Tyres!

[Nicx]

Ive got a 53 reg 1.2 16v Dynamique Billabong. I will of had it a year on the 6th October. Its done just under 9k and the mpg has never gone below 42. I was just wondering how long the front tyres should last?



Cheers

Have a look at the tread? There are lot of variables with tyre wear like you drive, miles covered etc. Just have a look and a feel

I have heard that Contis are quite soft and where quickly.

There are wear indicators in the tread which represent the minimum legal limit

How do I find them? I cant see them.

Nicx..................if you turn the front wheels so that you can see the tread easily.......................then just look INTO the grooves and you will see small raised bits well below the tread....................these are the wear indicators and are dotted all round the tread every few inches.

Hope this makes sense.

So when they are the same height as the rest of the tread it time to get some new tyres?
