QUOTE(DSV4600 @ Jan 12 2023, 12:07 AM) Two questions: 1. 1.6 mm1) What's the minimal acceptable thread depth for any tire, especially when it comes to wet weather? 2) If my tire is 5+ years old, but less than 10% used, can I still drive with it? 2. As long as no sidewall damage or cracks on the sidewall, by all means use it. Tyre lifespan is 10 years. |

QUOTE(White2000 @ Jan 12 2023, 10:26 AM) Thanks for the advice. Just went and checked again, all four tyre thread is still comfortably above the TWI thread wear indicator, even without TWI its very obvious tyre tread still way above 1.6mm and rubber still in good condition. I could be wrong but maybe check the inner side of the tyre for wear. Cars with slightly negative camber will wear the inners faster than the outer to some extent, so it doesn't actually wear out evenly as what everyone would think.Which is why I asked here, idk how workshop got the 1 mm and NG thing. That said already planning on my next tyre, michellin XM2+ or continential CC6. White2000 liked this post

QUOTE(HalseyFrangipane @ Jan 12 2023, 11:31 PM) 1. 1.6 mm Thank you. Follow-up, wouldn't tread depth of 1.6 - 2.0 mm affect wet water breaking? Especially on highway driving, speeds above 90km/h.2. As long as no sidewall damage or cracks on the sidewall, by all means use it. Tyre lifespan is 10 years. |

Yes wet braking is a function of tread depth as the void on the pattern helps you evacuate water. The question is how bad your wet braking distance will be ? You could see a quick comparison between the wet performances of a 1.6mm tread depth vs full tread depth tires MICHELIN Primacy 4+ (new : 22,8m - worn : 31,5m) versus BRIDGESTONE TuranzaT005 (new : 22,6m - worn : 36,4m); CONTINENTAL PremiumContact 6 (new :23,1m - worn : 35,3m); GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 2 (new : 23,8m - worn : 35,5m) competitors. You loose about 10-14m or so. This is a huge difference especially when it comes to an emergency brake situation on wet. Hence my advice is , please change your tires ! if not please be aware of the risk you are taking. amscouzach57 liked this post

I am looking for tyre suggestion
Currently, I am on Pilot Sport 3 195/55/r15. Currently looking at getting another set of Pilot Sport 3 (PS3) or Primacy 4 ST (P4ST). I know one is a performance tyre and one is a touring tyre. 1. Can't find people comparing them. What should I expect if I go from PS3 to P4ST in terms of grip? 2. Which tyre would you suggest? I am pretty happy with my PS3. However P4ST is a newer tyre than PS3 Thank you |

About rm100 per piece cheaper for 19 inch size.Planning to change to this from my current FK510. |

QUOTE(epjx31 @ Jul 10 2022, 06:42 PM) Hey guys, Hi TS,As some of you have seen me posted before, I am a tire engineer working for one of the top 4 premium manufacturer. I write mostly about tires on my blog here https://toptirereview.com/. My ultimate goal is to enable consumers to make a more knowledgeable decision when it comes to buying tires and I hope I can do so by using my website as a medium of information. Anyways, since I am bored and its Sunday, I would take questions related to tires. Feel free to ask any questions in regards to tires and I will try to answer as good as I can. Thanks! Thank you for offering such a great service to the community! I have a question: Run Flat tyre - 18". My tyre picked up a screw at the sidewall and tyreshop said "it might explode when they try to pull it out (a new tyre may be needed" Is that true on the statement above and what causes it to explode and not for ordinary tyre (non-run flat). Would u know why? As i know, run flat tyre has thicker and tougher sidewall. He just pulled it out and didnt explode n yet he didnt bother to patch up the hole. Thanks! |
