The world as a whole currently faces several dramatic problems. There is bound to be a problem almost anywhere you go, even in schools, stores or just everyday life. With all of these problems, everyone is determined to find a solution. Out of all the problems, in my opinion flat tires really stick out to be a huge problem. My idea to fix this problem is by getting rid of tires as a whole.

There aren't many things in life that are more annoying than getting a flat tire when it's least expected. Not only are tires super expensive and a pain in the butt, they are also bad for our environment. If one day, you are out and about running errands, and you get a flat tire, you would have to go through the trouble of locating a spare and changing it. If you are unable to change the tire yourself, you will have to call the AAA Road Service. When a spare tire is placed on a car it is not meant to be driven on for a certain amount of miles. You would have to pay a large amount to get the tire replaced as soon as possible without causing damage to your vehicle therefore causing you more money in the long run.

Tires are a serious environmental concern in several different ways as well. Part of the concerns lie within the makeup of the tire. When tires are …show more content…

I believe floating devices would be the best option in this case for many reasons mainly solving problems we encounter daily. With the car being able to float you will not encounter the inconveniences that tires in general create. And besides, how cool would it be to drive a floating car? By having these, they wouldn’t put out the extra toxins causing some of our environmental problems. They could also reduce less accidents causing safer transportation for everyone. With this plan, you would no longer have to deal with the embarrassment of getting a flat

  • Bedroom Tax Affected People Essay

    1794 Words  | 4 Pages

    Britain is currently undergoing the biggest overhaul of the welfare system since its introduction. The welfare system was first established with the assurance that people less fortunate would be able to have a standard of living that would ensure equality. But the recent amendments brought into place by the current government’s legislations may see the biggest divide between rich and poor since the days of the work houses. How will claimants be affected and who will be affected the most is an issue that will be examined more closely. The current government believes that Britain has become a welfare dependant state and according to BBC news (2013) 2.49 million are currently unemployed; those who are unemployed will also have entitlement to housing benefit and council tax benefit. All claimants will be affected by what will be known as Universal Credits. Universal credits will combine all existing benefits in to one payment; the amount a household can claim in welfare will be capped, this new system could have a catastrophic impact on people’s lives. Furthermore the government does not believe that a person should have full housing benefit if the home in which they reside has extra bedrooms, so introduction of the Bedroom Tax was implemented April 2013. The National Housing Federation website has given a detailed description of who will be affected and the implications it may have on tenants. But already only three months in to the bedroom tax and it has been reported “more than fifty thousand people have fallen behind on their rent and face eviction” Independent (2013). This report is going to concentrate on the affects the aptly named Bedroom Tax is having on people’s ...

    From both foreign countries and the United States, complaints state that the tires lose their casings when traveling at high speeds. The tire maker claimed it knew nothing of the tread problems until late July, yet consumers have warned the company since the mid 1990’s (Nathan). It also stated that the complaints it finally received did not raise any “red flags” because in relative terms, few tires had failed; less than one in every 10,000 of the 47 million ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires produced since 1991 have failed (Nathan). Most of the recalled tires came from the Decatur, Illinois plant, the main concentration of the investigation. The company claimed that a workers’ strike at that plant in the nineties, when replacement workers made the product, caused most of the problems.

    The lack of available social housing is mainly due to stock levels steadily diminishing each year since 1980, after tenants bought nearly half-a-million council houses under the ‘Right to Buy’ scheme. This coupled with the decline in house building; which is currently at its lowest level since 1946, has brought about a shameful lack of affordable public housing (Turffrey, 2010).

    they are not really round. There is a flat spot on the bottom where the tire meets the road. This flat spot is called the contact patch. This helps the tire have more space on the ground so that the square inch area touching the ground is higher. By doing this, You don't need as much pressure in the tire. Tires usually only need 30 pounds per square inch. You can figure out how much four tires can hold by adding the square inches touching the ground and multiplying it by four (all tires). Then you must add in the area pressure of all the tires. You find this by finding the area of the tire in square inches and multiplying that by 30.
