BOWIE, MD - The Tire Industry Association (TIA), one of the world's leading authorities on tires and wheels, has some tips consumers can use to combat the damage caused by these menaces of the road.

Q: My 2007 BMW 525i has reached 10,000 miles and I was concerned that the oil service light hadn't come on. When I tried to make an appointment for an oil change, the dealer informed me that they wouldn't do it until the oil service light triggered -- and this apparently occurs between 15,000 to 20,000 miles! I'm worried that that's too long. Should I change it anyway?

Q. I took my Honda Accord in for an oil change. Later, looking over the bill, I found that they charged me $1 for a washer. Are they nickel-and-diming me? (Or worse, charging me for something they didn't even need?)
A. Don't blow your radiator cap. It's a buck well spent. You should thank them for doing things by the book--we know of horror stories that occurred when a gas station or lube shop wasn't so careful.

Q. Our 2004 Camry LE with 2.4-liter engine makes a weird sound, almost like a rattle, when accelerating. The service department at the dealership where we bought the car says this is a problem some Camrys have but assures us that it is nothing to worry about.
