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 🥲

All tyres manufacturers across the world say tread depth below 1.6 mm is recommended to be replaced with new.

Can't really see any cracks/scratches in your photo. Anyway scratches in used tyres say over 1 year old is common and is not a criteria to replace new.

I typically used Michelin MX2 up to 120k km over some 7 years with plenty of scratches on front tyres. Replacement is solely based on tread depth of min 1.6 mm, according to all tyre manufacturers and not based on what mechanics/tyre shops say.
