Checking up your tires

[Furrynadz]

 

what is the original manufacturer offset for the rim.

9" i believe its too wide for a 225/40/18.

 

stand corrected...

 

225 is 8 inch rim

 

on 8.5 is stretch on 9 is epic

Currently looking at 18" 9jj offset 32 rims,

 

Can it fit 225/40/18 tyres?

Any safety concern?

Cornering ok?

 

TIA

 

 

corner hard ur tyre sidewall might come out the rim

its a like a pot belly uncle wearing a small shirt exposing his beer belly to the little chicks

225/40/18 accept 7.5 to 8.5 8.0 to be is optimum

can share you car you drive?

see some boy racer running on over wide rim I really scare and not sure is the shop or WS who sold and install the oversize (width) aware that it carry a risk as mention from above especially fast cornering.

anything not Original is against the Rule and regulations in Singapore

But LTA has given some room for after market replacement But is has to be International certified.

your tyre size is fine for this case ,but the rim ( 7.5 to 8.5) optimum is 8inch.

Offset is more flush with those ard 30?. is correct.

under the Guide line your tyre shouldn't protrude out your fender, otherwise you will be FINE or Fail inspection

I completely agree with you, tires are the only element between road and your vehicle, so compromising on this factor is not a good idea. One should make a regular check on their tires; it is must for the safety purpose. Apart from that you can easily save some extra amount if you regularly check your tires. [:)]

Ithing after 6000 km after check you tires condication.

1) vehicle alignment

2) vehicle balancing

Hi.

 

It was when my car was parked with front wheels steered to max that I discovered the inner edge of both tyres have severely worn.

 

Is this the result of front wheels not properly toed-in or -out (alignment)?

 

Or due to damaged part(s) of suspension/wheel assembly etc?

 

Appreciate your advice/opinion/input.

Looks like it's toe out. Anyway your tyres need replacement. The groove depth is almost flush with the depth indicator. Probably, after you replaced with new tyres, go for alignment also. If they are different shops, show this pic to the alignment shop.

below are the possible caused

Wheel alignment out

Loose joint

damaged front suspension system

aggressive  wheel off set

any expert can share ?

[Yymail22]

Thank you to all who have advised.

 

I personally think it is mis-alignment because the wear is uniform and occur at both front tires. If it is suspension system, the wear would have been uneven all around the surface.

 

As for joint worn out, I have no clue how it will affect the (type of) wear.

 

Any recommendation on specialists doing wheel alignment?

 

Thank you again for your input.

just to further share my views

Suspension system failure can not just caused uneven wear all round but also wearing on 1 side particularly inner part of your tire due to worn suspension mounting etc 

Worn joint like can also caused such problem because of loose joint became toe out which can not corrected by Alignment job.

An workshop expert will able to tell you more  when your car is with him

Thanks. I will find a day to visit a workshop.

 

I am also wondering: if the suspension on one side is at fault, will it cause both front wheels to have similar and same degree of wear (on the inner edge)?

Suspension fail on one side means either the arms broke or shock absorbers leaked with no pressure. tyres wears depends on which components broke down
