Do I need to change tire ?

[Beregond]

 

Putting on the new pair tyres at the front instead of the back is NOT RECOMMENDED. The new ones should go to the back.

 

Your rear loses grip, you get oversteer and this is much more dangerous and harder to correct than any understeer caused by lack of grip from the front two.

not many ppl understand this theory, for most car in the safety aspect view, rear tyre more important then front, yet alot of tyre shop still recommond driver to put botak tyres in rear, and tell them next time then change,

 

if jun jun raining day he jam back, and the tail side spin, then whos fault

best is to change all 4.

if cannot afford the better tires, get the lower ends one.

good threads vs no thread, cheap tires with good threads will definately be better than a good brand tires that are worned out~~!

For me who does 1040km per mth on average, I pump once a mth. Front 240 Back 230. Now that its monsoon, i'm trying 235 / 225 kpa.

 

Btw, if go back to same shop when bought tire, how much $ to pump nitrogen ?

average should be 5 sgd / tyre. totally refill with nitrogen,

 

not refill . if yours already fill with nitro, refill should be free

Btw, for tire pressure, it's not every 10k then check once.. I check and pump my tires every alternate fuel run (or once every 2 fuel run). Tire pressure will surely go down and you won't be able to see it even if you are using hydrogen gas.

I think you fill your tires with nitrogen and not hydrogen?

 

Isn't hydrogen the one that is dangerous and can explode if burst?

 

[Baal]

So 1 time give $20, then can keep going back to the same shop to pump foc ? Or subsequent is $2/tyre ?

 

Oh since rear is more important, I have a collegue, he uses 195/55 -15 for front & 205/45 or 50 -16 for the rear.

 

He rationalise that front don't be too big, lose pick up, increase FC. Back put wider tyres to look bigger & sportier.

 

I told him u win liao. Oh hes driving a CS3. Lancer

I used Helium for my tyres, very light! Good!

Haha. If you pump too much your car can float in the air.

 

Say good bye to traffic jams.

Happened overnight? It might have been a slow leak over a long time before you finally noticed it. I make it a habit to check all 4 tyres every now and then before driving off.

Yes bro I do the same every time before driving off.

 

Might have gotten poked on the way from home to office.

 

Any one can recommend tire rescue workshop that still operates in the evening?

 

Plan to head for nearby kiosk to pump up then head for workshop see if can salvage

If you want to do staggered fitment on front wheel drive car, the front tyre need to be wider than rear.
