When Do You Replace Tires?

[Walter]

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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...

i'd put the thicker tires in front

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