When Do You Replace Tires?

[dr. d]

my personal practice is to replace tires on the third year after it was installed, kahit makapal pa. And i always replace in pair.

Peace of mind.

And nakasanayan na din, kasi where i lived before (about 2km away from blumentritt, manila) you can easily trade your used tires for brand new tires at very reasonable price.

tanong ko.. magkano ang trade in value ng used tires ninyo?

[sean-archer]

Old tires should always be in front, sir.

Losing a control of / or a front tire is easier to control than losing control of the rear...

Oh no, baligtad yata paniwala ko all this time. I always put older tires at the rear. I've always thought Mas may tendency mag flip over yung car if pumutok yung harapan. Guess I need wheel rotation soon.

If you always drive at highway speeds and/or on twisting roads, new tires goes to the REAR.

If you predominantly drive in Metro Manila, new tires in FRONT.

The assumption here is that, in either cases, the old tires are still road-worthy.

I know someone from Melbourne (I have a lot of stories from this guy since wais sya sa buhay... better term is magulang)
He bought a tire from a reputable service centre with warranty... Before the warranty ends, I-run flat nya konti yung tire para mag karoon ng side wall damage...
Tire gets replaced and the new tire will have a warranty again, same procedure later...

This is being wise in a negative sense ... it's taking advantage of goodwill ...

hindi kasi sinisita.

thread. tread.
customer. costumer.
brake. break.
loose. lose.

Because people would start saying that you're a grammar police ... tried making a thread about this ...

[Walter]

yep i know 10yrs is pushing it. but if car is mostly in covered garage away from sunlight and there's absolutely no damage or cracking (even just micro-cracking), up to 10yrs should be ok. that's michelin's recommendation anyway

This is correct ... 6 years is for the average person who doesn't really take care of their vehicle ... it's same concept as change oil every 10,000 kms or 12 months ...

[Walter]

that's the definition of sloppiness. pinoys can't be world-class if we're sloppy. this culture is so pervasive that's why everything pinoy is sloppy, just look around

anyway, for top quality tires like michelin i'd feel comfortable using them up to 10yrs from manufacturing date, as long as there's absolutely no damage

You should see how people in the U.S. can't even spell ...

male pala spilling ko. pasentia na. 🤡🤡🤡

It's mali, not male ... espiling not spilling ... pasensha not pasentia ...

aren't you even a bit concerned that 95% can't spell tread correctly???
why are we even having this discussion

Maybe because you sort of put a negative tone into the topic ...

My personal rule kung di kaya magpalit ng 4...
2 muna and lagay sa harap... Luma sa likod.

Place the tires with more grip at the rear ...

You shouldn't even be using those tires if you are concerned they might blow up ...

[Wh1stl3r]

I try to rotate my tires regularly so that they will all need replacing at the same time. If I need to replace only 2, I put them up front, just personal preference. I find that they scrub in faster up front. But I drive as though it were a new car with brakes that haven't been broken in.

If I suspect I may have misalignment up front I put them in the rear.

[jut703]

I also rotate my tires so that they wear evenly and eventually I replace all 4 at the same time.

My Kumhos are now at 35,000 km travelled and I'll probably replace them in the next 2 months. Eyeing the GT SX2 or Yoko Advan V701 - I want something grippy, I need something that lasts long.

But on a tire blowout scenario, which is more survivable?
Blown front tire or back tire?

Front. You still have your steering to get the car back in control.

A rear blowout is prone to oversteer which most people don't know how to react to.

I see, thanks.
Then new tires should always be on the rear.

I disagree...

Kapag likod ma-flat, mas madali icontrol yung car.

Sa harap, biglang kakabig yung car sa direction ng flat tire.

Wag ka lang biglang mag-brakes...

[uls]

i'd put the thicker tires in front

[Ry_Tower]

Thicker tires should be in the front if ever the tires are for replacement already.
