Yup! I noticed the low thread of my tires today. I am going to need new tires in a month or two.
If only tire prices weren't expensive, I would buy them now.
What happened to the penny test?
This male journalist is gorgeous
"We want to make sure his head is being cut off" 😨
Do you don't need a penny to see that your tires are warned Pretty obvious actually
They make the poor reporter stand outside in the wet and cold just for a demonstration that could have been easily done inside the studio.
Hey I have question, which one of these tires have thinner wall, Kumho Crugen premium KL33 105T or Kumho Crugen HP71 105T and how can you tell?
Dude no mention of DRY ROT? That is just as important!
The 4 number date on tires is the date made…the second 2 numbers is the year
.make sure they are not over 10 years sin e made……2618…2018 would be the year the 26 is what week of that year they were made. I blew a rear tire on my dodge dually tore off finder,bent exhaust completely backwards and almost flipped pulling a trailer at 75mph
Well…it dont matter if you can stick a silver dollar in there if the date is past 10 years…check the date on your tires. I had tires with full tread fail because they were made 11 years prior…
salut tout le monde
As a mechanic In the U.K. I always tell people new tyres are cheaper than a funeral
You can literally see it you don’t need a damn coin
Big Bang theory… Georgie Tyres…
Not everyone got the money to get new tires 🤦ðŸÂ½â€Â♂︠don’t y’all think of that too or you guys don’t have a brain
i would say for the normal average car driver probably every 50 to 60K. All depends on the tire brand you chose to get. If you go on bumpy roads or mountains then its probably a lot less. And if your tire starts to lose tire pressure often then its time to change it out whenever you possibly can.
see head….bad tread……I just made that up!……lol
50,000 miles is too long to wait. Most tires on new cars can’t last more then 40,000 miles

Answer at 2:45
Swear Americans don’t go through EVERYTHING in a driving lesson or test, in the uk tire tread depth is so important that if you see it balding the slightest, you get it changed or your car will be illegal to drive and you’ll get a ban for driving that vehicle
Me driving:
Snow: hey you wanna drift

Why does it seem like everyone on this show is unnaturally optimistic and happy? I guess I'm just too cynical. But again, they may be fakes, or they may love their jobs because they're no doubt making tons on money!
Great video ðŸ‘Â
ALSO make sure your tiers are under 6 years, The tier starts to dry out and brake down even with perfect tread. You can tell this by the last numbers on your tire exp. 4018, Means it was made in the 40th week of 2018. when you buy new tires make sure they were made in the last year for sure.
If you know that a HUGE STORM is coming to you…STAY HOME!!
New tires are fucking expensive though. Some people cant fucking afford it so they just say "Fuck it" and keep driving on the same tires
