Kieran1975 1st Gear April 25, 2007 Share April 25, 2007 Hi guys, do you change your tyres by mileage or years? My shoes almost going to be 2 years old and has already clocked 40K. Still look new and has about at least 60% of the thread left. Do you think it is necessary to change? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzrmazda3 6th Gear April 25, 2007 Share April 25, 2007 (edited) Generally is like 2 years or 40K whichever comes first However, some Bros here judge based on the thread marking indicator on the tyre Edited April 25, 2007 by Mzrmazda3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear April 25, 2007 Share April 25, 2007 [reply] That was what happened to mine. I tot still new but still decided to change then when change tyre that time inside botak Bro, care to elaborate that you meant inside botak? Do you mean the thread pattern inner side worn out, or after removing the tyre internal something worn out? If it is thread pattern inner side worn out likely its the wheel alignment need to adjust.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still look new and has about at least 60% of the thread left. Do you think it is necessary to change? I think general guideline is around 2 years or 40k km..... Or alternative you can try a few hard braking in wet and dry road to confirm the grip, but do the hard braking safely, watch out for other fellow drivers....
