4 Tyres uneven.

[911fan]

Folks,

My tyre condition on 997 as follows, and I would like to know what you think I need to do:

All Michelin Pilot Sport.

2 fronts have 3mm, but mini-cracks on sides of road-face, should they be replaced?
Passenger side rear has 7mm ( only replaced it 3 months ago, is the reduction from 8mm healthy or something wrong somewhere?)
Driver side rear has 2mm left, should it be replaced?

You should have replaced both rears together !!

Sidkicks, really, how come? I had a nail in it, but didn't think to get both done.

Personally, I would change all four and keep the least worn rear as a spare at home in case you get another nail in one of the new rears.

Lots of places are doing 4 for the price of three type offers on Michelins.

cheers pp, i think i'll get that done today, which places ( ATS or non-chain? ) do that offer plse?

[Pickled Piper]

ATS Euromaster were doing a special offer on Michelins. Costco is also very good. I am told Micheldever tyres are good.

Phone around get your best price then get your local tyre place to price match.

Yep - change them. You've got 5mm difference across the rear tyres? That's not ideal - think about it - the circumference is going to be about 3cm out. Differential and rotational matters aside, in an ideal world you want to change both the tyres on the same axle at the same time but especially so if the remaining tyre is quite well worn - when the difference is at its greatest.

I just had 2 PS2 N2's of 295/30/ZR18 fitted to my GT3 at National Tyres Stafford for £415 all in. I thought that was a good price, and they spent over and hour and were very careful with the wheels.
