Tyre Change: Mileage or Vintage?

[Kieran1975]

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?

Generally is like 2 years or 40K whichever comes first

 

However, some Bros here judge based on the thread marking indicator on the tyre

yr tire compound may have been hardened by now. better to change ASAP, no point saving money on tires

[Galantspeedz]

It may be the inside that is worn out.

 

That was what happened to mine. I tot still new but still decided to change then when change tyre that time inside botak

[Route88]

You better change,rubber compound can hardened,thus loosing its grip

[Silver_blade]

Agree with you. It's either 40,000km or 2yrs.

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....

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....

Any bro's can recommend a good set of comfort and quiet 205/55/R16 tyre?

My budget is not more than $500.

Around $125 per pcs.

no worries mate, my tires have been on for 2yrs too, 41k km and going strong, still got plenty of thread left. usually i run till it goes bald totally, slightly more than than the wear indicator.

[Galantspeedz]

advisable to go by years as by 2 yrs, ur rubber hardeneed.....braking would be affected

[Elantrahatch]

Yup, same goes for me. My BFG just passed 2 years in Feb 07 but still got a lot of thread left.

 

Think at least use until a bit botak then change. otherwise, very siong...
