You will find affiliate links on BrakeTireGuide. Below is when they apply, what we get, and what it costs you.
In practice
If you buy something after following one of those links, the retailer pays us a small share. You pay the same price either way.
Which links pay
You do not have to guess which links pay. Pages carrying them say so, and this page is reachable from the footer everywhere on the site.
The basis for a recommendation
What informs a recommendation is public and checkable: spec sheets, official documentation, published standards, and aggregated owner experience. If a piece of writing rests on personal use, it says so; silence on that point means it does not.
Price and stock
Nothing on a retailer’s page is under our control, least of all price and stock. Any figure in an article was accurate when written and should be checked against the shop before you act on it.
The legal requirement
United States rules require this page. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guides, a material connection between a publisher and a recommended product has to be disclosed clearly and near the recommendation itself, which is what we do.
What is not for sale
Recommendations follow from what the product actually does in the situation we describe. Commission never decides what appears on a car brake and tire maintenance page, and no advertiser reviews our writing in advance.
Advertising space
Google AdSense fills the advertising space automatically. We do not choose those advertisers and we do not vouch for them.

Questions about any specific link, or about a recommendation you think is mistaken, are welcome through the contact page.
