Suggest that u go back to the shop for an inspection.

Tyres normally have a 3-yr warranty. If its bald within 4-mths of 7,000 km, something is either seriously wrong with your car or tyre.

When u mean bald, pls clarify. Bald on left side, right side or centre.

they both bold across left right and center, although outer edge slightly more bold.

If its across the whole type, it is most likely a manufacturing defect.

Hope u kept your receipt. Claim for Warranty for new tyres

i am thinking of michelin. but if they really replace the tyres for me for free, i guess they will only give me good year. maybe i can top up a little money and change to michelin...

Bro, what's your tyre size. You said u drive Waja Right using 15'.

If its old Waja - the Cam TAK Pro - its 195 /55 / 15

Its its Waja CPS - its 195/60/15

If u are using 195/55/15 if u have cash to spare, why not take Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3). This is considered as Performance Tyre. Else, u can consider Yokohama C Drive 2 (CD2). Good mix of Performance and Comfort.

If u still want Goodyear take the Goodyear Directional 5 (GD5), peformance tyre.

Other Brands taht u can consider - Hankook, V12, performabnce tyre that does not cost a bomb.


If u use 195/60/15 less choices of Performance based tyre. PS3 is not available in this size but u can still find CD2.

i think they are 195 /55 / 15.
sorry i know very little about tyres. What is the difference between performance tyre and normal ones?
*
Performance tyres = good for cornering, driving fast, etc but not so comfortable and don't last too long

Normal Tyres / Comfort Tyres = Comfortable but not good for cornering, driving fast, etc

here is one of the tyres

Bro, your tyres really look like you do 'drifting' on Sepang Circuit. It looks totally worn out, like how my tyres looked like after I did like almost > 60K km. Its totally worn out like u said.

You're sure the manufacture date is 08/13?

If your shop refuse to honour warranty, consider going direct to Goodyear but do make sure that your alignment, suspension is also ok cos that's how these company try to find fault.

Bro, I also used NCT5 before, there were good to me for 60K km / 3-years. After that, it looked exactly like yours.

will do that. thx guys for all the opinion.

by the way, GY just called me, they asked me to go to shah alam to let them check the tyres. but i no free laa. and tomolo i am going to tyre shop shop and change them already.

Bro, if GY already call u, give them a chance lah. Make some time.

Even if u change the tyres already, keep the old tyres and show it to GY. Maybe they can still give u some vouchers that u can resell.
