Qns regarding tyres

[markw12]

Hi, I'm currently driving an Toyota Axio, I'm the co-owner.

 

The car had 2 bald Falken tyres (at the front) and two different brand of tyres in the rear. (nexen/firestone)

 

Recently one of the tyre's rubber got struck by a nail in its sidewall and required a new replacement. Owner doesn't want to replace all of the tyres as the car has a year left and instructed me to install the new tyres in the rear and shift one of the rear tyres to the front.

 

I've got a new bridgestone ep200 but now the front has one firestone tyre and a baId tyre. I test drove the car with new tyres and realized the car isn't so sluggish and am having side thoughts of changing the tyre config.

 

in my case, is it recommended to install new tyres to the rear?  

 

and should i just grab a new tyre (and use it with the firestone tyre)?

Bro, am sure yr life is worth more to yr family than bald tyre.

Axionis front wheel drive so suggest install new tyres in front.

Also different brand of tyres install on different wheel is not recommended as u can imagine different force pulling due varying frictional force.

Please value yr life .. :)

just change the tyre la since Axio tyres not so expensive....size 15" only less than $90 per tyre....

life depends on tyres and brakes

[Hamburger]

Read this last nite and was too annoyed to reply.

[Kangadrool]

KNN, change forklift tyres. Puncture-proof. After car COE expire, transfer to forklift.

 

[Jamesc]

Change 4 $90 tyres only $360.

 

I think your life is worth more

 

than $360 right? There again

 

maybe not as you had to post

 

here to ask this simple question.

 

Btw you din say who the other

 

co owner is, If its your wife or

 

MIL and you are trying to get

 

rid or her and claim insurance

 

then don't bother changing any

 

of the tyres.

 

[Macrosszero]

If you're nickle-and-diming everything to do with this co-owned car, how do you and your co-owner split the petrol bills? Fill in log-book is it? 

 

What's your number plate - so I can stay far away from you on the road. No telling when you might skid into me from one of your four tires giving way because you two were too tight to swap out for a proper roadworthy tire.

[Jamesc]

If you decide not to change

 

all your tyres then if you see

 

a car with MCF sticker in front

 

please don't come so close.

 

If you need to jam brake we all

 

don't want you up our backside.

 

Especially me I lesbian not gay.

 

[Jamesc]

Lets put it another way.

 

$360 a year is just $1 a day.

 

Is your life not worth $1 a day.

 

If its not please post your car 

 

number. We look forwards to

 

avoiding you when we see you,

 

see your car crash picture in the

 

papers and going to buy 4D

 

when you crash. 

 

[Steptronic]

Scrap the car now, stay safe and make roads safe for us instead of playing around with bald tyres!

Haha, how can TS ask such questions here? Flame him, Flame him

i know the seriousness of bald tyres, i'm proceeding to buy new tyres

 

chill all..

Usually types are changed in pairs whereby the front tyres will be will be moved to the back and the front uses the new ones. This is because the front tyres wear out faster due to the front wheel drive as well as the weight of the engine.

 

Having different friction for tyres will cause your car to drift or skid out of control, especially if the axio doesn't have traction control to manage the difference in friction.

 

Hope this provides a good understanding of why u will need to change tyres in pairs.

[markw12]

understood,

 

thanks for the explanation

If your car is near the end of 10 years, why not consider scrapping it?

That will free you from worrying about changing tyres, servicing, changing batteries, repairing gear box etc which can be costly and a hassle.

[Sabretan]

If u think going scrap in a yr or so, go for 2nd hand tyres w abt 60 to 80 percent left. The price will usually b much cheaper than brand new ones.

actually the new pair of tyres should be at the rear, since the rear is lighter n will need the better traction from new tyres

so now, on your front driven axle u have one used tyre and one bald tyre?

 

apart from the uneven grip levels, the different rolling circumferences will also play havoc with the front differential.

 

the uneven grip (between left n right) will be especially evident when driving on wet roads, and good luck if u go over a puddle with the bald tyre.

 

pls change asap
