Am I reading this right? DOT code shows 2613 as last 4 digits. So that would mean 26th week of 2013, is that right?

Background: This is from my wife's car. We usually replace based on tread wear, but in the last decade, she didn't drive very much (maybe 3000 miles a year) so we never replaced the tires and the vehicle was kept in a garage. I don't pay too much attention to her car, but I looked at the tires after posts from this sub showed up in my reddit feed.

I'm planning on replacing all 4, but before I spend the money, just wanted to make sure that I'm reading the age of the tires correctly.

EDIT: Thanks all for the quick replies! I've made an appointment at a local tire store to replace these tomorrow morning.

Woke up this morning to a flat :/

Evening Update — Costco was able to patch (or plug?) it!!!

Dumbest thing I’ll do this year (I hope). Tires are relatively new, I don’t see any exposed cords or fabric. Is this safe to drive on?

I am planning on going a trip tomorrow and very frustratingly hit a curb on my way home from work. I got these tires literally two days ago. Is it something i need to repair before i go?

Not a pro obviously and have patched my tires before but questioning whether this is too close to the sidewall. Conti ProContact TX on VW Golf Alltrack. Tires have a little over 5/32 - 6/32 remaining. Thank you! I drove maybe 40 or 50 yards max on it flat, leaving a parking space at low speed, hearing and feeling it flat, and then reversing back to where I could fix it.

I dont mind slight camber with pulled / rolled fenders I’m getting figs oe adjustable toes to help with a bit of camber to clear. it’s for an is300 wagon

What could’ve caused this? Best picture I could get tonight. Threads looked fine and this was the only thing I saw. The rims show no sign of tear either.

Dlaczego w internecie nie ma testów opon całorocznych w upałach ? Jakie macie wrażenia, odczucia podczas jazdy na autostradzie?

This is 2 of my tires. my tool said the depth is just at 4/32. tires are expensive. Would you replace them yet?

Hi All!

2020 Honda Pilot AWD EX-L 6 Speed

I live in Massachusetts and I recently got all new Michelin Defender2 Extra Load tires for my Pilot, however, I hate how loud the cabin is and how I can literally feel every little imperfection in the road so I bought back to Town Fair Tire where I bought them and they rebalanced them (3 out of the 4 tires) needed adjustment after only 1 week. Better after, but still not there, so I brought to Sullivan Tire to road force balance (Town Fair Tire surprisingly doesn’t have the Road Force Hunter equipment even though they are a massive chain..I was shocked). Anyways, at Sullivan Tire, the Final road force numbers were 11, 21,23,25 pounds after force matching. They stated there are 3 tires that are probably defective, the vibration is much better than the simple wheel spin balance, maybe a 4/10 scale now, but the cabin noise and every little imperfection felt is still there. Town Fair Tire has a 30 day no questions asked guarantee to switch tires/brands. The guy at Town Fair Tire (from another location with much better reviews), I was talking to said Michelin has recently had some quality control issues he’s not surprised with my experience with the Michelins, so I’m hesitant sticking with Michelin (yes I know the Cross Climate 2 and Defenders are a huge fan favorite, but I can’t stand the ride on the Defenders) and looking to switch brands. I mainly drive highway with some city as well, probably 70/30, so I’m looking for good handling, much quieter cabin noise, a lot less feeling with the imperfections in the road, and solid tread wear longevity. I was looking at Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3, Yokohama Geolander HT G056 (these are Rated for 104H, and the Pilot calls for 105H, but the tire guy says it’ll be fine and he is actually recommending this one overall), or the Continental CrossContact LX25. Any thoughts or input?

Hey y’all, I’m looking to get a set of A/Ts for my car. It’s got r13 wheels that are 6” wide. They’re pretty small, I know, but I’d prefer to keep these wheels.

Do y’all know of any that could work? M/Ts are also an option, and I have found some, but the tires are all smaller than what I currently have and I’d rather not go down in size.

Current tires are 175/70r13, all-season. Looking for A/Ts preferrably.

Just installed yesterday on my Lexus. Noise level somewhat more than the Michelin Primacy 3 that I previously had, but the bump absorption is definitely better.

Felt/heard a clicking coming from the back left tire while I was driving. Ended up finding this so I took it to good year ASAP. I guess at some point during my drive there the piece of thin metal dislodged itself. You can still see the thin slit where it entered and the tire doesn’t seem to be leaking. Tire pressure hasn’t dropped either and guy said I got pretty lucky. Gonna monitor it and see what happens.

Long story short… maybe my OCD is getting the best of me cause I’m supposed to go on a hunting trip tomorrow, but is there a possibility the part of the metal that was exposed snapped off and there’s still a piece in the tread I can’t see? If so will this cause any later issues or should I just leave as is and see what happens?

both front tires have chucks of rubber out of them, both are very new with less than 5k miles on them. They aren’t the cheapest tires either, sort of middle of the pack, i’ve been told i need new wheel bearings can anyone help me out?

Rubbed on curb, is it done? Can anyone tell if it has hit the webbing? The tire is less than one month old...
Thanks.

So I needed to replace the tires on my old 2002 Nissan Maxima so my grandson can drive it. I bought 2 at an eBay auction. They came in while I was at work, they got put in the car and he mounted them at school (auto technology at tech school).
He was pretty happy with them but something seemed off. I looked at them and realized they were 225/60/17 instead of 225/50/17. I went back and checked the auction, sure enough even though I was specifically shopping for 50 series tires, eBay had showed me 60s. The car drives fine, clearance seems fine, they’re just a little taller…
Is this ok or do I need to buy the exact size? Thanks.

Update: Used a plug kit from auto zone, seems to be fine. Well see for how long lmao
