Popular Toyota Prius Now Runs on Goodyear Tires
North America's largest tire maker was selected to provide its Goodyear Integrity tires for the 2005 Prius.
The tires are designed to offer a smooth ride -- essential to the fuel efficiency targets of the vehicle.The Prius, which qualifies as a "hybrid" vehicle, powered by both an electric motor and a gasoline engine, has an EPA-estimated combined city/highway average rating of 55 miles per gallon. Driving the car at low speeds and by assisting the gas engine during acceleration the battery-powered motor helps save fuel and reduce emissions. No plug-in is required as coasting and decelerating recharge the motor's batteries. The Prius, now has a decent set of tires -- P185/65R15 Goodyear Integrity.
Built to favor fuel economy over luxurious touring or sporty auto crossing, the Goodyear tires roll quietly down the road and generate 0.76 g of sideways stick in the corners and 0.89 g in a straight line under braking.To draw attention to the increasing performance capabilities of today's hybrid vehicles a specially designed Prius set a hybrid vehicle land speed record at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, topping 130 miles per hour.I t must be noted that Prius used unique 26-inch front and 25-inch rear Goodyear Eagle race tires to accomplish the high speed mark. Goodyear tires are original equipment on many vehicles from Cadillac, Chrysler, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Infiniti, Jeep, Isuzu, Lexus, Acura, Mazda, Mercury, Chevrolet, Nissan, Land Rover and Toyota.
The Prius-Goodyear connection also has worked well in an application far different from what drivers of the hybrid car will experience on normal streets and highways.At Partstrain, we carry Toyota Prius aftermarket parts and Toyota Prius performance parts to service all of our customers needs.

Water Purifier Provides Pen-Sized Peace of Mind for Adventure Travelers
Ashland, OR (ContentDesk) August 19, 2005 -- Bob Bestor knew from previous trips to the Far East that drinking water was generally available and fairly cheap. But on a recent trip to Vietnam with his family, he still packed a SteriPEN, a device that delivers high-tech water sterilization in a package about the size of a bulky fountain pen."I've used my SteriPEN when I've gone camping and just felt that it made sense to take it along to Vietnam," Bestor said. "We were traveling with our two young daughters, and I wanted to make sure I could get clean water when we needed it. I'm a pretty careful packer, and I try to avoid taking stuff in the category of things I just ?might' need. But to get that kind of peace of mind from something as small and light as this was just a no-brainer," Bestor added.The peace of mind comes from the application of a well-known sterilization technology?the use of ultraviolet light to kill all forms of viral and bacteria contamination in water?in a lightweight,...

Wireless Dog Containment Systems
There are various types of dog containment systems found for keeping your dog restricted to a certain area. Of the lot, the wireless dog containment system is the most flexible and easy to install. It consists of a transmitter working with a collar receiver. You can take the transmitter of the wireless containment system and use it anywhere you like. The only drawback here is that the area covered by it is usually smaller, and in a pre-defined shape.
To install the wireless dog containment system, you have to put the transmitter in the required room and turn it on.
Then the receiver collar has to be put on the dog. If you want to restrict the dog to only one part of the home or garden, you should use a single transmitter, but if you plan to define two or more areas that are either conjoined or completely separate, you have to use double or multiple transmitter installations. As these transmitters are installed separately, you can put the dog in one place or another,...

Determining the Best Wheelchair Power for you
Do you need a wheelchair, but you are not sure what type is ideal for your body? Or you might be having doubts on buying manually operated wheelchairs. This page can help you decide.Like the automobile, the wheelchair was developed to meet the different needs of different users. Modern wheelchairs have different styles and models. Each has different purpose and permits a lot of adjustments. Wheelchairs were changed according to foot support positioning, arm support adjustment, joystick positioning and upholstery placement.
These are called powered wheelchairs or power wheelchairs.Wheelchairs are divided into two main categories: scooters and powered wheelchairs. The two differ on the way they are steered. A conventional powered wheelchair has an electronic control, such as a joystick, that causes different amounts of power to go to each of the rear wheels to control both speed and direction. A scooter only has handlebars at the end of a tiller that is attached to the front wheel...

Digital Camera on Cruise Ship Vacation
A great time that you have on cruise ship for sure deserves to be preserved for future memory. We all know by now that the best tool for that is a digital
camera. However, proper use of digital camera is not something that everyone is familiar with.
What camera is perfect for me? How to get best of it? What needs to be considered when taking camera on cruise?
Today’s market is overwhelmed with tons of different models and new ones are being launched almost weekly. Top brands cover all aspects of digital
photography as well as all types of users.
First choose the right camera and decide how many mega pixels (MP) resolution you want.
Basic rule of thumb says that 2MP will give you film-quality photos
up to 6x9 inches, 3MP up to 8x10, 4MP up to 11X14 inches and 5MP up to 14x17 inches. Of course, more mega pixels means more expensive camera so this
choice depends on funds you have for this purchase.
Amount of mega...

What?s In Your Hiking Pack?
Every time I leave the pavement, I take along my trusty hiking pack ? even if I have no intention of hiking. Doing this has become a habit rather than a conscious decision. My pack goes with me when a hike, camp, hunt, fish, bird watch and even when I drive out of town. I've been a boy scout and a United States Marine so I suppose I have learned to be prepared for almost anything. My pack is full of items I hope I will never need.
What's In Your Hiking Pack? As an outdoor enthusiast, you have complete control over what you carry or what stays in the car ? such as a cell phone, do you carry one? I wouldn't dare go in the backcountry without all of the items listed below as "Highly Recommend." What's In My Hiking Pack? Here is my list split into two categories with the weight of each item in ounces:Highly Recommend: Cell Phone (5 ounces), First-Aid Kit (9), Flashlight (4), Food - Beef Jerky (4), Insect Repellent (3), Map & Compass (4), Multi-Tool (9), Pack (24), Signal Mirror (1),...

IMO, these sd work 'like a VCR' as far as recording and playback. There are models w/ harddrives, VHS players, etc. built in, but to me that's overboard.Bells and WhistlesThe VHS option is not bad, but you most likely already have one you can plug into the inputs of the DVD recorder.I have a DVD recorder for archiving TiVo shows as opposed to accessing my TiVo from my PC.
