How long can a tyre last b4 we need to change? Asking in years term. Coz my in law car tyre raptured/exploded. Car mileage is only about 30k. So the threads are still good. But the car is already 8 years old. And I just checked the other tyres n 1 of them already got benjol.

So my question is how long can a tyre last even though the threads are still good?

2-3 years

Usually the rubber itself has shelf life of 6 years bro.. 8 years is pushing it... making the rubber hardened.

5 years if low mileage car

advisable to change it after 3-4 years of usage.

some cars only 10k mileage by then

wow 10k after 4 years? very low usage. i would still change it cos the compound would already be hardened, affecting the overall effectiveness of the tires. i knew of a guy who used his tires for more than 6-7 years, and the threads were like 99.9% bald. and he told me the only issue he had was the road noise.
anyway, it's not a lot of money to change 4 tires, and I'd rather stay safe.

3-6years depends on usage n driving style.

2-3 years, max 5 years with good brands.
indonesia brands mostly 1year half already keras one..

me average 2 years mesi tukar...2 tayar. 6 tyre in 6 years

Max 2 years for me.

The type of rubber used is important. But since no one knows what is being used in making these tires besides rubber, best to gauge that with the price of tires itself.

I have a car 10 years d, less than 40k still total mileage

Change 2 tyres every year

5yrs

check the datecode on the tire.

More then 4 years is dangerous to use the tyre
Tyre mileage can vary from 20k to 80k depending on tyre model

Shelf life = In about five years

How long can it actually last? Depends on your driving style and road conditions.

10 years; threads still good.. but low mileage lar, ~ 70K

Hmm time to change my car tyre soon, thanks for reminding

Rubber got crack?

Impossible 10 years rubber not yet keras

I doubt so too, thread may look OK, but the compound must be hard, which translates into little grip when braking.

None that I saw; yeah, the rubber probably hardened, no apparent cracks, but changed them anyway recently ... to a different set of Contis..

by right, the tire got shelf life. after certain years still unsold, will scrap it d
but this is malaysia. malaysia boleh

See year manufactured and which week. Mine very fresh. Original tyres from factory (new car) lasted me 3 years. Left around 5-10% thread. 65k kilometres.

Max is 3 years even for low mileage car.

Many people dunno about shelf life and the four digits on the tyre. That's why kena scammed. 3 years old tyre still sold for normal price.

Max 5 years. Michelin give warranty up to 5 years. Anything more than 5 years need to change

You can't decide when tyre need to change based on years or mileage. It's combination of many things. Best is check on tyre condition and actual driving feel.

The tyre used for 8 years but only 30k km, sure very seldom used. Most likely the rubber have harden and brittle.

+1

A lot people confuse shelf life and usage life. It's 2 separate things.

botak, kena tukar

benjol lagilah kena tukar sebab tayar sudah rosak walaupun setahun...

ikut tempoh masa, 5-6 tahun kalau bergerak tapi tak jauh...

2-3 tahun kalau sangat jarang bergerak...

tayar benjol, time to change la tu...


langgar lagi pothole like a bawse

vulcanised rubber (tyres) can degrade by UV & heat even when not in use

keep that in mind

5 years is a safe figure, tyres is not that expensive la

My daily usage car, every year will change at least 2.

Weekend car since 2011 not yet change tyre, mileage only 16k and the tyre got few cracks already.

Depends on driving style, me 1 year tukar 4 tyre. My tyre now 5 month old already botak tepi coz i like to understeer

3 years...if more than 4 years, the rubber will hardened and you'll start to see cracks
to be safe...3 years

Wow 5 years?
That's great
Will change to Michelin once my Godcar's Continental Tire habis

Lol, hopefully you won't be fooled by their warranty. The odds of you claiming anything from them is almost non-existent.

2 years. 3 years if i feel adventurous.

depends on the style of your driving & road conditions too.

mine every 3-4 years.

drive for 5 years, mileage closing to 140k km... so yeah

I never had the chance to use a tyre more than 2 years coz by that time my tyre threads already a bit worn out. So usually my indication of need to change tyres is by the threads.

But my in laws seldom drive far which is y their mileage is low n the tyres looks ok. So I never advised them to change. Didnt know b4 this tires actually have a certain lifespan. I thought as long thread is ok still can use .

fuuuuuuuu....rich guy spotted

Sounds about right

3 years for me max,even if the threads still good its for safety

Mine 13k on 8month

How long need to change tyre?

Buy dunlop sports sp j5 or d05
Its made in malaysia by malaysian for malaysian weather

4-5 years for me. Ngam ngam thread habis

manufacture gives 3 years warranty.

normally 5 years unless everyday exposed to direct sun & rain. and apply typre protection on the side walls can help slower the rubber deterioration.

rubber will harden and crack when old.

if you park the car for long time not moving, the pressure point will focus on 1 area and that area will become weaker and start to crack especially if under-inflated (common when car parked too long).

side walls usually crack because it's the weakest area and weight sits on them, thick tyres tend to have weaker side walls.

Malaysia rubber tyres not good. Continental Malaysia tyre, sidewall cracked after 5th year mileage still low.

If u have full size spare, rotate the tyres every 8-10k km.

U can prolong the tyres age. After 3-4 years change the tyres one by one every rotation

i change every 50,000km

Every 2 years tukar le. Safety first.

Dunlop now is under continental

See the tires depth indicator. Your tires should have few big longkang. One each of the big longkang, there's a few tiny bulge. When the bulge is same level with the surface, almost time to change. If low mileage, then can either drive until it burst or every 5 years from manufacturing date to be safe.

if u drive axia or any perodua cars then maybe u need to change everyday? if u dont and crash because the car malfunction all your own fault lo
