Kumweng 1st Gear May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 HI I am driving my new car for 5 years and the tyre since day 1 have not change yet. Since my car is an OPC and mileage is only 38K till now. The tyre trend is still going at 80% new. IS there any danger if I carry on using the present tyre for the next following years? Do I need to change all 4 piece? Will the tyre rubber get harden? Will it affect my braking distance? Please advise... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO 4th Gear May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 Personally I will not keep my tyres > 3 years. The money I save does not justify the potential risk.

Please advise... check your tyre for date of manufacture it's a 4 digit number, such as 1213 12: 12th week 13: year 2013 given your tyres are at least 5yrs old... it's probably safer to change. rubber will harden (potential crack) and also lose grip during normal driving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrequeen 1st Gear May 26, 2014 Share May 26, 2014 Hi there, I would recommend you to change into a new set of tyres. Tyres doesn't last more than 5 yrs on shelves n usually max 2-3 years on the road. The rubber quality would have deteriorated since they were manufactured in 2009. You may have safety issues. I would encourage you to have a look around and change your tyres. Cheers! BL_TQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged May 29, 2014 Share May 29, 2014 Makes economic sense to replace your tyres now and drive till scrap, rather than replace them near to scrap date and benefit the scrap yard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janling3 6th Gear May 29, 2014 Share May 29, 2014 (edited) Safety in of prime importance. Just replace them altogether, your safety during your ride solely depends on the 4-palm-sized of your hardened tyres. They are almost 5 years old already... :) I just changed mine two months ago, the manufacturing week and year was 3910 (week 39 year 2010), though the threads looked new and deep....
