Hello! I am switching soon from my winter tyres to my summer ones on my tesla model y. Are these cracks/exfoliation normal or not? The tyres were on the front, they are hankook ventus s1 evo 3 ev and have only 3 years. Thank you.
So, how many miles of use in the 3 years?
Tread to low - for you and your passengers safety get some new ones and feel good 😎
Around 18000 miles
Those look like archeological artifacts. I’d replace them.
Those are ready for the bin 100%
They still have around 4 mm/ 5/32 inch
Those look like they've got 100k miles on them. Do not put them on
Only 18k. That s why i got so surprised when i saw them. Looks like hankook has some serious quality control problems .
At first I had no clue wtf I was looking at
have you looked on the date stamp, on the tire, some tirestores, will sell you old but unused tires, this seems like simply rubber gone old, you can see this on tires 5+ years old. Better quality brands, like Michelin / Continental i normally would say later, but i have seen people put 3-4 year old tires on cars in a new sale, so we always check the date stamp on the tire, it has a WEEK+YEAR..
Same. That tread separation happens on tires that are that worn.
0823. quality control really low apparently in hankook tires.
OP should learn how to take better pics. Tyres look may pops!
Is this the liberty bell?
For starters, cleaning the tires up with something like a pressure washer would help us better understand the condition. Also getting better pictures of the tires. Although from here they look exceptionally bad.
Right? Tires with some sort of weird wood next to them. Huh?
Those tires are worn out! Nevermind the cracks
Those tires are mad cooked
Before I read the post, I thought this was a concrete block wall.
Did you use some chemical to try and clean these tires before storage? They look god awful, as if something has been breaking down the rubber over a very long time. Also, what the hell is going on with the shape of the tire? It's not even round anymore (look at bottom right side on the last picture).
Yes it is normal for new drivers to wait too long to replace their tires.
Have they been sitting outside in the sun without being driven much? They need replacement for sure.
It actually looks as if the tire outfit returned old tires to you, and you're just now noticing. Were they shelved in a plastic bag that you didn't examine when you drove home?
How were these stored? This is brutal for 18k miles.
In plastic bags, in my garage , which is heated during the winter.
