I would change at c 4mm on the insides - then you get the benefit of the rest of the life of the tyre in a better way.

I left mine too late (about 16k IIRC), and the front end handled like a pig when I changed at that mileage - cambers were entertaining to say the least!

Done 14k and mine seem to tramline a lot worse than previously. Guess will have to change soon...

Im considering changing my front tyres. It has go to the point when the front end seems to be sliding all over the place... Admittedly it has been when the roads have been damp...

Think they where new on when i purchased it in september, since then i have done about 9000k..


What is the best price that anyone has some stock Bridgestones tyres for? Its a 99 plate...

I think you need to change them now and replace them with these high quality, partly used ones.
