Tire Change Time
Hello, Quick question. A Steel belt / wire mesh is starting to appear on my tires. Do I change the tires before the season ends or right after it starts? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you change them now.
 I had the same **** happen to my tires and I've read you should change them.

Honestly of you are showing metal, a couple hundred miles ago is when you should have changed them.
Once the cord shows, there ain't much left before you get to air.

Letting a tire get to that point is dangerous. Even getting down to the wearbars is too far for adequate safety. |
