Pureness Clutched November 25, 2012 Share November 25, 2012 my tires are wearing thin already, the michellin man's hands are now gone and the tires are starting to skid during wet weather my friend says that a 5m skidding during dry weather is still safe because we usually keep a 10m distance between us and the car in front just wondering, what is the norm that people will usually use to judge when to change tires? how many meters skid is allowable for wet and dry conditions? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an idiot for a friend who uses skidding distance to judge tyre changes. Please don't learn any car related stuff from him and make an intelligent choice to cleanse yourself of stupid friends. For me, very simple. I change at 40k km interval or when I feel that the grip is not as good as before or when the thread has worn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged November 25, 2012 Share November 25, 2012 Change when you hit the wear bars. Judging by how many meters you skid is not accurate because you skid different distances at different speeds, different road surfaces, not just based on wet or dry alone.
