QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Jun 9 2018, 12:07 PM) Just spray ur tyres with a tyre shine to give it a new look. Looks wise considered minor only la. Care more about safety and comfort. Im asking because this would make rm2k poorer |

QUOTE(zeng @ Jun 9 2018, 12:56 PM) On this picture on tyre threads, yes there is signs of 'cracks' specifically on the threads portion. None is found on sidewall. Thanks. That's good to know. Not kelam kabut or anything la just to make sure before i fork out 2k of my money. Another factor is 0 gst also. Now seems a good time to change if i realt need itThese cracks on thread are normal and not affecting the structural integrity of tyres and hence it's safe for continuing use. This sidewall has no cracks. Only severe and deep cracks at side wall that penetrates into the nylon fibre or fabric of tyres would have negative effects on structural integrity of tyres ....... which is NOT the case. OP, don't be alarmed and kelam kabut my friend. I'd used XM2 tyres upto 115,000 ish km over 6 plus years, no problem. Yes, OEM says tyres are good upto 10 years. Pl search my previous upload on same here. Edit:No safety issues here. Comfort, no comment as rubber compound are hardened in use. |
