Need to repair tyre?

[Kumweng]

HI

I am driving my new car for 5 years and the tyre since day 1 have not change yet. Since my car is an OPC and mileage is only 38K till now. The tyre trend is still going at 80% new.

 

IS there any danger if I carry on using the present tyre for the next following years? Do I need to change all 4 piece?

Will the tyre rubber get harden? Will it affect my braking distance?

 

Please advise...

Personally I will not keep my tyres > 3 years. The money I save does not justify the potential risk.

check your tyre for date of manufacture

 

it's a 4 digit number, such as 1213

 

12: 12th week

13: year 2013

 

given your tyres are at least 5yrs old... it's probably safer to change. rubber will harden (potential crack) and also lose grip during normal driving.

Hi there, I would recommend you to change into a new set of tyres. Tyres doesn't last more than 5 yrs on shelves n usually max 2-3 years on the road. The rubber quality would have deteriorated since they were manufactured in 2009. You may have safety issues.

 

I would encourage you to have a look around and change your tyres.

 

Cheers!

I believe is year 2009

read the Michelin local website the Michelin tyres allow till 6 years safe on the road

I am sure as Official agent here is confident of their Product Quality

only thing is their Warranty registration that need to be understand more

is a general view that replace tyre when is near Botak or 3-4 year

Makes economic sense to replace your tyres now and drive till scrap, rather than replace them near to scrap date and benefit the scrap yard.

Safety in of prime importance. Just replace them altogether, your safety during your ride solely depends on the 4-palm-sized of your hardened tyres. They are almost 5 years old already... :)

 

I just changed mine two months ago, the manufacturing week and year was 3910 (week 39 year 2010), though the threads looked new and deep....
