tire replacement imminent?

[andrew_j]

I was peeking a wife’s nearly worn out RT45s and notice a flap a few wires present:

Immediate(this week?) or soon(within month)

 

[TomYoung]

Bald on the edges, too. Why would you wait a month. Btw, I would suspect severe dry rot given this type of damage. How old are those tires. Lastly, don’t be misled by the remaining tread. That tire is finished imho.

 

[SC Maintenance]

Yes those tires are shot.

But I would be more worried about the lack of tread over that little tear. It would be on my to do list near term.

Replace them as soon as you can.

If you like General, they have the 365AW all-weather tire out now. If you don't have a lot of money, there are cheaper all-weather tires at Walmart

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

No I would have replace nearly a month ago at everyone's Laborday sale!

More like yesterday….those would be dangerous at speeds over 40mph…..

 

[Rand]

Those are just getting broken in by north east ohio standard. (/sarcasm)

Yes replace as soon as convenient. doubt a week or 3 makes much difference.

More like yesterday….those would be dangerous at speeds over 40mph…..

In the rain.. certainly .. in dry .. not so much.

Agree, don’t drive the vehicle until tires are replaced

Costco Michelin sale goes through October according to the sales guy a couple days ago. Website said 9/21 end date but he said it just the first, its normally on for 2.

 

[Dave Hess]

ASAP !!!!!

 

[walterjay]

If for some reason the car has to be driven do not drive in the rain. Those tires would be dangerous.

I would have replaced those a year ago

 

[jadmt]

Depends what kind of driving you do. if never above 25-30 mph with just short trips you could wait...if getting ready to head out on a roadtrip on the interstate I would replace asap. trust me I have seen tires much worse on vehicles....scary what some people drive on.

 

[ryanschillinger]

They’re ready but that tear doesn’t look like dry rot. Looks like something in the road cut it but didn’t puncture it.

 

[Delta]

Those should have been replaced months ago.

But, none of us know the circumstances around this, not gonna assume.

 

[ARCOgraphite]

I am in the same boat with my wife's Subaru Yokohama Geolanders down to slicks.

Was looking at these - big sale if you buy before end of the month - are low end Pirelli's junk?

Wife drives 30k/yr and they were worn but not worn out year ago.

That all being said went for CrossClimate2 over RT45 because I like skiing when it dumps snow and encounter everything on the way up. Hopefully we can get 2.5 years out those too

They get installed Friday.

I got the Pirelli P4s (now called P4 Persist) on closeout from WM and they were a great tire.

OP has his month to source new rubber.

 

[jadmt]

we have put over 15,000 miles in less than a year on our CC2's (mazda cx5 turbo) and they have been great in Montana snow and ice..as well as on the dry twisties.....great tires for sure.

That tire is toast. You can clearly see the dry rot. Must be pretty noisy too. Change them ASAP.
