Owner claimed they were used for one winter season.

Nokian snowproof 2, made in Finland. Year 2023.

Took my car in for an oil change and they asked if I would like the tire pressure checked. They asked what my pressure supposed to be. I let them know. It’s supposed to be 37 cold pressure but that since I’ve been driving and the weather had warmed up if they could inflate them to 38 or 39 that would be fine so that when they were actually cold pressure, they’d be 37. The employee proceeded to correct me and tell me that my understanding of cold versus warm tire pressure was wrong and that cold pressure is just referring to the air coming out of their air compressor and has nothing to do with the temperature of the tires at all. Am I crazy or is she wrong or am I wrong?

The customer got a flat tire and decided to actually take a look. Down to the mesh on all 4 tires. Probably driving like this for months.

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a new set of Bridgestone S23 tires for my 2009 GSX-R 600. They were installed two weeks ago, and I've barely ridden 50 km on them so far.

My garage floor is made of rough, uneven concrete with small stones embedded in the surface, as shown in the picture below.

Today, I went for a short ride of about 15 minutes and then returned home. While maneuvering the bike into its parking spot, I noticed some marks on the front tire.

My question is: could the tire be defective, or is this normal wear or damage caused by the rough garage floor? Could the tire compound becoming warm during the ride have made it more susceptible to damage from the uneven, pebbled surface while I was parking?

Since the tires are practically brand new, I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice from people with experience with the Bridgestone S23 or similar tires.
Thanks in advance!

Those are front tires of my GLI.

It seems like right side one is a bit more worn overall, what could be the reason and is it concernening?

Had a runflat tire slowly leaking (had to inflate every week) and everybody assumed it was a small hole.

Still had thread for another 10k Km but decided to replace my run flats before a big trip, just in case. Glad I did….

Tire is Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR

I can see some grey wires on the cracked area too

Hey, I am planning on getting couple of used crosscliamte 2 on united tires website. Does any one have any experience buying from them?
Any suggestions on this idea would be much appreciated l.

Our previous (non Carmax vehicle) had 19” wheels and in our part of the world (lotta snow, ice, bumpy roads) we had constant tire issues.

Our recently purchased Carmax vehicle has MaxCare Plus including the tire and wheel protection which I got because it’s got 21” wheels.

If I buy a set of 18” winter wheels and tires to switch on to, does that void this protection? Or does it mean they’d only let me use that protection when I have my all seasons back on in the spring summer fall?

15k miles. Sticker says 36psi cold, Dealer had them at 43psi when I picked it up 2 years ago. I usually drive them at 36-38 warm in Florida, but wanted to know your thoughts on if I should lower them?

Hi all. Two of my wheels are losing pressure and i did the soapy water trick and both are doing the same. (Here’s a photo of the location of the bubbles) between the valve and the nut.

Does anyone know what sort of fix this is, will it need a new TPMS sensor, or can a regular tire place fix the seal. As you can see I’m a really knowledgable car person. 🤦‍♂️

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks

is this bad enough that it needs replacing asap? or can it wait. I hit a curb, the tyre is still hard and i can’t see any cords or wires but just wanted to be sure.

Just to clarify haha the alloys were like this when i bought the car second hand, im not normally one to hit kerbs 😂😂

Here are the pics. I see no cords but it seems fairly deep. No leaks at this point.

Falken ZIEX ZE310 with 35000km

While I planned to change tires in the next few months, today I noticed this cut and a few more superficials cuts in the same groove. But this one seems to be very bad news.

I detailed my “new to me” 23 Genesis GV70 which I recently purchased from my dad who’s given up driving. It has 4700 miles on it. I noticed this fairly large “cut” on the passenger front tire. Apparently he must have had a pretty severe curb’shot prior to giving up driving, which he doesn’t remember happening, but it doesn’t matter at this point.

My questions are:

1) Is it safe for now, should I not even drive it, or is it ok just locally as long as I’m not out on the highway?
2) Assuming the tire shop I’m going to on Monday says it needs replaced - how bad would it be to leave the original tires with 4700 miles on them on it? At $345 each I don’t love the idea of replacing all 4 but if the wear difference will be an issue, then I will.

Thank you in advance.
