if ur fren do not value his life...or his family,then continue using the tire...when it explodes suddenly or can't stop the car during emergency brake,then it is too late to regret edy...i believe that the rubber is quite hard edy...i won't ride any car if the tire is too old...dun want to risk my life....

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ May 30 2012, 05:27 PM) You are right. And I bet that mechanic is either a liar or one who never finished his Primary 6 education to say what he did. yeah...same here...after tht,i decided not to buy any tire from tht shop again...Tell you friend. Driving at 90kph with that old tires is like playing Russian Roulette. He may get away with it or may be he will not. Driving 50 kph around neighborhood may not cause death but broken bones. If he doesn't mind broken born, go ahead. Added on May 30, 2012, 5:30 pm I have seen this with my own eyes so not urban legend. Some tire shop will use sharp knife to deepen the thread to make the tire look newer. You have been warned.  |
