Perished tyres

[Dealkent]

Has anyone experienced this new phenomenon, you take car for service , the tread is excellent, but the tyres are “ perished “ , cracks etc ?

just had 2 new tyres fitted but after speaking to friends I’m beginning to wish I just left it for a year or two ?

Better safe than sorry though I would say 😊

Did you check the date code on the tyres before you binned them?

Is it a Michelin tyre?

They are notorious for sidewall cracking after a few years

Where is the date code ? What a Muslim I’m looking for and wha5 should they Be ? 

My point is , not long ago I Neve heard of having new tyres be cause they are perished , and when you can only see the person tyre with extreme scrutiny ? Just looks like another convenient money mAker

The date code will be on the sidewall of the tyre, it will be an oval shape and have 4 number in it 2514 for example.

So that’s week 25 of 2014, I’ll get a pic of mine on my 300h

 

There you go.

Is it ? That’s useful to know . 

The garage recommended Yokohama or Nexus , which were cheaper but actually rated better so I chose 

them .
