Uneven tyres

[Kazuo]

 

Sadly not everyone thinks like this.

 

Some people spend alot on fog lamp and HID and save on brakes and tires.

 

Maybe when they skid and crash at least they can see better what they are hitting.

 

 

I totally agree with you on not to save on brakes and tyres, but I think you have completely missed 2 points here:

 

1. Find the cause so as to rectify it.

If it is camber issue, you can change a million tyres and you still face the same problem

 

2. Know what's the effect.

Say for a set of used tyres which were punctured by nail and patched. The tyres are still safe for use.

I agree. When I said tires and brakes, I meant balancing and alignment as well.

 

Youi can also add steering and suspension as well.Anything to do with driving dynamics.

 

As for a patched tire being as good as a new tire. I heard this before but I cannot comment

 

as I have never studied this before. Maybe other forumers can share their excperience on this.

Took a photograph from the web to illustrate

 

The parts labeled A, B, C and D are uneven in the sense that, for example, A is slight higher than B and C is higher than B.

Which means that if I look from the side, the shape of the tyre will look jagged, although it is probably 1mm difference in height.

Need to feel than can feel the diff.

 

 

Uneven wear n wavy tire usually caused by worn shock absorbers. If ty r old, hv them checked n changed if necessary.

 

Also poor alignment can cause it.

I ever saw a Getz with multi tyre sizes.

 

This car had 14 inch tyres throughout.....but mixture of 165/65, 175/65 & 165/70.

 

This is budget car owner.

 

He buy 2nd hand tires for abt $20 each n when a tire is worn, he just go shop n see what ty hv n put it on. Hahaha.

 

As long as he drive super slow, I guess not too dangerous. Hahaha.

He might be a gambler as well. Just tikam and after a while he may just be lucky and have the other 3 tyres of the same model = Jackpot!

I think his chances of getting all 6 TOTO numbers correct is better. Hahaha.

Life is like gambling

Is boils down to how much you bet and what you are betting.

I do buy 4D and Toto but no IR x 2

never like to gamble on Brake / tyres which does not help me save much money.

I will rather save on paying like entertainment , dress up the car to show others or make yourself special

[Karbonphyber]

It's an interesting topic! I learnt something :)

Yes, brakes and tyres are the last thing to save on any motorised transport. safety first!

[Brobear]

The uneven wear of tyres usually caused by faulty absorbers. But there could also be the possiblity of poor QC tyres. Check the absorbers first, if those are fine, go back to your tyre shop and try to get warranty on those uneven tyres, if the tyres are still within their warranty period.

I can never understand how some people can drive until botak liao still don't want to change their tyres..

By any chance does anyone know if 165/65-14 is a rare size in Sg?

 

If there is which brands here carry this size ?

This sounds like a Getz or Vios tyre.

 

Malaysia has a lot including Mich MX series.

 

Cars that use this size usually can also use 175/65/14.

 

This one might be easier to find.

Yep its for me Getz. looking at downsizing for bette pick & fc.

 

But looking around like very rare.

 

Thought of using Pican 165/60-14 but its 75T. Manual says min 79T.

 

79T will be 165/65 or 175/60. 175/60 seems more common in sg.
