Should i get my tires replaced? Got a lot of tread, yet I have

they look ok to me

>>15997669
How much time you own them?

>>15997712
Only 10k miles. I bought the car with new tires in fall 2014.

>>15997669
Read the date code on the tire.

I would think about replacing them....or you could keep going and potentially throw a tread and tear a fender off...

Where were going we don't need fenders or tires

10k miles driven in 2 years?

Does /o/ even /o/?

I've put 25kmi on my shitbox in 1yr.

>>15997780
and that's why it's a shitbox

Until the cracks are about half a millimetre or 1/32" your okay. If it starts to crack in the tread then tou might wanna consider replacing. Yes in reality tires should be replaced every 7 years but I've seen Continental Contiprocontact brand tires and Uniroyal tires that are from 2007 and don't have any cracks. That beginning said I replaced 2 Michelin Defenders last night because one blew out even though they both had like 6/32" of tread left but they were from 2008

>Tire installer for 5 years now

Show me a pic of the tread I know it's a Michelin tire without even looking at the filename but I can't recall what model based on the pic. It's a truck or SUV tire I think. Michelin LTX?

Op: no soz, it was a ref. Heres my tires

>>15997669

I drove on weathered tires like that for years no problem. Finally on a road trip the tread ripped right the fuck off but that was in large part because of shitty texas roads. Just keep a spare. Get some new ones when you can but I wouldn't worry that much about it.

Front

>>15997849
That kind of cracking on the shoulder where the sidewall meets the tread is pretty bad (not terrible) but that big one running the circumference could lead to a blow out. Get one more of the actual treadate just turn your wheels out a bit

>>15997880
What the fuck is Fuzion?

>>15997985
>mommy and daddy pay for everything the post
It's an off brand tire, it's how you save money

they're fine. and if they explode just enjoy the experience, it's always a good story.

>>15997880
>Fuzion
>buying cheap tires
you asked for it. could have spent money on a quality tire and not had this happen

>>15997802
Doesn't matter how much tread it has if it's 5 years and older

>>15997995

This. Fuzion is Bridgestone's offbrand. They aren't really that much cheaper then Bridgestone's Firestone lineup in the long run. Hell they barely stock the things anymore.

>>15997995
Nigga wtf you talking about? Im broke as fuck, living with a friend because homeless, and i work minimum wage. I still throw on some Goodyears on the whip. They aren't that much more expensive. I'm rocking goodyear wramgler radials that cost me $80 each brand new with installation. You can get even cheaper shit at walmart that is quality. I would never trust a shitty offbrand tire with my life. That shit aint no joke. Get good tires man no excuses

>Goodyear
>thinks he knows what good tires are

Goodyear's are the biggest ripoff out there
>shitty ride quality
>excessive road noise for the price
>wear out like the rubber I stick in your mom

I've had all kinds of tires and BFGs off brand Riken is miles ahead of Goodyear's bullshit

>>16000666
Satan has a point, why cheap out on the only thing that actually touches the road on your car?

>>16000773
> Goodyears
> Bad
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahaba kill yourself. Thats why theyre one of the leading tire manufacturers, and F1 uses goodyear. Stay buttblasted that everyone who owns real tires (Michelin, bridgestone, bfg, etc.) Make fun of your shit kumho and off brand tires.

>>16000773
>wear out like the rubber I stick in your mom
You've never actually had sex before, have you?

>>16000773

Actually its funny you mention that, I just remembered my favorite thing about Goodyear.

Back when Roadforce balancers became a thing, Goodyear started getting -tons- of warranty adjustments from dealers. People have always complained that their vehicles vibrated apart with Goodyears, but just spinning them on a normal balancer never revealed anything, so people would replace the entire front end trying to eliminate problems brought on by the tires.

Suffice to say, Goodyear looked into it, and released a statement so fast you'd swear they had it written years ago. They immediately condemned Roadforce balancing, calling it every name in the book, and repeating over and over again that it doesn't prove that there is any problems with the tires. And just as fast as they released that statement, it became impossible to warranty for anything that wasn't abnormal wear. Which is to say, the tread lasted for more then 5 miles.

Overall, Goodyear hasn't done much to improve. Their light truck tires tend to get 20-30K before belt separation and car tires are laughable at best.

>>16000807
F1 has never used Goodyear.
Nascar uses Goodyear and F1 currently uses Pirelli

>>16000850
> F1 has never used Goodyear
U Wot M8!?

Oh nevermind some teams used goodyear in the 70s. wow.

Op: Sorry it took so long to respond. I personally dont use any of that stuff. Ive started using brake fluid. A friend I met at Cars and Coffee told me this trick. As you can see in this picture, >>15997880 . It was fucking wonders. Buy a pint of NAPA brake fluid ($3.98)and apply a good amount, dont put so much that its running off. Rinse and repeat on all four tires, let sit over for 3-4 hours
>profit
Try it man, its gr8. Also, youll get like 10 or more uses out of it.

It will not hurt the tires, brake fluid is in contact with rubber all the time, caliper seals, wheel cylinder cups, etc.

>>16001262

but a small dab compared to a whole bottle c'mon now

>>16001311
>c'mon now
Yeah because its ethical to use a whole bottle of brake fluid on one tire.

>>15997669
If they're over 10 years old yeah replace them. They're fine otherwise.

Oh, no shit eh? I didn't know that. That's actually really helpful.

>>16000666

You’re homeless, what do you have to live for? You could buy quite a bit of drugs and alcohol for the money you just blew on some tires.

>>15997669
When I was a younger idiot I drove at 123mph on tires rotted worse than that that weren't even speed rated for more than 116. I'm still alive.

Depends on how cautious you want to be
