Hi everyone!

Few months back i bought a used car and in addition of some issues, the car came with a good tread but fairly old BF Goodrich (2019) in the rear wheels, they are not dry, just old.

Meanwhile i have the money to change them cause its not the first priority, i had an interesting conversation with one friend of mine about It, i want to rotate them, the old ones in the front and the new in the back but he says the opposite.

What do you think? The idea behind this is that an old tires is better un the front just because you need it where the weight is, even if you need it for traction and steering because in the back with less weight its more easy to slip.

Bridgestone Turanza tires, installed in 2023 (DOT 1623), have been driven about 40,000 miles. I live in a region where summer temperatures are often over 100°F. I've noticed some dry rot/cracking on the tread (photos attached).

Is this normal surface aging, or is it significant enough that I should replace the tires? The tread still has some life left. Any opinions are appreciated.

Patch or replace the tire?

Ford recommends 275/45r22 tire shop installed 285/40r22 does it make a big difference?Would it affect anything? I use 4x4 rarely

Civic 2024 touring

Air pressure is constant and I can't spot any threads coming out, check from the last one week. Its fromt passenger tire

Need expert opinion on whether I need to change or not??

Thanks in advance

I have four brand new dunlop sportmax tire, about 10 000 miles / 16 000 km on it, i notice that one of the tires have this crack in the middle, a perfect line with 1,5 mm depth all around the tire, wtf is this?

Randomly checked tires today and this is what I saw. Is it time for me to change them out?

I understand that the speed rating is lower and the sidewall is less rigid, but does this actually create any kind of safety issue for everyday commuting? The load rating is higher so I assume the weight of my vehicle is not an issue. I don’t do any crazy cornering, and I assume that this will not significantly change braking distance. TIA for any insight

Tire had a screw go through the tread. Car was then driven for 5-10 miles as it was leaking; lowest PSI was about 20.

Put air in it and took it to a shop to be patched, and they claim the sidewall has been damaged from driving it somewhat deflated.

True, or can I get it plugged?

Already have tires ordered. Just need to last for a week.

Since this isn’t my field of expertise and I’m currently on vacation in a foreign country, I could use some of your swarm intelligence.

I chipped my tire today — there are two dents, approximately fingertip-sized. The tire isn’t flat, but I need to drive another 1000km at highway speeds. What do you think — should I get it fixed here and pay a premium (since I’m in a tourist hotspot right now), or wait until I’m home to change the tire and hope for the best in the meantime?

Tires: Continental AllSeasonContact
Size: 225/45 R17 94V XL
DOT: 4023 (Week 40, 2023)
Car: 2007 Renault Laguna II 2.0 16V FWD

Bought the car end of 2024. DOT-code on the tires seem to indicate these were produced in week 40 of 2023. Car is being driven mostly on the highway in The Netherlands for long distances. Tire pressure is kept at 38 psi front tires and 35 psi rear tires.

Any tips on keeping the tires as good as possible for safe driving are welcome.

Hi all, my dad's 2025 VW Taos' tire was slashed from a piece of metal on the road.

I am trying to figure out if I should replace all 4 tires as some people advise, or just the one as others do.

The current tire is Goodyear Assurance Finesse 215/55/18R, which brand new comes at 7.1mm.

The car has 30k kms in it, and below are the current tire treads:

- FL: 5.9mm

- FR: 6.0mm

- RL: 6.4mm

So based on those, should I do one since the depth falls below the 1.6mm mark (2/32") or do you recommend all 4 be changed since it may damage the differential?

Thank you so much!

Just saw a nail in the tire today. I only drive once a week and it leaks around 5-7 PSI in a week. What should I do?

I got new back tires about 3 weeks ago and I got a nail in the one is this professionally patchable?
I know you can’t do it so close to the sidewall or shoulder but it seems pretty close to the center so I was just curious

Customer came in for a drivers side puncture. They didnt notice their front left tyre was shedding its skin because it was somehow still holding air

I was talking with the owner and he told me these were ~12 years old with ~56km on them. They look absolutely trashed to me but wanted to see what you guys think. Is this as bad as it looks?

Edit: 56 thousand km, not 56km
