Yes can still be used, but due for replacement soon. Drive slow in the wet. Use the treadwear indicator on the tyre as reference.

Sure will, thank you.

Hi there,

Could you be so kind to measure the tread depth ? both center & shoulder.

Based on the pictures, I do not see any structural damages which means the tire is still well intact.

For me the bigger concern is how much tread depth is left. As previously stated, there is a huge difference in wet performances comparing low vs new tire. This is a risk you should understand.

What was the main concern from your side?

SC said tyre tread depth is 3mm. Not sure if it's center or shoulder. I'll have to measure it. If can use, I'll change when it's 2mm or below.

My concern.. I was worried because the way it looks on this area:

Other areas are fine though. As you seen the earlier pictures, they look fine.

Not really looking into performance, of course change is better but if it's not necessary to change, prefer not change it.

Feel free to still use it. There's plenty of thread depth remaining (1.6mm is the minimum legal requirement). Changing at 2mm is also a good practice during the rainy season.

With regards to the shoulder looking like it is, this is not a cause of concern. Just the rubber aging.

Noted, thank you for the guides.

Agree with what @mdziaf said. Just be cautious during then rain. You should change once you feel that the risk is not worth anymore 😂😂😂

Alright. smile.gif
