Hi Sifu, need advice. My tyre sidewall flatten abit as I didn't notice I'm driving on a punctured tyre.

Is it still safe to drive on this tyre ?

boss can u explain to me king pin inclination

kuli here answer...

when you turn steering left/right... your wheels rotate along the "king pin" axis... the angle of this axis to vertical, looking from the front... is king pin angle / inclination

cannot tell from outside... must look inside see if the rim cut the rubber and sidewall or not

i put smaller rim, will improve/worsen king pin rite.
how about negative offset

As per other member feedback, need open up and see the internal if inside also already rubbed and crack on the side wall then cannot use already. Usually if serious when open up the tires inside will got a lot of rubber debris can throw de.

Is Michelin Primacy SUV still the best tire for SUV? My tire is about 3 years old with 60k mileage but the "bunga" still nice and still looks okay..not sure need to tukar or not.

Kinda the best bang for comfort. If want performance aspect, take PS4 SUV. For SUV, my experience with Continental UC6, just poor, 8k km already botak at sides even done alignment rotation. Dry ok quiet but rain, heavy rain, this UC6 cant keep up for traction

Comfort is my priority...I heard a lot of bad experience with UC6 as well

smaller rim/tyre will change the scrub radius... if you maintain same negative camber offset, the scrub radius will increase... king pin angle dun change/not affected

no need to change if got bunga and rubber not cracking...

Bunga ada.. But cracking I don't know how to see hmm..

The recommended tyre pressure for my car is 220. Everytime I pump 220, then I check again immediately, its down to 210. So I pump 230 so that when I check again, it will be 220. What is your comment on this? TQ

Why goodyear tutup kilang in Malaysia? Is the competition from China and Thailand tyre too aggresive?

아아아아 scrub radius.
does it improve or worsen uturn distance

"Goodyear has faced accusations of labour abuses, including unpaid wages, excessive overtime and threats against dozens of migrant workers at the Malaysian manufacturing plant in recent years.

The company and the workers reached a settlement agreement in 2022, with each employee paid 50,000 ringgit to 200,000 ringgit ($10,660 to $42,644) depending on the length of their employment,"

charge rim/wheel size... biggest effects are spedo, fc n comfort... the rest you can ignore safely

your tyre is hot...you pump cold air in... it cools down a bit so it now reads lower

pump in the morning before heavy driving then should be stable... otherwise pump a bit more, then check pressure the next morning so you know how much to adjust next time

sidewall dry rot and weather cracking

that y want to ask tayar lou. hopefully we learns from him
