r/TireQuestions

Just curbed my tire slightly. Have an approximately 8 hour drive from Maine tomorrow back home. Is this safe to drive on?

Need damage on the inside from unrimming. Usable or junk?

I hit a curb at slow speed, managed to drive 100 kilometers or 60 miles back home at speeds of 100km/h or 60mi/h. Is it dangerous to continue using this tire. Do i have to get it replaced.

About 1 inch wide and 1/5 inch deep at the maximum point? Don’t have the money for repairs rn. Is this safe to keep driving on?

Im looking at getting some vredetein centauro ns tires to replaced my current set, has anyone had experience with them?

I am having an issue with my 2015 Honda Fit wobbling when I drive any speed over 15mph. Earlier today I drove down state and the tire pressure light came on. I checked all the tires and they appeared to be fine. At highway speed the car feels like the seats are vibrating. I went to a mechanic today that said that the tires are so old that the treads are worn in to the point that there are indents and bulges causing the car to shake when in motion. He is charging $675 for new tires, installation and I think balancing.

I’m considering purchasing and installing tires at Mavis for cheaper. Would y’all recommend?

Just did oil change and tire rotation and noticed this. Decided to keep this one (and the other back tire which is similar but not as bad) in the back due to its condition. Is it time for new tires? And looks like I’ll need an alignment too.
Front tires are in a lot better shape right now because I bought the car a year ago and forgot I had to rotate tires until my previous oil change. (I have FWD)
Can it make it a few more weeks with this in the back, or does this need immediate attention?

Im repainting rims a glossy black, and i really dont feel like sanding all the rims down by hand (not going to buy a sander ill use one time) but i have a wire brush set and tried it out on the rims and this is what it looks like. Chatgpt is saying not to wire brush them but in theory i could just lightly brush them and sand it down abit for the primer? Should i lightly wire brush+sand or just sand down???

Must of hit a patch on the road. Had really bad vibrations from the front of the car. Took off the tire and saw this on the backside. What's the easiest way to get this off? Put it back on and keep driving until it wears off? It's like scraping gum out. I was going carefully with a flat head screwdriver.

I just bought a pair of front tires for my 2017 Corolla. I didn't see the tires before they put them on and this was hard to see before I got home since they wet the tires afterward. Once I got home, I noticed that both tires had dry cracking. Are they safe enough to drive on and take on the highway?

Is this urgent to replace? It’s front left performance tire

Hello reddit thank you in advance for the coming advice and/or roasts I’m sure I’m about to read in a few.

2012 audi q5 3.2L middle trim package
Photos go: front left tire (x2), front right tire, back right tire, back left tire and then penny in the front left and then penny in the back left

So…If you have not already noticed yet I am a poor excuse for an adult and still trying to learn how to take care of my own shit. That being said- I noticed that the wear on my front left tire is pretty fucked for lack of better words. From some of the other reddit / internet perusing I’ve done it kinda seems like I should be flipping out about and/or at least a little scared to drive on this front left tire with those little grey lines being visible (are these the “wires / steel wires” inside the tire that google has told me about? Confused because I touched one and it was soft like fabric not like a piece of steel, even in thin wire form.)

So questions - should I be flipping out about how worn my tires are and getting a new set of 4 asap even though its just the one that’s FUCKED fucked?

2 This uneven wear, primarily wearing on my front driver’s side tire, means that I have a messed up / improper alignment that needs to be fixed (preferably when the new tires are mounted), right? Or alternatively maybe a bad / worn out suspension? My research has shown so far that both of these might be an option…hoping not the suspension thing because that sounds way worse / more expensive to fix but again obviously i don’t know shit about shit (so thank you again for any help)

3 again kinda regarding the uneven wear / alignment thing- would rotating my tires around at 5k miles have helped make these bad boys last longer? Seems like that front left one is waaay worse off than the rest- not that any of those look too brand new at this point either

Thank you so much for any help you can give me! Maybe if yall give me enough good vehicle advice there will be one less (total) idiot on the road!!

Hey everyone, I want to share something that happened today.
My wife was on her way to work when she got a flat tire. She was already stressed because she had an important meeting at 11:00 a.m., so she searched Google for a tire repair shop and found their number.
She called them while she was driving, and her phone was connected to her car’s hands-free system because, obviously, you can’t safely drive while holding your phone. She was also alone.
What happened next completely shocked me. The man who answered the phone started yelling at my wife because her call was on speaker through her car. She calmly explained that she was driving, but instead of understanding, he continued yelling and swearing at her. He was so rude and aggressive that she ended up crying. She called me in tears.
I was shocked, so I called him myself to ask what had happened. He treated me the exact same way, yelled at me, hung up, and then refused to answer any of my calls.
Please, if you respect women and expect basic kindness and professionalism, think twice before doing business with this person.
