To all sifu, my Nissan Sentra is now using all 4 pirelli tyres which is around 4 years in age. I can notice that there are like tiny crack in the surface of the tyre due to ageing i suppose. I went to check the tyre and the guy there told me it is still functional and ok but depend on whether i wanna change all 4 of them or not. What do you guys think? Furthermore, they have also found that 1 of my sport rims is faulty ( In cantonese it is called 'kop' ) meaning like the shape is no longer like a circle, but an oval instead. They ask me whether i want to change or not, but in the mean time, they put that rim at the back of the car. So should i change it all 4 rims?

Ori stock rims is much durable & bullet proof. Just repair lah.. If due to wanna drive as more pickup then change to lightweight rims for save fuel and power. Tyres usage up to 4 yrs is consider long period. If not change also can for Sentra is quite heavy weight and just drive as slowly when in raining season. But end up you still will change all 4 tyres
