Recently changed my rims and got secondhand rims from a shop. They also installed secondhand tyres *GT Radials* at an extra cost of MYR200 (195/50/15) unsure what year. Wanted to know if I should change these tyres ASAP? The mechanic there said should change 6months in. How dangerous is it to keep driving the car with these tyres. Thanks. If need to change ASAP will need to ikat perut 🥲

Invested on new rim but secondhand tyre?

Look comes first but safety second?

Think you misread the first sentence.

How much tread depth is left?

From this you can probably estimate when you should change based on your risk tolerance vs wet performances.

Do remember that dry performances do get better when your tread depth gets lower but your are risking a lot on your wet performances (wet braking & aquaplaning)

Ah I see, thats good information, thank you. Tread depth is still deep. No worries on the tread depth, just wanted to know about the “cracks”.

still can use, but if it continue to peel more and causing your ride to be bumpy and having unpleasant sound then is time to change

Quite bumpy, harsh sound as in road noise? If so then yes, makes cabin noise so damn noisy. Want to change but will have to wait a few months for 💵
