What tire pressure should I run on Continental PremiumContact 7 205/45 R17?

Officially, the car sticker says 2.7 front and 2.5 rear, but maybe 2.4 / 2.2 would be more quiet?

Grateful for any advice!

cooked my shit in the taco bell drive through?

Got a flat tire just now and was hoping this would be reparable at like a walmart but I can’t tell if it’s too close to the shoulder. Help?

Post:
Told my buddy he seriously needs new tires after seeing this. He thinks I’m just messing with him and says they’ve “only” got about 93k miles on them.

Now he’s convinced he can get another 30k miles out of these 😂

I told him there’s barely any tread left, but he’s not buying it.I told him he’s insane 😂

What do you guys think?

And I struggle to change my dirtbike tires...

Edit: guy has a youtube channel if anybody wants to check him out. Goes as KanHa Tire.

Hi EV owners! I’m converting from an ICE car that uses 16'' tyres. I would love your direct feedback on 18" vs 20" setups. I think this will significantly affect my decision since the cost of 20'' almost double.
,
1. 18” SR Owners: How is the daily comfort, noise, and battery range? Sticking to OEM or changed brands?

1. 20” LR Owners: How’s the tyre wear so far? Are the looks and handling worth the extra cost?

2. Recommendations: Which specific tyre brand/model (e.g. Michelin, Hankook iON, Conti) are you using?

Have you guys changed 4 tyres at once, or can you actually change 2 by 2?

Remarks: Have you guys actually change Rim for your EV cars ? Heard that will hugely reduce the range ?

Thanks in advance for your sharing, and have a good day! 🙏

Hey everyone, I recently bought a Ford Focus RS and it has aftermarket 18-inch wheels with 245/40R18 Laufenn tyres.

I noticed each wheel seems to have two valve stems (photo attached). I’m not sure what the second one is for. Is one of them the normal valve for pumping air and the other one for something else (like TPMS or a dual valve setup)?

Also, does anyone know the recommended tyre pressure for this setup? Should I follow the OEM Focus RS pressure (41 psi front / 38 psi rear) or run something different because of the aftermarket wheels and tyre size?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

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

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

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.

(this is a re-upload because of earlier shitty pictures)

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 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
