Pls advice....thks! maybe changing after CNY...my current already cover 40k....thks! bro, can't have your cake and eat it. Grippy tyres never quiet, quiet tyres never grippy. If want a good deal of both then it'll never be $200 and below. You are looking for 17", not 15". And why want pay by credit card? Just pay one shot..total damage less than $1k. Not worth to pay extra for interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost control of the steering wheel for half sec when i was travelling ecp towards city downslope before the camera at rochor. I am currently on 44000km. You cannot say how many KM before changing tires. It depends on a lot of factor, like wear rate of tires, how you drive, the roads & condition you drive, etc. However, you can check the thread wear indicator (located near side wall of tire) to see if your thread is wearing off over the recommended level, or see if there are uneven wear. You you are not sure, you can always check with a tire shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicky Neutral Newbie January 22, 2012 Share January 22, 2012 I always think the tire shop always tries to make a fast buck out of us and say this has to change, that has to change etc. Thats why dont trust what they say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send your gf in your avatar to the shop, I am sure there is a fair chance they change your tires for free. Maybe even give you a nice set of Volks wheels. Anyway, on a serious note, check this video.

Achee 4th Gear January 22, 2012 Share January 22, 2012 What you have experienced is aqua planning and that is very dangerous as it causes your vehicle to lose control. Change your tyres if you can but before that drive slowly and carefully, especially during rainy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
