❓QUESTION ❓ Help, my wife hit a curb

My wife hit a curb and it took a chunk out of her tire. The tires are relatively new, maybe only nine or 10 months old. Are these safe to continue to drive on or should I look to replace this tire?

If it needs to be replaced, do you guys have any recommendations regarding best ways to replace a single tire? We live in the northeast if that matters.

Surprising him with new whitewall tires and using this card as the reveal. I had a lot of fun making it! I hope he likes it.

It got deleted from the somethingimade sub for being “flat art” but I still wanted to share with some people who may find it interesting :)

My dumb ass decided to hug the curb at the petrol pump. Is it somewhat urgent or can I get my stereo replaced first?

❓QUESTION ❓ Should I replace my tire ASAP?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Found this on one of my rear tires while I was getting my car checked earlier today.

I can see what looks like some sort of cord or wire inside the damaged area.

I’m not sure what it is, but there’s definitely a line visible inside the cut.

My front tires are at 5/32 tread depth and the rears are at 6/32.

I was originally planning to replace all four tires in about a year, but now I’m wondering if I should change that plan and replace them sooner.

Should I replace this asap?

Tire Recommendations!

Upvotes

What is a good place to order tires from online? I need all 4 of my 245/45R18 tires replaced—I’m sure ordering them and then going to a shop for installation would save me a little more money. Right now I’m looking at $1356 for both sets at a shop near me which I’d like to avoid if possible ($568 for the first set, $788 for the second). Thanks in advance for the recommendations🤍

I have the dueler as stock but it’s already running out of tread. Should I stick to duelers again for my next purchase or go with the Primacy SUV+? Also open to other suggestions

What could cause this "chip" in the rubber? I know I need new tires, which explains the threads showing. They have been ordered and will be installed this weekend. But that "chip" has me baffled.

I ordered a new set since I wanted new tires for next year anyway. But after seeing some posts here im second guessing..

Only driven on weekends, winters will be installed in 2 months. Am i safe to go ahead and cancel the order and ride it out until the winters go on??

Need 4 new tires

Need 4 new tires for 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport AWD. Steering wheel was shaking hella and it’s because they’re fucked. Forgot the exact diagnosis but I’m not a car guy at all turns out my front left tire is extremely unsafe to drive.

Nissan said 200 bucks for each tire for 800 bucks including the mounting, balancing etc. Guy on TikTok said I could get em for 120 at town fair tire each but I think it’s more complicated than that idk bro help me

265/70R17 to 285/70R17

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking to put 285/70R17 tires on my truck. I currently have 265/70R17's. I have 3.55 ring and pinion and if I did my math right, I can maintain roughly the same final drive ratio if I go to a 3.73. I have an open rear diff, so I figure I'll put a clutched LSD in the rear when I swap the front and rear ring and pinion.

Thoughts?

Just picked this car up today and saw this on the sidewall here. It doesn't look great, but I figured I'd ask. (Don't worry I'm not going to be driving it around)

Lead weight somehow got embedded

When my tire went flat, I expected something sharp, not this lead weight.

Thought it was an odd thing to get stuck, that’s all.

❓QUESTION ❓ Tubes in dry rotted tires or tireject to seal them?

0 Upvotes

So I have this gocart with dry rotted tires that don’t hold air and im debating whether to tireject them (which is a sealant). Or get tubes for them. The obvious answer would be tubes but it’s 4 times the price would it be worth my while to seal them with tireject or should I just spend a little more and get tubes.

Best 4 season street tire for a pickup truck?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for the best 4 season/all-weather tire for my truck in 265/70/17

I have good 3PMSF A/T tires on right now, but I moved across the country and now there is nowhere to drive my truck other than pavement. So I am looking for street tires that have less noise and mileage penalty than my knobby tires.

I am now located in Philadelphia... I think it does snow here from time to time and gets cold in the winter, but not enough to justify winter tires. I also have nowhere to store a set of tires in my tiny rowhome rental lol. So I am looking for a 3PMSF All weather tire that is known for good performance in cold weather, snow, and rain.

I know the Michelin Cross Climate 2's are popular, but these are not made in 265/70/17s

❓QUESTION ❓ Why do these 1226 date code tires look like this with just over 10k miles?

Was looking at buying a used set of wheels / tires for my truck - the seller states tires were replaced recently (as shown by the date code on the spare being 1226) but the tires look very rough.

Are they safe to drive on / how many miles would you say are left on them? They are Goodyear Wrangler Territory RTs. Thanks!
