r/tires

all the way around the tire. just the one. all 4 tires gotten at the same time. 38k on all 4. AWD. regularly rotated.

Discount Tire says change it before the first snow As this is 5/32.

What say you?

Hey guys, curious what you think about this.
If a set of premium brand winter tires has never actually been used and has been stored properly, but the DOT is from 2015, would you still trust them to have decent grip?
Has anyone here actually used old but unused winter tires like this? I’m especially interested in real-world experience rather than just the usual age recommendations

I just got this repaired with a patch inside. I'm wondering if I should keep on using it or just buy a new tire. What do you guys think?

Hey anyone, I just saw this today. Ive been hearing this flapping noise for a bit and finally decided to see what it was and I saw this.

For some info this is my 07 Honda Civic SI. These are some 18x8.5 +35s with firehawk indy 500s 225/40/18 and its just the rears that have this much wear. These are much bigger than stock and its all oem suspension. Looking at the wear, it improves as it moves outwards. Is it maybe time for an alignment? Or is it possibly some suspension issue? I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask but anything helps. Oh and these are maybe 5 or 6 years old, have seen maybe 20-30k miles since its a daily for two people, so if its just time to swap them out that info helps.

I will toss the stocks back on for the time being.

guys am I screwed? have it parked in my driveway. deciding if I should run with it or get a new tire lol

Wife's car: 2018 Nissan Rogue SR. She drives roughly 200 miles a week. These tires are from summer 2021, and they have some dry rot. Should we get new ones yet. There seems to be a lot of traction still on the tire. Thoughts?

Hi! I need help with deciding on tires. I don’t have a dad to consult anymore, so could someone(s) help me make a decision?

I have a Civic Hatchback and am a semi-“spirited” driver.

Talk to me like you’re my dad!

I have attached my choices. (There are 3)
What I really want out of tire is a quieter ride (if that’s even possible), less bumpy ride and (if possible) longer tire tread life.

Thank you for helping me. 🫶🏼

If so what brand did they send you? Old date codes?

I’m not planning on buying it.

I started seeing some cracking late this summer on the tread as if it’s deteriorating and falling apart. This is the same on both of them where only one side of the car is actually getting much more sunshine than the other.

I don’t imagine this is normal?

Would these be okay to drive on? Or should i just get a new set? They were manufactured in 2021 and theres no dryrot on sidewall

As title says, a chunk is missing from the side, is it safe ?

I have a set of Perelli scorpions that I just took off for the winter on my RX 350 and the tire shop said there’s cracking between the outer treads along the circumference of the wheel and they said they will not put them back on in the future. The cracking doesn’t look that serious other than superficial to me, but I’m not a tire guy. Are these not safe to drive on? 2022 42nd week production. Car gets driven maybe 7500 miles a year.

I’ve always had the damndest time mounting tires on my stock Dodge Challenger wheels. Upgrading to a slightly wider tire for the rear. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting tires w/ stubborn sidewalls at drop center? Even w/ my machine’s arm assist I am struggling. Also, before anyone chimes in w/ “get wider rims”, this has been done before & the tires are not too wide. Thank you.
