Tyre issue

Postby atheda » Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:21 pm

I'm looking for some advice. Due to my own stupidity I realise that I have 3 tyres with about 8mm tread and one with 4mm. The odd pair on on the rear. I wonder if I should resolve by buying a new tyre to replace the one with 4mm or just leave and replace the pair when that tyre is down to say 2mm. The tyres are Pirelli P Zeros.

Thanks for any advice.

David,

With winter coming I suggest that maximum rubber depth is the way to go, especially on the rears. 8mm is virtually a new tyre. Match it with a new one.

Thanks for your response, Rod.
I agree with that and will get it done, before the weather gets much worse.

Re Tyre Issue
I would ask the question why the odd tyre as well as replacing it for a new one like for like (P Zeros 8mm is virtually new) Is the camber and castor setting ok for that wheel or did you just replace the others and kept that one having more tread . I had a failed tie-rod on my nearside rear which caused premature tread wear.
