baka may bumili.
not everybody is aware of, or believes in, the so-called five-year-old tire lifetime.
the range varies, depending on what literature one reads.

if the average mileage of a tire is 40K,
90% means it has been used for only 4K km, and is good for 36K km more.

I know you said “if”, but what is generally the average mileage of a set nowadays? For my hatch, the original Kumho &replacement Bridgestone Ecopia lasted only 40k+-. A higher end tire I replaced those with lasted 88k.

Sa madadala na lang. For some though, di na papansinin yan.

I wouldn’t gamble if it were me. I’d rather spend for affordable tires than a premium one which is 5 years old. Unless siguro na bentang ibibigay na tapos ilalagay mo sa kotseng ibebenta.

88k km? Anong brand yan? Saan ginamit?

The Bridgestone Dueler HLs on my XT were replaced at 36k km (or was it 39k). I replaced them with Dueler HP Sport and I will be a happy camper if it would last the same.

Petlas road tyres. Could have gone more if I based it on the thread indicators but I didn’t want to risk it because the rainy season was coming.
