Claiming warranty on tires is no different to trying to claim warranty on condoms.😂

it's user's problem or sway ... either way ... ownself claim ownself ...

I personally feel rotation at every 10k is needless. 

 

Halfway through the life span of 20k to 25k just switch once would do. 

 

I rotated when hit 20k

 

and planning to change at 40-45k km

now my tyre tread for all tyres about the same depth

if the indicator almost reach the surface means need to replace liao

i use a digital one to measure thread depth to see wear. can measure when the tire is new the center and left and right side thread depth.

i know its boliao... but i get a kick out of observing the different wear on different wheels.

I always put new ones at the front.....

Front drive cars tend to understeer. So with old tyres at the back causing oversteer, the 2 effects should shui shui cancel out each other and we should get very neutral handling!

much more so when wet. if dry, then you get a nice oversteer. if wet good luck controlling the snap oversteer

@Mkl22 you are very correct to said that.

first we must understand the rationale of Tire warranty?

is a Quality assurance by the manufacturers, i personally wont and buy a Products has No Warranty especially Risk like quality failure will lead to some kind of Danger.

and some cases tire failed are due to drivers negligent like poor maintenance like  low pressure , wrong tire size , tire punctured repair by not recommended way (external repair).

i am very sure if you are the Manufactures you wont accept claim when is due to Wear and tare or Improper use of your Products.

just my Persoanl POV

@Beregond yes, rear:

my rear passenger tyre started flat on my school run last week. Continued on with school run and managed to drag the car to tyre track in yishun. 

They said tyre beyond repair. Inner sidewall crack due to running too long as flat. No new tyres available. So they gave me an old one. Charged me 75 dollars. 

I didn't really check the replacement Michelin tyre then. I assumed their old one is like still usable type. But actually it's reached the wear indicator already when I checked later. 

My other tyres are 11k in. So should be good for another 30k km. And my rear driver side the tyre is still good. So what should I do now? Replace with new f1a5 tyre? But can't rotate right? 

What would u do?

That's quite a big carrot 75 for a totally worn tyre!

 

I would just replace the rear two and keep the good one as a spare in case the same thing happens to the front.  For me I won't mind mismatched tyres as long as the same tyres are on the same axle.  If you mind then get back the same ones.

I think the $75 it is more for the workmanship.  A bit on the high side but I would gladly pay if I were in the same situation.

I don't mind paying. After all I didn't want to get my hands dirty and grunting, trying to change a tyre that's why I drove to the tyre shop. 

I should have checked the tyre before I accepted the offer. 

Just that now I have a problem. I thought this tyre could stay for another 10-15k km before I swap. But better to settle it once and for all.

Hmm sounds like a possibility. Can't think of anything else otherwise.
