    Tires starting to crack

    I won't buy used and I usually buy from Discount Tire for all the freebies, including rotations and balancing although they don't always do a good job

    Tires starting to crack

    I only have 50,000 miles on my Mazda and financially I need to keep this car for a while so I don't want to go super cheap on the tires. The Falkens are around $119/tire not on sale, the Continentals though are $140 not on sale.

    Tires starting to crack

    I currently have Continentals, they ride better than the Michelins and Pirelli's I had before and don't tramline on the freeway like the others. I have been waiting for a Coupon on Continentals, also considering Falken.

    Tires starting to crack

    While waiting for a sale I decided to go to Discount Tire and get a free rotation to see what they say. They told me everything was fine with the tires.

    Open door light keeps coming on

    I had my service place lube the door and the problem hasn't come back so far, at least until the next time I need to open the rear door.

    Tires starting to crack

    Can't cover the tires but it took over 6 years for the issue to show up which isn't bad. I check my tires pressure often, keep it on the 36 recommended and I've never seen it go above that, they lose about 2 lbs over a few months

    Tires starting to crack

    I've been doing that as well. Even then it depends on the car as well. A 2013 Mazda 3 isn't going to have a smooth ride no matter what tire I put on, but I still like to read reviews

    Tires starting to crack

    I just got back from Discount Tire, the guy said there is still some tread life left and that they recommend changing tires after 6 years but that they don't look that bad and I have time. I bought them 6 1/2 years ago so I am going to wait for a sale and research which tires would be best. I...

    Tires starting to crack

    Apparently the tread left is OK, not sure exactly how much remaining but the cracking and age was the reason they gave for replacing

    Tires starting to crack

    I drive almost all City driving now, and they reduced the speed limits recently so I am taking it easy on them.

    Tires starting to crack

    This is the picture I was sent about the tires. I guess it has some tiny cracks on the sidewall, but when I look at them up close I see nothing

    Tires starting to crack

    This was a general service shop that I always go to. What I could do is go to Discount Tire for a free tire rotation and see if they say anything, but I do trust my shop and they don't sell tires so they really have no reason to tell me they are cracking.

    Tires starting to crack

    I checked them this morning. Yeah, the car always had a rough ride so I'm not looking to spend any money if I don't have to. Frankly I think the tires may do more than new struts.

    Tires starting to crack

    I find the car rides best at slightly over 36psi, around 37. The lower psi makes me feel the bumps even more

    Tires starting to crack

    I like my Continentals because they don't get caught in freeway grooves like some other tires I've tried, and I was wrong about the availability Discount Tire does have these Continentals so I may just go with them. I don't see any cracks myself but I assume if they said they wouldn't rotate...

    Tires starting to crack

    Funny, I looked at the tires and see no cracking but it could be on the other side of the tire. The tire pressure is always at 36, but they overfilled it to 40 so I took some air out. Tires will only do so much for ride comfort when the car had a rough ride to begin with and the struts and...
