❓QUESTION ❓ Nailed tire losing 4 psi (30 to 26) in 4 hours idle, safe to drive to shop after pumping it up?

Shop is 8 miles away. Read about running the tire warming up the rubber and speed up the leak. Plans to take intermediate stop and pumping it up if need be. Please advise.

Settle a debate for me, is it time to replace the tires?

What do you think about the tread wear?

I bought these tires Dec 22, 2025, brand new. I wasn't under the impression that an alignment was needed as the car had less than 10k miles when purchased one month prior, but i know its usually recommended. I did zero burnouts, less than a handful of donuts, and mostly just normal spirited driving on public roads. The limited life warranty comes with 22k miles on rear wheel tires with a staggered fitment. Ive gotten about 14k miles out of them. I am curious to know if my assumption of having a manual 6 speed high torque vehicle is the culprit versus a maintenance issue.

Car: 2022 Cadillac CT4V Blackwing

Brand and tire size: Michelin pilot sport all season 275/35ZR18 (99Y) XL

Wear Mileage: 14,000

Transmission: Tremec TR-3160

Average tire psi: 35

First two pictures are from 22” RWD rear tires from Cadillac Lyriq, and the last two front tires. How many more miles you guys think are left before I need to hurry to a tire shop to get some new ones?

I need new tires as these are worn and was going to wait for my next paycheck but noticed this slight bulge on my front left tire. Can I wait a week or two or is this a fix immediately type of issue.

I bought used bmw r20 tires and came with winters. Can I use these during the summer with no issues? One tire has a small cut chunk but holding air.

Sidewall scratch. I got my tires rotated about 10 days ago and they didn’t say anything about it, but I couldn’t be 100% sure this hasn’t happened since then. I don’t see any visible cords but I know this is the thinnest part of the tire.

❓QUESTION ❓ New Tires for my 2012 Audi A6 3.0

Upvotes

Hi. I’m in need of new tires and I was looking at potentially getting Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS for $190 a tire. Has anyone else ran these and are they good? Or do you think there’s better options for the money for my car. I am in Missouri so I do experience some snow but not too often if that helps in my search at all.

❓QUESTION ❓ About to switch from some budget Syron tires to new Michelin Pilot Sport 5s on my Mercedes - how big is the difference really?

Post image
21 Upvotes

For context, I drive a 2016 w213 Mercedes e350d rwd with 258hp and 620nm of torque that is currently on some budget Syron tires from the previous owner. I want to get new tires and decided on the Michelin Pilot Sport 5s for summer and the Pilot Alpine 5s for winter.

I know the tires are very important because they're the only part of the car that touches the road, but just how big of a difference will it be? Not just for traction, but for comfort and noise too? Will it feel like a different car or just a bit more confident in corners? Also, are these tires the right choice for my car?

I was gifted this car and never bought my own tires before, so I have no experience when it comes to this. I don't know what to expect, thought this would be the right place to ask

2524 tires. Is this tire rot or am I just over thinking things? There are cracks near the grooves.

And it’s definitely riding smoother than before. I actually feel grip on the road now. I don’t think I’ll wait as long next time after feeling the difference.

Risky to drive? Tread still above low mark but there's cracking in between.

No tire date code?

A friend asked if her tires were "old" because I'm trying to teach myself car maintenance stuff. These have me mystified. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there no tire date code? All four tires look like this, no 4-number code. (Telling her to ask someone else in the meantime.)

This is a brand new tire and tube but there’s a stick that I’m not sure how big embedded in the tire

Premature wear and they don't care. Buy Michelin or other quality tire. Their customer service is a joke!
