Any recommendations for tyres? Car left less than 2 years.

Ya tyRes life span 2 yrs thereabouts or 40k so just get decent rubbers n be safe

Some brands they put their tire mileage life as 70,000 miles. That's more than 100,000km. Ain't that pushing too far?

 

Then again, its manufacture words. Should be trustworthy right?

 

For me. Max I go is 60,000km.

 

Radx. When we change tires, should we do alignment too?

100k is a bit too far. I would go 50k max. Normally 2 yrs is whn the rubber hardens and braking efficiency and all are compromised.

 

 

not really unless you feel that it veers off. Balancing is done at the shops immediately before putting the tyres on. High speed alignment not really necc, unless you do v high speeds all the time

When change tyre sure need to do balancing, the workshop will add weight to the rims the balance the rims with tyres. If you see the rims added with many weights means the manufacturing of the rim is not good. Need to compensate by balancing with extra weight.

 

Alignment for me usually do about 40K to 50K mileage or when there is change of new tyres or coilover.

I came across one tyre shop wants to sell me New but manufactured in year 2012 tyres.

 

Printed 1112, I suppose its 11th week of 2012.

 

You guys think its safe to buy?

A premium brand tyres are Safe to use this tyre for next 2 years at least

some may not feel comfortable ( I can understand)

if one said is not safe to use this 2012 tyres, please look around you you may still find quite numbers of cars are still on this 2012 tyre,would you tell them is not safe ?

since you left only 2 years, I would say most Good brand tyre can do th e job also provided with your care and maintenance of them.

Tyres are only 4 contacts between you and road.

fatman primacy if you ask me to tahan for 2 years.

 

This is my stock tyre. Decent so far but only 1k mileage lol.

Most tyre I use last about 40k. The recent falken 453 barely touches 30k.

 

Gonna try primacy to see if it last longer.

[Furrynadz]

for ur 2 yr and mileage

just get brand new tyres and late 2013 production at least

 

regardless the "lifespan" left, safety is most impt

[Zmasheroo]

Go to the big tyre shops which are likely to have good quality used ones.. Ask for say 70% thread left. Tyres less than 3 years old from manufacture I think is safe.

Premium brand Company sure can trust since they had published it

But it vary from market to market correct me if I am wrong due to weather conditions, road conditions/ type of car etc

exp we cant expect a tyre on Ferrari to last for 60,000 KM ?

[Zorro1]

Thanks guys!

 

I called up LS, they recommend GT radial, "HP" model. I think should be HPY? selling at $115ea. I think good price!

 

Any comments?

 

KU31 more reliable good and cheap except noise.

 

[Aukang]

What is the price differential between good and lousy tyres?

 

Agree with the brothers who have advised that the tyres are the only contact with the road, so try not to be penny wise pound foolish...

 

Go for one with good balance between braking distance and fuel economy....you will save some money from the fuel economy but also be safer knowing your car can come to a quicker stop if e braking needed.

price differential can be lot depending on the size and market

example like tyre for Porsche front 235/35/19 a good premium Original tyre for Porsche cost around $450 against a chepo no sign board tyre can be as low as $200 each

But is no really necessary to buy a top flagship tyre is you are doing a day to day driving (still a careful and responsible type)

just get the Premium brand and all rounder type you are peace of mind

[Yaloryalor]

Tks guys!

 

I have changed to GT Radial HPY model.

[Bochuns]

Yaloryalor, try not to have sharp turn during mild wet or wet raining day. I used before this brand GT Radial HPY ( 235/35/19 ) before and got an accident at River Valley road few years back on CNY. Self claim almost 9k, dare not buy this kind of tyres again.

could it be oil stains on the road?

 

i used few sets of HPY and kup corners at 180 degrees band all ok. I would say its a value for money tire.
