What you said are exactly all inside my mind... start learning about tire first.... My car still stock saga, no change anything also...

Hmmm...

Usually, we change tire after how many KMs? 10k?
*
shocking.gif 10k ? no la. . so fast meh, pokai lor everybodi. . we drive normal car only, not F1 laugh.gif

then play with ur car first lor.
learn more about ur car sin, the characteristic, behaviour, and etc.
once u get hold of it, then only change tyre, oso not late la.

the cibaistone should be able to last 80-100k depending on how you use. .
my M5 now ard 37k, i think around 50% thread left.
other non mileage tyres maybe 60-80k gua.
tyres don see mileage mia.
see thread and date of manufacture.

in fact, IMO, it's better to use lousy tyre now so that you know how the car behaves when its going out of control.
because u know the tyres are lousy so u tend to be more caution with every step.
with lousy tyres, u some how get a feeling where is the limit of ur car.
with such training, when u change better tyres d you can gauge how hard you want to push it. .

otherwise, if u straight start with good tyres, u do not know how to appreciate them and do not know how hard to push.

just like us being human, must go through bitter then only know how to appreciate the sweetness after the bitter part whistling.gif

Michelin, not much choices for small size tyres like 13" and 14".
Previously 165/55/14 Michelin PP2 also no longer in production.

After that can't find any size like this from Michelin.

14" tyres have more choices. You can go for 185/60/14. As long tyre size change doesn't exceed 3%.
Still can fit 185/70/13. Such tyre height are comfortable but you will have lots of Tyre Flex when cornering hard.
Brother, are you that rich to change Tyres every 10K Mileage? You think change tyre as cheap as change engine oil meh.  tongue.gif 

Can last you up to 2 years if you are just a slow driver  brows.gif

tyre change guide as below:

1) bengkak << usually due to potholes
2) pancit
3) thread habis (see thread indicator at the longkang)
4) already 4yrs+ from date of manufacture << rubber will harden over time
5) thread wear pattern not uniform until too serious due to alignment/camber/toe lari (can change to back if don wan change)

If scared dunno how to see have to look at indicator. So far I know Michelin tyres have indicator and Falken ZE912 have this Fish eye as indicator. Will become Square and is time to change tyre by then.

once a while, u check the tyre thread la. i also like u around 1k mileage per month. after 2 years i change the ducaro front once. r3apers manage 2.5 years cvhange front. mine lasts 2 years because left side makan tepi. have to change earlier.
for 2.5 years rear still stock ducaro. but it's time to change, due nearlee touched thread indicator.
front always change faster because front is heavier because of engine weight.

p/s : now monitoring front use dunlop sp sport j3. thinking of change rear to goodyear duraplus.
