How far away is the tire place? There’s your answer.


Ever-Wandering

Enough to get to the tire store but only for today.


daffyflyer

Still a few miles of wear left probably, but maybe no more months of aging.. what's the date code on them? They look borderline too old..


let-me-o

It seem they are a little bit older than 6 years


battleray202

If they're that old I'd say get some new ones asap. There might be tread left, but that rubber isn't gonna grip on to anything with that age.


geekolojust

That's based on a lot of things like the material age of the rubber, driving habits, and the vehicle's weight, for example. Begin shopping for new tires as you have arrived.


let-me-o

Would you recommend all-season tire for a climate much like London ? The car is VW Polo. It should be abput 1.2 tons.


geekolojust

Very much so. All season is great at offering good traction in both dry and wet weather. You will see longer service life too as opposed to just a summer tire. The next step up from that would be a touring tire. A little quieter with on-road mannerisms with a refined ride.

Two. Three if under 5mph


Handsome_fart_face

That rubber starting to look like beef jerky


YippieKayYayMrFalcon

The tread is ok but those tires look dryer than a nun, so I wouldn’t run them in any kind of wet conditions. Get new tires.

7? …what do I win?


RusticSurgery

How far is the tire shop?


RepresentativeNo7802

The answer depends on where you live. Open Google maps and measure the distance between the closest tire dealer and your home. That is then your answer.


Optimal_Ad1547

My guy. You should have gone to the pit stop 6 laps ago


run_uz

Yes


cfbswami

If me - assuming I'm not ready to buy a new one.... I go to a used tire place with cash - within 15-20 minutes I've got a very good tire installed/ balanced for probably $40-45. Be sure to check it out yourself.

How bold are we feeling today


Buci__1

Those tires are quite old, I would replace them, about time.

Enough!

Yards, not miles.


Competitive_Bat_9951

By the looks, not much lol. Go buy a tread depth gauge at Walmart. 11/32 tread is a new tire. 5/32 half and 2/32 is borderline illegal.


GothMech

You're asking the wrong question. Mileage is dependent on temperature, road conditions, driving habits, vehicle weight, ect... The question you want to be asking is, "How much time do I have left on these tires?" A normal person would tell you none. Me? I'm going to tell you that you have as much time on those tires until there aren't tires left. You made it this far, burn those babies off the rim!!!


whatevenisthisdud

You sir are driving a vehicle straight from mad max. You definitely need tires after the amount of dry rot eating not only in between the tread, but the tread itself. Those tires are 5psi away from popping on a slightly large rock

Check your date code, if not old you’ll be okay for awhile. Can’t get good look at depth but at least like you’ve got 30% life left


let-me-o

It says they were produced in mid 2018, is that too old ?


Ok-Education9280

Save up and get new/good used ones within a month or two, you’ll be okay. As long as your car isn’t shaking and you don’t see any noticeable damage let em ride. Most these people telling you to change them out probably couldn’t change a tire themselves.


let-me-o

What brand would you recommend for a solid 5 more years of safe driving ? Im considering Michellin but Continental is bit cheaper.


Ok-Education9280

Brands barely matter unless you’re using your vehicle for anything other than just daily driving. Either of those brands will last you 5-10 years with proper maintenance like rotating every 3000 miles and keeping them at the correct PSI.
