>>28737586i had 15 year old winter tires on until i switched them this month and i had 19 year old summer tires that i also switched last year
>>28737586I have tires made before they changed to metric measurements
>>28737586speak english
>>28737593What is the point of those little thin wire-like protrusions at the edges of the tire? Are they just a consequence of manufacturing or do they serve some sort of purpose?
>>28737586My tires are about six years old, the same age as my truck.
>>28737586Mine were made in August of this year. I will never run tired older than 6 years. They are, after all, the only thing between you and the ground.
>>28737586they're still bias ply
Tyre is more aesthetic than tire.
>>28737586Just changed the fronts a few months ago, rears are 2023 (good tread).
>>28737636he is.I tire of yanks not knowing what a tyre is.
>>28737638>Are they just a consequence of manufacturingyes. when injection molding you need a place for air to vent, so there are a bunch of tiny holes all over the mold. those holes get filled with rubber which are the little nubs
>>28737610They still make those, dummy.
>>28737712y do you spell it with a y lyke en ye olde 15th century London
You gotta be peak retard to run around on ancient rubber, even moreso if you're a Motorcyclist who actually rides. It's literally the first thing between you and the road dude
>>28737586>How old are your tyres?2 weeks old.
>>28737586I'm switching my tires on my corvette next year.They're from 2016.
i cant read this, its all chinese
>>28737586>Cдeлaнo в CCCPI "think the tyres are from the 70s or so, but I genuinely have no idea.
Thought I was smart and ran a 1998 tyre that hadn't be used. It de-laminated at 100KM/H and it was like a shotgun going off. Took off my left rear mudflap on my ute.5 years are good. 10 years okay. 15 years pushing it. 20 years? No way. 25, time to buy chinkies.
>>28738413supposedly older tyres would last longer because they used a lot more oil in their production. something like 20 us gallons per tyre. now because of pollution/emissions regulations that's down to 5. tyres are grippier than they've ever been before, but don't last as long.
>>28738416i thought so, had muddies barely last 3mo meanwhile older ones from2yrs ago dont even look warn wtf
>>28737789I need a rubber for my little nub.
>>28737589>>28737605The meeting of the "we can't spell" committee is now in session
>>28737589It is the correct way to spell tire. American spelling reform does much to destroy our understanding of everything in general.
>>28738523Rengas or fuck off.

>>28737712tyre*FTFY
>>287375863 years old.
>Summers2012+2014>Winter2017 >howStore them in plastic bags, away from the sun. Or coat them with tire shine before storage to offset some of the dry rot
>>28737586I don't know, quite a few years I guess... until last year when I popped one and got 2 new tyres for the back, then last week the front tyre popped so I got 2 new ones for the front, now it's all good... except for the engine and oil pressure which is absolutely ruining my car for me, but repairing it would be quite expensive, so I'm stuck with it for now at least.
>>28737712Is that like a tall, narrow castle where you hide the princess?
>>28737589It's a city
