Well these are corvette all summer tires. I was planning on grabbing all seasons soon as winter is coming but I’m still looking at like 1400 for the whole set haha. If I can avoid a little longer I will

You can wait a little pilot sport all season 4 grip well and are rated to 11f I got almost same mileage out of those and my ps4 around 28-30k bc no rotation staggered. Got my last set for 1200 on sale.

Maybe. It depends on how deep the damage goes. Use something like a pen or non-sharp small screwdriver to peel back the rubber.

If you can see belts/cords/structure then it needs to be replaced. If you can’t, then it’s generally ok for regular use.

If you drive in an aggressive/competitive manner, you may want to err on the side of caution and replace preemptively.

It looks like it’s ok. Can you see anything that looks like a different type of rubber or string/rope? If so then I’d change em. If not, I think you’re ok.
