My tire start to have crack on the treads but not side wall. Still safe to drive ?

The tire is about 3 years and 3 months old and they always say to change it every 3 years even if it looks fine.

IMO, the faster you drive, the more crucial your tire conditions become. so if you only drive around at 60, your tires should be still able to cope.

I review a lot of tires

Yes, most tires even good ones tend to crack at the other side, especially with conti cars.

Here are some of my reviews:

QUOTE(azbro @ Nov 27 2015, 04:16 PM)
Tires I've used, that I remember
Car is 308T

All UHP of course, I leave out the extreme type. No point comparing Extreme tires with UHP.
CSC5...the finess tires, BUT...It dun last and Malaysia road with full of pothole with make the sidewall Bengkak. No matter how good it is, no point in getting something that is not durable. Side thread are good and no chipping/cracking
Totally not my choice unless I have money to burn, and tis expensive.
CSC3 suffers worst fate and they tried to fix that with the cheaper Contimax making the sidewalls harder, and end up many of Contimax tires didn't give early warning when tire pressure was low.

PS3...good all rounder, side thread tends to chip/crack a bit, but overall my choice. I used a few sets of these.
Quite silent if compared to the Previous tire it replaced, the PP2.
Yes, PS3 replaced the PP2, not PS2. The legendary PS2 is replaced by PSS but still continue to be selling well.
But Ppl who use PS2 will know there are grades to it, but that's another story
One really good thing about PS3 it also comes in 15inch sizes. I've used 3 sets of these on my godcar.
Only thing about Michelin is the people there. Those customers to Michelin can be a bit "stuck-up" pplĀ  blush.gif
Just because they are using 'Michelin' makes them 'above average' pplĀ  laugh.gif
Anyway its good to see ppl who are proud and loyal to the Michelin brand.

Advan V105, similar to PS3 but way better in the dry and comfort, but these dun last, tends to chip/crack at the side threads too from extreme cornering.
What I like about these tires is the sidewalls, nice 3D designs after you polish it.
Not much significant advantage over the previous V103

Goodyear Asy2, Dem comfort, dry grips slightly below PS3, but the Wet is where it really fails. Funny, the GYGSD3 was the rain king, this GYF1Asy2 is shameful. Side threads also tends to chip/crack. And finish faster than PS3. I heard like the PS3 there are Lot to this. But frankly speaking with any Goodyear tire, is like regularly hearing what lot is good and thing like that. Simply cant get the quality right. Unless you buy the German one lol

Evo1, compare to PS3, its down a few notch, but its durable and no side thread chip/crack, its a very crude tire unlike CSC5.
After 50% life, the roar becomes unbearable. I'm sure the Evo2 should be better and more finess

N'Fera SU1, Budget UHP tires, Quite a popular tire now, great in the wets but fails in dry cornering.
Although it fails in dry cornering, it will still beats all family type tires. Only thing is its well below UHP level.
Comfort not bad. I'm using this now as my GYF1Asy2 is totally damaged.
Looks like the side threads are holding on but maybe due to I dun corner hard because not confident with this screaming tires lol
For those who don't know, Nexen has 2 line up of tires. N'Fera and N series.

RE050A, for me its very good overalls, comparable to PS3, quite expensive, but prone to tramlining, not for uneven roads and highways, you might even lose control of the steering if you are not holding it firmly. no side thread chip/cracks.

Ecsta SPT
, tends to lose grip when you are hard in corners, super critical on tires pressures, wet soso OK, no side thread chip/crack.

My choice is .....
...
...
...
This is just my opinion, I'm not working or getting sponsored by any of the tire manufacturers lol
