recently nabutas yung gulong ko ng m6-m8 na bolt.. na repair naman, niluto yung patch di na daw kase kaya ng cold patch... then naibyahe ko sa tagaytay ok naman sya. kaso parang naiisip ko baka sumabog kase since lage ako nasa expressway...

I'm using Goodyear cargo 1 year palang nasa 80% pa yung thread

I won't sacrifice my safety with that. Palitan mo na lang since madalas ka sa expressway

Use the reserve tire, have the wheels balanced, keep the repaired tire as your new spare tire

throw it away. one day, you will be forced to use it, and it will blow out on you. and you will remember my advise.

rotate it, sir. as per recommendation. buy a new tire. isama nyo silang lahat sa automotive trip to jerusalem.

i mean, throw away the damaged tire. keeping it as a spare will only compound your flat tire... when the "spare" blows out also.

as an aside, there was an interesting article a few months ago, from a well-known international tire manufacturer. it was entitled, "tires are not bananas".
in summary, it said that there are many more factors to consider than age, that will affect tire longevity.
