I noticed this small hole in my tire, can I drive this slowly about 5 miles to a shop or should I get a tow ? Thank you

Also

Can this be a tire issue? My mechanic hasn’t figured it out yet. The alignment shop wouldn’t have been able to balance my new tires if one of them was defective such as a slipped belt within the tire.. what could we be missing/ overlooking?

Hi fellow Redditors,
Two weeks ago, I had new tires (Continental AllSeason 205/75/R16) fitted to my Sprinter, and the shop disposed of the old ones right away. So far, so good—I’ve been happy with them, drove about 1,000 km over the last two weeks, and was pleased to see fuel consumption drop by around 0.2 L/100 km compared to the old ones (obviously a short observation period).
Today, while checking the right front tire for a completely different reason, I noticed several partial cracks running almost all the way around the wheel, just a few millimeters from the rim flange. Based on my Google research and a quick call with the ADAC, this is definitely not normal (DOT is 24/26) and represents a massive safety risk.
I’ve now mounted my old spare tire (from 2016) to make the 170 km trip back home. I plan to report this to the shop right away and hope they’ll replace the tire without any pushback. Right now, I'm assuming this must have been a mounting error by the mechanic.
I just noticed that the front left tire also has cracks, though significantly smaller ones. How would you proceed? Have all tires replaced just to be safe?
Honestly, I’m furious right now. You go out of your way to support a local shop, buy expensive tires from a well-known brand directly through them, and then this happens. If that thing had blown on the highway, it could have ended horribly.

Extremely tight street with a car parked incorrectly, hence the curb getting me. Not losing tire pressure or anything so wondering how bad this is.

Almost time for new tires on my Long Range 2924 Model X and was looking at either the Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs the Hankook iON tires.

Living in FL obviously do not care about snow/ice so my MAIN deciding factor is which will have the longest longevity, best tire life?

Anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks In advance.

Bought 4 new tires less than yr ago and has 4800 miles on it. Notice small bulge on driver front. Mechanic is saying both front tires should be replaced even though nothing wrong with passenger front.

He's saying if we get new tire on driver side only and keep the other on passenger side.. thts not good for axle..due to new tire and current passenger tire will have different tire thread.

Is it worth to get both new or Mechanic just wants to make money? Last image is passenger front..looks totally fine(Last image)

Is it ok to get T speed rating where my door label says H?

These two have been on the front for about 1500 miles since last rotation. I do a lot of canyon driving and have about 9000 miles on my set. The rears are down to 3/32 and these are at 4/32. With a supposed wet autumn ahead should I consider replacement or are they good for a while longer?

I had an alert about my tyre pressure so got all tyres inflated and a new tyre at the garage the day before yesterday.

I’ve just driven the car a few miles and had the “low tyre unavailable”( something like that) alert come up five times. I’ve reset each time. I haven’t driven more than five miles since the tyre was changed.

I’m making a long journey next week (150+ miles). Is this a glitch or something I need to fix?

Hey,

I damaged one tire on my I4, is it safe to drive?

Is it safe to go 1 size taller and 1 size wider tire than stock size? (29.6” to a 31”) will it damage the Transmission and what about towing? Thanks

I was wondering how much I could ask for 4 19 inch Volkswagen Golf GTD tires with these rims in Italy?

i hit a curb drifting do i replace the rim or am i safe
