Drove to nearest auto shop but they said they don't have the same as the dealer's and recommend to change the front 2 tyres. Any mechanic recommendations I can get to replace either 1 tyre or both? already asking my SE, hoping to see if there are other advice. IMHO. If change only one, the braking characteristics will change. Just imagine during braking, the newer tyre will have more "traction". Not sure if the vehicle will pull to one side or not. Also new tyres usually install on the rear. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, would that have as much of an effect if the car is brand new? I believe @kChaste just got his car last week. If the car is less than a week old, would the tyres have worn that much? Unless sitting out in the sun for 1+ year affects the tyre's braking characteristics (that I'm not sure) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kChaste 2nd Gear January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 By the way, if really change 2 tyres... I can't really close my boot inner cover propce is meant for erly if I keep the good tyre. Is there anything good or bad about this? Cuz the space is meant for a small spare tyre. And elegance wheel is 18". I would think the loose items in my boot might fall into the gap.

Not sure if can see from the picture. SE says can touch up with paint if not too concerning. Anyway, rim will get more scratches with time as time goes by. By the way, just to share, not easy to change tyre on your own without power tools. These nuts are bolted tight. Loosening by hand is no joke. is yours a second hand car? that information will help the forumers advice you properly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
