Go for wheel alignment first. If not you will need to buy all 4 old tyres. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiz...wifey driving most of the time still can see the affected tyre's threads clearly except for the edges getting almost flat. just want to switch that out quickly. Considering the rest still look quite ok, 70+% remaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should change all 4 tyres immediately. Tyre is the only contact for a car on the road, never be stingy for a tyre.

Ehh...actually only 1 tyre on the left showing the wear, the rest is still has at least 70+% thread. That's why I am looking for just that one to replace.

Considering the rest still look quite ok, 70+% remaining. Consider changing 2 at least, put in the rear and move the 70+% pair to the front. Monitor the tyre pressure every other week. Consider getting those portable rechargeable tire pump that you can set tire pressure and pump all 4 tires monthly without having to drive your car to the petrol stations. That is what I do for the car my wife drives all the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F10_Blackhawk 4th Gear January 14, 2023 Share January 14, 2023 (edited) Hi, great to see so much discussions on this tire! I actually read thru all the 35 pages in 3hours! A question to all. My 530i comes stock with Assy5 20in stagger. Compared with my previous 520i which came with stock 18in Cinturato, i find that Assy5 actually feels MORE slippery in the wet than Cinturato. And when i drive down my house basement carpark bend, when i brake to turn, sometimes it actually slide like power slide…scary. This doesn’t happen in the Cinturato. Is there any issue with my tires since i keep reading Assy5 has excellent wet grip….so I’m quite perplexed. Also is there any recommendations for a good tire 20in (RFT would be bonus) that feels great in wet cornering driving? Actually just excellent in the wet? TIA!

E60F30 Neutral Newbie January 14, 2023 Share January 14, 2023 @F10_Blackhawk Based on the Tyres Review video above, PS5 seems to have the best aquaplaning/wet driving with some compromise to handling feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
