QUOTE(epjx31 @ Jan 20 2023, 09:41 AM) Hi there, 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.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? 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. |

QUOTE(mdziaf @ Jan 20 2023, 08:43 PM) 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. Noted, thank you for the guides.With regards to the shoulder looking like it is, this is not a cause of concern. Just the rubber aging. QUOTE(epjx31 @ Jan 25 2023, 02:55 PM) 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. This post has been edited by Natsukashii: Jan 25 2023, 02:59 PM |
