passenger car tires

After buying 16 inch diameter car tires over many years on a variety of family vehicles here are some thoughts.

#1 buy a vehicle with 16 inch or smaller diameter factory tires.

#2 don't buy a car with 17 inch or larger rims and then decide to get 16 inch rims when you need tires. This is tempting, because 16 inch tires are cheaper than the bigger 17+ inch tires. Many cars will allow smaller rims, but it's a big headache.

If you have lots of money buy:

Michelin
Bridgestone
Continental

in no particular order. These are premium tires. They will generally be quieter.

Otherwise go to Walmart or Discount Tire. Do not go to Costco or Sam's club.

At Walmart or Discount Tire insist on getting their cheaper tires. Get the factory size tire for your car. In 2022 they should run $65-75 a tire. Make sure the tires have a tread warranty of at least 50,000 miles. Get all season radials.

In summary:

Walmart or Discount Tire
Factory size tire
All season radials
$60 - $75 each
Minimum 50,000 mile tread wear
Do NOT get road hazard coverage.

Out the door should be about $470 max.

$300 tires

$120 install

$50 tax

God

Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...

iniquity of the Amorites

Genesis Previous Chapter Gen.15 [ 1 ] After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ... [ 13 ] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [ 14 ] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [ 15 ] And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. [ 16 ] But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. This implies that the iniquity of the Amorites has begun, and will continue 400 years before the elite army of God's priests return from Egypt to slaughter every living thing. Since the old testament is for our examples, we can make a guess at when Christ will return. The recent round ...

pixel 2 XL camera focus

For almost a year the camera focus has been irritating at times. Especially when taking close up pictures. The camera would focus on stuff that was further away because it took up more of the field of view. Then finally this morning the thought occurred, why not click on what you want in focus and see what happens. And here are the results. Notice June 13 is out of focus. By clicking on 13 the focus automatically changes and then take the picture. I'm hopeful that Jesus will figure out some way to get those Google guys into heaven. Here is an example of a fantastic picture ruined by focus problems. Armed with the new knowledge of resetting the focus more fantastic pictures can be produced.
