I’ve ridden motorcycles my whole life and I’ve figured out why it’s the rear tire that usually goes flat… It’s because that’s the hardest one to change.😁

[@wolfschindler8921]

No, it's because the front tire picks up the nail and the rear tire drives into it.

[@TheScrubmuffin69]

What no it's because it's the one with more weight on it. Also the rear lasts longer than the front as well so its usually older

[@wolfschindler8921]

@@TheScrubmuffin69 The opposite is correct.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Front tire on motorcycles wear slower rear tire faster usually because its heavy and its under power. Motorcycle tires are often a softer rubber recipe so they wear out significantly faster. You migjt replace a rear tire and keep the front for a while longer but like i saod they wear faster so its also common for them to wear unusually and you will get death wobble if you let go of your handlebars or at high speeds itll be a magnified effect so uts not bad to habe tk put new tires on a motorcycle more often because its two wheels its smart to pay attention and just mever let the tire get old rubber hardens as it gets old it rots, not worth it on a motorcycle. So its not a bad idea to replace both tires at the same time

[@moushunter]

We've come a long way with tires. I worked at a garage when I was a teen in the 70s and we'd sell new tires to customers every 15-20K miles. We sold quality tires at premium prices. The cheap tires sold at the stores that also sold clothes and appliances rarely lasted 15K miles. Those are pre-radial tire days. We'd also put snow tires on our cars for 6 months of the year and normal bias ply tires the other 6 months. Few people were able to get 100K miles on their cars back then too. The last tires I replaced had 80K miles on them.

[@ditzydoo4378]

much like when my brother and I were returning from Oregon with a late model Chevy Silverado. It was winter and snowing and we left Grants Pass, by the time we were passed Corning California. One would think the axels were falling off. Turned out the tires even though they looked new, were in fact so old that when the hardened rubber came up to full temp, the tread was delaminating from the tire carcass. It was terrifying. We ended up limping the truck along I-5's shoulder at a blistering 25 MPH until we made it to Willow and Salvini's Tire and Auto. best group of gentlemen one could ever hope to meet. So, 4- super good Skin's (used tires) later and we were off to home. Lesson learned, always check the code date on your tires.

[@dennyj8650]

Exactly! My 2018 dated Goodyear p235/75/15 tires had lots of tread and the sidewalls looked fine! But a local mechanic looked at the tread, it had the cracks between the treads and he warned me I could get a blowout. Just replaced all 5 with the exact same make, and the brand new tires have the same amount of tread as the 6 year old ones. So they're not putting the depth of tread on as they did 6 years ago!

I’ve heard you said before that it’s not necessary to rotate tires on a front wheel drive car. I’ve learned a hard way that by not rotating the tires on a front wheel drive your rear tires just by being in the back of the vehicle and never used for traction get warped,a noise that gets louder the faster, sounding like wheel bearing going bad. Always rotate the tires on a front wheel drive every 10,000 miles.

[@TheCriticalStinker-jw4fl]

You are correct. Not rotating tires on a FWD absolutely will result in uneven wear and _noise_ from the rear tires. That is what happened to Scotty hear and he misdiagnosed it as cracking (which is normal).

[@alanjameson8664]

Having grown up before radial tires, they always look low to me. I have regularly used Michelin tires and have never had any problems with them. We don't drive much any more, so they get to the point of developing cracks from age while they still have enough tread; the tire shop pointed this out to me, and I bought a new full set. Money well spent.

[@pamparker4047]

I’m agree with you

[@TheScrubmuffin69]

Damn they upsold you so well😂

[@SmileyDave-h5z]

they sold you new tires and sold your old tires to a used tire store down the street. Cracks are a sign the tires are aging but not a sign that they are actually bad. The inside of the tire has a bladder or inner tube like lining and that isn't subjected to sunlight or the elements and doesn't crack. Small little cracks on the tread are okay. Deep cracks in the sidewall are a no go.

[@AB-kd9mk]

I had a Michelin completely delaminate on the front right causing me to go off the road and down an embankment totaling the car. Everyone acts like Michelin is perfect. Not.

[@thomasdarby6084]

One thing you need to do, Scotty, in any video about tires, is to educate people on how to read the import date of manufacture codes, the size and load range, etc. These are obscure to most people. An old tire that sits unused for long periods but has good tread may fail due to cracking like you pointed out on the Matrix. I always changed my tires out every three to four years, whether they showed decent remaining tread or not.

Tires should last 10 years, even longer if the car is garaged. But it's important to inspect them regularly, keep the tires inflated properly and rotate them regularly.

[@georgesbv1]

problem is if you start using them with 3-4 years of aging.

I have Bridgestone Turanza tires on my Sebring. I've had them on for 4 years now, and they still have so much tread. All I've done is follow the rotation schedule and do alignment every 6 months. Firestone lifetime alignment is the best. Shame they'll have to be replaced soon! Great tires. I'll get them again for sure.

Yes the MEZ4 and Z6 and even the old ME88 bias. I used them for a long time but now he's made me concerned about the Metzeler quality. They used to be the best out there and always had perfect balance after mounting. They had both traction and longevity. I like to use F32/R36 in my FZ and F37/R41 in my K bike. YMMV I would like to know more about the tire he showed that the cord came out on. I trust him that the pressure was set correctly but the cords don't just pop out of the tire unless it is extremely worn. Something else was going on there.

Bad tires, three years old with still good tread, caused front end alignment problems on my 2010 Corolla. My shop replaced the front ball joints, aligned the car, drove and said it still pulled hard to the left. They showed me the cracks in the tires, apparently the tires were failing structurely. I had all four tires replaced with new much higher quality name brand tires. The car now drives perfectly and rides better. Lesson learned, unless budget tires are all you can afford for your car it may be wise to spend more money for higher quality tires. For safety's sake.

[@mikewhitfield2994]

Forty-five or so years ago my grandmother asked me to look at her car because it had a bad vibration. Before driving the car I looked at the tires - almost new Firestones - and to my horror the tires had bulges the size of baseballs. Turns out that Firestone had changed their manufacturing process and the belts were separating, allowing the inner surface to bulge out through the belts.

However they were unaware at the Ford house that Wix manufactures Motorcraft filters.

[@Ghost_Os]

PSA; Everyone here probably knows this, but just in case... The "maximum PSI" listed on the side of the tire is *not* what it's supposed to be inflated to. I still see people (of all ages) making this mistake. There's a sticker on either the edge of the driver door or the edge of the driver door frame, that will tell you what your tires should be inflated to for optimal performance. It tells you both front and back pressures (some cars are different from front to back).

[@SmileyDave-h5z]

This is wrong, the tag inside the car door is for the original tires sold with the car. I put load range E rated tires on my truck the sidewall says 80psi max. I bought them at Walmart and they used the driver door psi rating and wouldn't put any more air in them they only put 38 psi, what it said on my door pillar, the tires were flat rolling out of the garage. I checked them with a gauge and told them they were low the punk kids that worked there told me it was right, you could see the tires bulging. Their manager wasn't there that day but they said I was wrong. I worked a tire service truck for 2 yrs and changed tires on semis and front end loaders and everything else but they knew better than me working at Walmart. I had to limp the truck over to a gas station to fill them all the way up so I could drive home. I put LT (light truck) style tires on my moms sedan, the ride is slightly harsher(you don't really notice it) but they have heavier tread and harder rubber to last longer. The max psi on the LT tires is 50 psi, her car tag says 32 psi which is listed for the original equipment tires the car sold with. You always go by what the tire manufacturer put on the side of the tire. Rarely do people stay with the original brand and style of tires their car came with. You don't have to use the max psi but I would stay pretty close to that.

[@TzNuts]

@SmileyDave-h5z you are correct my friend its for the original manufacturer tires

[@KOS762]

Good point. I have tires that say max inflate to 40 psi, but my door says the front are 32 psi and the rear are 34 psi. When I bought the truck the tires were all at 40 psi. It drove down the road like a brick, like that. Now you can hardly feel the bumps, with the right PSI. We used to pump our tires up to 60-80 PSI, when we would drift on the tracks, but that is different. The track is designed for crashing cars, and it is expected, pushing the limit of your car.

[@TheSupernaturalWolf41]

I remember the Ford/Firestone nightmare. Ford said 26(?) pounds, and when people started dying, they tried to put the blame on Firestone. 26 POUNDS!!!???
