Just changed two of my front tyres as the thread on them has worn out. When you feel insecure going over a pool of water or you dare not step on the accelerator during rainy days, you should consider changing your tyres. How about something not so baseless? You can do a check on your tyres to be sure how safe you are on the road.

You do no need to jack up your car, no tools required. Just take a look at your tyres thread for the symptoms below

You can clearly see the threads, the patterns are a level up from the base.  Small pebbles are still able to get stuck in between :-p

The difference of the level between the threads and the base is relatively small.

The most important determinant is the square boxes selected in red, they will appear then the thread left is 30% of the original only.

I’m using a 15″ rims. While it does give a more comfortable ride, a more stable cornering, the price of the tyres are quite high too.

While an original tyres from 13″ to 14″ takes around RM 100 a piece.

A 15″ tyres starts from RM 150 and a 16″ will definately be more than RM200.

Different brands or imported ones are slightly expensive for sure.
