I have a 2004 Mazda 3 with Michelin Pilot Exalto tires. Tires were bought in '06 after the oem were replaced, they were produced in the 19th week of 2006 so about 6.5 years old at this point. I have noticed the dry rot getting worse as of late, so wanted to snap some pictures and see what everyone thought.
The tire in the first three photo's has a small leak (1psi a week), while all the others are always solid. I plan to keep the car till the wheels fall off, only at 95k right now. There is still enough tread left on them. Just wanted opinions, would you dump them of ride them another year (5-10k) and then get fresh tires? Thank you for any responses.
