How often should I change my tires?

they have another 20k at least

>having racing slicks on your daily shitbox

Boi

Changing tires is a meme. They last the lifetime of the vehicle

About as often as you need to change your cupholders

When the wear bars are worn away, Duh.

Tires should be replaced every 5 or 6 years, though some may be good for longer depending on the compound. Rubber degrades over time and dry rots, at which point, they become dangerous to drive on.

Fuck I must be hard on my tires. I've never had a tire last more than 3 years and I switch out in the winter.

Those things look like you never oiled them

I get roughly 15K on fronts. 10K on rears. By then there's frayed wires.

>>16663693
At least as often as you change your underwear.

>>16663693
Those tires aren't even dangerous to drive on, you just need to make sure they are above 170f

>>16663693
You just need new tires once those ones stop holding air

>>16665251
>oil tires
wat

>>16663693
it shouldnt be a "how often" type question it should be "when"
when theyre under 2/3 tread you should probably get new tires or when they are dry rot

>>16666196
so bald tires are ok as long as you take a blowtorch to them before you drive?

How slowly are you shits driving to make them last so long? I got the last pair of tyres for my shitbox down to the wear bars in like 3 months.

>>16663693
After one good day.

>>16663693
My tires r noisy and uncomfortable but they seem fine. There from 2013 and have allot of tread. Should i get new tires, or should i get 4 new rims and new tires? I'm not what to do tbqh.

>>16667941
>he doesn't oil his tyres
get a load of this faggot

>>16665244
3 months?? Ease up on the skids mate

depends what kinda driving you do and if you have awd imo

rotate them. think 6k is the standard, but who gives a shit

my front tires are 8 year old

my back tires are 12 year old at least

rate me tire age

Tires should be replaced when you see wear bars are flush with your tire.

After that point, when you begin to wear down your wear bars, it's dangerous, and shouldn't be on the road.

You should also make sure your alignment is good, and have your tires rotated every season.

Summer tires should "last" for 5-6 years, without getting hard and brittle, while winters will be 4-5 years, because they're softer.

depends on tire
depends on road
depends on driving

I'd estimate 15k on the low end, and 50k on the high end, for mileage on a new tire.

Unless there's some issue with your suspension that would cause premature wear, I had an MX-6 with a fucked up front end that would just eat the inside of my tires up in 4 months, so I just kept buying 25 dollar used tires that weren't even the right size until I got it fixed.

>changing tires

About as often as you fill up your blinker fluid.

I change them when my local dealer tells me to during my every 3000 mile service

>>16669464
Are your tires made of butter? Try a tire with a higher treadwear rating next time

>>16663693

Summers coming up, those look perfect!

Git gud at hooning. I used to go through a lightly used pair every couple weeks with my blazer S10. Even my cheap main fwd shitbox goes through a pair every year or less.

What's the point of a "sports car" if you drive like a Grandma in a minivan? That's the same as a brotruck never going off road.

Plz respond

>>16673943
I've gotten 3 flat tires in the past year. I just need to get on more flat on my front left so I can have a whole new set.

>>16671674
Sort of this. Modern tires should usually outlast your car unless you puncture them. Or unless you buy the absolute cheapest and sketchiest brand from Walmart, but even modern cheap tires are leagues ahead of "performance tires" from less than 15 years ago. Basically unless you run over a spike strip you should never even have to think about your tires in 2017. They never wear out.

>>16674310
You're good bro

>>16673265
Are you me?
I don't offer car advice to my gf's family but whenever I offer advice on anything else she gets pissed because they're poor at least one of them gets offended because of my suggestions or they get really defensive.

>have rich gf
>tell her she needs to take her Benz to get it's brakes checked because they won't stop fucking squealing at every stop
>tells me it's ok because she just took it in to get serviced and mechanic said it's a common thing on that model

>>16663693
Real shitbox riders change out tires one at a time when they blowout or become un fixable and always with a quality used tire from your friendly mexican tire shop

6/10.

I drove around all summer on rear tires that were made in '98

>>16674384
Thanks my mane

My Michelin tires are at 55k miles which is when the warranty expires.
It does look like about 5% of tread left before it goes completely bald.
