, or any other indicator that would suggest that we have safety issues with our tires.

Our engineers are using the most creative technology in the industry to develop this new generation of products that take tire performance to a higher level. The application of relevant technology allows these tires not only to gain credit as true innovations, but also to translate into the kind of driving performance benefits that consumers really want.

A 'D' is like running around on bald tires. A 'D' is a warning sign. Maybe we've got a few more miles before a tire blows out.

This is the biggest joke in racing that I've ever seen. It's just terrible. Everybody's just out there knowing at any moment the tire could pop. It's pretty embarrassing for our sport.

They're still analyzing it. It looks like we maybe had a brake bracket failure or something, I really don't know. The tire is flat and we've got some broken parts, so we've got to take a look at what happened.

This morning's running was wet and although Mark managed to put more mileage on the FW28 we had to stop mid afternoon with a known gearbox problem. Alex was undertaking some tire testing for Bridgestone in the FW27C and also stopped mid afternoon with a fuel pump failure.

It's not the Panthers that tire you, it's the losing during the whole season. You have to guard against becoming morally down.

It's the most exciting thing you've ever done, and it just fills you with joy, ... It just bursts through; it can't be contained. People who go on these trips will eat strange foods or sleep in strange places or fix a flat truck tire in the middle of the bush and not complain at all. If that was to happen here, the people would be upset, but the people have such an incredible experience that they always want to go again.

It is vitally important to safety on our roadways that motorists carefully monitor tire pressure on a regular basis,

It looks like I just lost the front end coming off turn four. Not really sure if a tire went down or what. The car took off towards the wall. The more you let off the gas, the harder it slides. I got in the wall a little bit, but we're going to fix the car and get it ready for the 150's (qualifying races).

Davidson did a very good job today. He let us know the best tire to use in particular conditions and to optimize the speed. I hope we can use this information to get the best results in the qualifying session and in the race.

Ever charming, ever new, when will the landscape tire the view?

That's our story all year long. We come out and we play good defense in the first half. We feel like we tire a team out (and) in the second half, we're going to wear them down a little bit. I think their legs were a little tired in the second half. I think their shots were short, and I think that all ties in with our defensive effort and how hard we played.

The baseline is good. Maybe we can get a couple of tenths off with the race tire by correcting some things. I did four laps at sub-1:38.5 and we've finally got the front end dialed in the way I like it.

The air molecules pass right through the rubber molecules, even without a puncture. People never keep the tire pressure up.

That goes to show that brides are looking for something that's timeless and classic, something they won't tire of wearing and looking at." ()

It's clear that the company is redoubling efforts to strengthen itself and build a competitive advantage. Anything that distracts the management from doing just that will be de-emphasized. The sale of its National Tire and Battery unit is a step in that direction.

I've got to thank Mopar and Paul Kistler for getting our engine program back where it needs to be, ... Tonight it was just rubber down and holding our own. We had no tire left, we were just lucky it stayed up. The bad thing about Chico is when you get an early number in qualifying, you're in trouble. The later the number the better here.

No matter who we play, we try to give the opposing quarter, the point guard, hell. Whether it's Lindsay Whalen or her replacement, we're going to do our best to wear them down, tire them mentally and physically. We feel like that is the head of the attack weapon.

No matter how many times we play these songs live, we don't tire of them. We love that some of them have become a soundtrack to people's lives - that people remember where they were when that song became important to them. Hey, that's the way we feel when we hear an old David Bowie or T.Rex song.

They were all solid in the freestyle, but they were all different. Hilary chose the butterfly, which is all about technique. If you try to muscle your way through it, you're going to tire yourself out.

It was just one of those things. When the tire grabbed it sent him into the wall at about a 45-degree angle. The impact tore up the front end pretty good. We hadn't made a full pass on the car yet. We were just working on the car.

It was a frustrating day for me. Somebody touched me in the back tire and punctured it.

These things aren't indestructible. They are made out of rubber. Every passenger car sold in the United States is sold with a spare tire, and they're sold with a spare tire for a reason.

At the end the team informed me about the tire problem that Juan Pablo had, ... and I pushed a bit more and we turned the engine up again and tried to put some pressure, but it was too late.

Their goal is to use time and a battle of nerves to tire us, to intimidate us, to make us doubt our objectives, to sow dissension and turn it into a contentious political debate.

I'm going to give myself a B-minus. In practice and qualifying I thought I made a lot of progress. But then in the race we got unlucky because we blew a left-front tire right off the bat. Later in the race I spun when I was trying to get by someone-- that was just a rookie mistake, but I managed to save the car and not hit the wall.

In general, the tire industry in the United States is facing a number of serious economic issues. Significant among them is fierce competition from low-cost producing countries, which has made it very difficult for U.S.-based production facilities to manufacture tires at a profit.
