QUOTE(epjx31 @ Dec 28 2022, 02:13 PM) First question: You should based on your tire tread depth to gauge whether you need to change tire & not based on mileage. Measure it via a ruler and it should be legally more than 1.6mm. Thank you so much! Will check the thread depth. However my tire now are now coming near to three years and theres a slight crack on the sidewall. Not much actually. Should i be concern of it?2nd question. If there is not price difference, fore sure you should got with PS5 with improved wet braking. Thanks.  |

QUOTE(epjx31 @ Dec 29 2022, 11:45 AM) tire usually can last up to 10 years so 3 years is really no issues. Here are pictures from all of the tires.Regarding the sidewall crack this is a safety issue. Could you take a picture so that I can have a look? --> this is usually serious and could lead to accident in worse cases. If you have significant tread depth, you could replace the one with sidewall crack first (depending on the seriousness) & keep the other 3 tires. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Dec 29 2022, 01:08 PM) hidayat14 That's not the sidewall. It's just the edge of the tyres. That peeling is normal for Michelin tyres. Sidewall is where those tyres details and branding were. QUOTE(epjx31 @ Dec 29 2022, 02:40 PM) Exactly right. Free free to use your Michelin's for a much longer time  QUOTE(dudester @ Dec 29 2022, 03:11 PM) I agree. Tyre still good for use. Thanks guys!!! |
