Here are some more information for Tires Nos Vintage:
Near a decade ago, a movie about illegal street racing in Los Angeles was released in the big screen. That movie, The Fast & The Furious, spawned three other sequels and pushed import street racing into the forefront of pop culture. A genre of youngsters grew up worshipping Japanese sports car in the way many boomers of the 1960s and 70s were worshipping Mustangs, Corvettes, and Camaros.
Mazda RX-7: Four-wheeled Star
Among the favorites from the movie was the 1993 Mazda RX-7 that Dominic Toretto drove in the street racing scene. Turbo-charged and nitrous-boosted, the fire engine red RX-7 kept Dominic as king of the streets. Just like any royalty, the Mazda RX-7 was regally attired. It had a Veilside body kit and custom headlights to make it stand out. The dagger-spoke wheels, also from Veilside, added to the sleek finish. Toyo 18-inch tires were installed for the best street handling.
One very unforgettable scene was when the racers were priming up and Toretto lifted the passenger seat to 'arm' the four-tank NOS (nitrous oxide system). Using NOS was key to Toretto's victory. More specifically, it was the timing of its use. During the race, O'Conner, one of the competing drivers and co-lead character, also used NOS to get ahead. But he used it too early and Toretto was able to overtake him for the victory.
Throughout the entire race, the red RX-7 that Toretto drove was prominently featured. The car was built for speed. Powered by the legendary twin-turbo rotary stock engine, Dominic Toretto's Mazda RX-7 produced 255 horsepower. Fans and owners also often point to the unique engine sound as what made the car great.
The Mazda RX-7 began selling in 1979 until 2002 to be replaced by the RX-8. The 1993 model was a third, and last, generation. Car owners who bought the RX-7 cited the zippy performance of the car as its main selling point. The low weight and powerful engine gave the car an impecably precise handling that made it fun to drive. These were the things we saw Dominic Toretto do with the Mazda RX-7 in The Fast & The Furious.

Why Keeping Your Tires In Good Shape Helps Protect Your Wallet
It can pay dividends, literally, to keep your car's tires in good shape. If you don't make sure that your car's tires have the proper air pressure, are rotated regularly and in good alignment, then you harm your car's fuel efficiency. Given the way fuel prices are, that can add up pretty quickly. So, learn what you need to do to keep your four rubber tires working their best to keep your fuel bill to a minimum, and get the added benefit of doing your part to protect the environment.
One of the easiest things related to tire maintenance to keep under control is inflation. Your tires have to have a certain amount of air pressure to work properly, and you need to check them every so often to see if they are in the proper range. Each pound of pressure that your tires are under inflated will cost you .4% of your fuel economy, so make sure that your tires are properly inflated! If you don't know what the proper PSI of your tires are, you will be able to find one listed in your glove compartment. Also, make sure that all your tires are evenly inflated. Unevenly inflated tires will lessen fuel efficiency almost as much as under inflated tires. Make sure that you keep track of your tires' pressure. It's as easy as checking a gauge every now and then, so do it.
During the colder winter months, you will have to pay special heed to your tires' pressure. That is because as the air cools, the air pressure in your tires will drop. In fact, it is one pound of pressure for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. So, during the winter, you will likely have to add a bit of air during the colder months, which in turn will help your tires cut through the slushy, snowy muck that can form them.
Keeping your tires properly rotated can also greatly improve your fuel economy. Tire rotation ensures that no one area of your tires gets excessive wear. If you are not sure of the right way to rotate your tires, check your car's owner's manual. You should have your tires rotated twice per year.
When you are ready for a replacement tire, make sure that you purchase the right tire for your car. Check your owner's manual for the right size and type. Desirable characteristics for fuel efficiency include low rolling resistance, and long tire life. When you are purchasing your tires, tell the dealer that you are interested in maximizing fuel economy, and they will help you choose the right tire to do so.
Finally, make sure that your car's tires are all correctly in alignment. This needs to be checked once every year; probably one of the times you have your tires rotated. Tires that are misaligned do not roll freely, and so will consume more fuel, shorten your tires' lifespan, and also impede a vehicle's handling ability.
Also remember that poorly kept tires can be a safety hazard. Racing slicks are good for a track, but not a wet road. Saving fuel money may also save your life.
Keeping your car's tires in good repair is a sound, economical investment. You pocketbook will thank you when you are filling up. Keeping your tires in good condition may even pay for itself.
