Tire control can show you what. Tire management can show you why!
Kabbalistic Analogy of Cause and Effect
Like the known law of physics of action and reaction, in Kabbalah it is explained in terms of cause and effect. For every cause, there is an effect. This analogy applies to just about anything in life, no surprise we can use it for Tire Management. But in Kabbalah there is a big difference in being the cause or the effect. Being the effect means you're allowing chaos and unpredictability to guide our decisions, which are usually reactive in nature. Being the cause means taking charge and responsibility over everything that happens. The big difference is that when you choose to be the cause, you take control of your destiny. Tire control, usually leaves you in the effect position as there is little pro-active action. With Tire management, taking pro-active actions puts you in charge and you become the cause.
If you had to buy all of the cigarettes you will smoke in a year you would probably quit smoking. Not only the amount of money you would spend up-front would cause an impact but also the volume of cartons you'd have to carry out of the store. But since every cigarette is burned slowly, one drag at a time, one cigarette at a time, one box at a time, one carton at a time the effects are masked. Nevertheless you still smoked the exact same amount, just didn't have to spend it up front.
The same goes to tires. Tires are burned one mile at a time, and it takes many miles (sometimes months or years) for you to see the effect of usage. Therefore little action is taken because this slow burn is almost invisible. But if you could see all of the savings your tires could achieve through proper management up-front, everyone would be managing their tires.
