Slim Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 hi all... i was just wondering, what do you do with the tyres that you change...just leave it with the shop? my rear tyres are not totally worn out (abt 30% left..so my mech said) and the front was recently changed by the previous owner (less than a year ago), so deciding to whether to change just the rear or the whole set?

Starlet Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 I suggest buy 2 new tyres for the front wheel. Swap the "good" front wheel to the rear. Check the condition of your spare wheel too. If the spare wheel is bad or worse then the tyre which was taken out. replace spare wheel with one of the taken out tyres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 tks starlet... yupp tats what i was considering too...so i suppose the rear wheels will be "thrown" away by the shop huh...cannot sell to garang-guni har...kekeke (times bad lah... ) spare tire seems unused....and also smaller rims so can't change with existing ones..OH yah was thinking...since the spare just sits in the boot, would the rubber harden? tks dude Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneStock 5th Gear February 22, 2004 Share February 22, 2004 usually it is advisable to change whole set. but if the threads for the front 2 are still deep then maybe switch them to the rear and purchase 2 new ones as mentioned by other forumer will do. I usually replace tyres not just based on thread depth but also when they start to turn noisy or due to aging when the rubber can become harder and more dangerous to drive. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
