[Rustyz]

I think change better...that time my tire have this problem the shop say it won't last....as I drive to malaysia often...the shop ask me not to risk...

[Wolverine]

[Garis]

Try South East Tyres near Kaki Bukit...service not bad...

[Wolverine]

on the other hand maybe i save money ...replace with my spare tire and used that cut one as a spare lor

[Systemshock99]

that's a smart move, but then again, you have no 'good' reason to change liao... lolz...

[Wolverine]

it'z either change or save money and change better rims .....tough choice man ......Arrh

[Furrynadz]

change

1) sidewall = cannot repair

2) a spare which is broken is as good as no spare

[Systemshock99]

Go change the both lar... haha then no need to have a tough decision liao... your baby deserve a new shoes and socks...

 

You have a few choices,

 

1) Change the tire

2) Save money change the rim

3) Change both

4) None of the above

 

If you can't choose, choose the most immediate one... haha! I still think number 3 is the best decision... lolz...

hi, just my opinion. you should use the spare tyres , u still need to replace the spare after sometimes/years even if it is not being used. so save up to change for a better rims would be nice

Why don't you try to photoshop your tire? It can look brand new again.

Brother,

 

Any cut on the side may impact the function of the tyre.. do pay extra attention...

 

Check on the imprints on the side wall and look for the * * (anything within the *), it will show you the week & year of manufactured. That will assist you in making the decision.

 

Normal life span is 5 years regardless of on the load or in the shop...

 

Happy Driving...

Nope. not supposed to use the spare for long usage as the rolling diameter will be different from the wheel on the opposite side... i.e. accelerated wear and tear on related parts.

 

Just change the pair of tyres on the axle as sidewalls can't be repaired.

If it's a small cut, and you don't see anything (steel wire), then just replace from spare. Then maybe every few weeks have a check at the cut, see if it's growing into a bump.

 

Usually if the cut is bad, then you'll see the steel wires protruding slowly.
