Replace. What’s your daughter’s life worth to you?
They’re 16” tires. It’s not even that expensive. I bought my daughter a brand new awd car with those fancy safety systems. Then I bought her a snow tire/wheel package and people said I’m just wasting money. My daughter’s life is worth it. |

Isn't that what's called "dry rot"?

X3 with Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter tires.
The tires are from around April 2013 (date code). That makes them 9 years old. 1. there is no exterior dry rot like in the first post of this thread. 2. the vehicle is used as the snow vehicle in the winter. As a result of infrequent snow, the winter tires have lots of tread. If the vehicle is not driven in the winter, then a 12 mile trip is driven every 10 days in the winter to keep mechanical parts in the vehicle moving. (FYI, the vehicle is used as the road trip car in the summer as well as to haul things) My plans are: A. Use the winter tires one more month then replace them. B. Use the winter tires one more season (2022-2023). The estimated mileage for the 2022-2023 winter is 300 miles at most. This plan might result in the next set of winter tires used from 2024-2033, at which the vehicle will be sold. |
