It is recommend to rotate tires every 10000km, while at it, do we have to balance them as well?

How about for alignment at what interval should we do it? Thanks!

Which tries are more critical to be replaced? The front 2 or the rear 2.
Assuming you have budget only for 2 tires at a time? Which is more critical?

new rear, old rear switch to front

Hi, I recently noticed that there’s green line showing on my Tyre.
Does it mean that I have to change it already?
Stock tyre 5yr+ mileage 52k.

unless the sidewall has damage, it pretty much look still safe to drive

I thought about that but stupid me go and throw away the receipt already... don't think the tayar shop still willing to honor the warranty without the receipt proving that I changed my tayar in their shop...?

nowadays conti has their own app to check warranty. hopefully the shop registered your tyres during purchase. https://www.continental-tires.com/my/en/b2c...onfidence-plan/

Can Google Michelin tyre chipping, many kene the similar issue. Technically as others mention, due to the model use softer compound for better grip, hence after some mileage, hit with this. But ask many honest tyre shop, they all said no issue for the tyre potential to leak etc cz its only the outer surface chipping.

had that on PS3 and PS4. just push it to more mileage b4 change it

any idea the XM2+ has this issue too?
