Hi,
Finally got a tyre tread depth measuring devices off Amazon that seems to work. I have never really worried too much about tyres as for a long time I lived in London, drove not so great cars and of course the average speed is 10 mph. So just went with pretty cheap tyres as they didn't need to do much.
Now I am in Bucks, the roads are much more potholed, I have a Model 3 and a Peugeot 5008, and have more valuable cargo (wife and kids).
But would appreciate any help with what to do with tyres (on both cars!).
Both my cars were bought last summer but are 2021 regs - and just came with the tyres they came with. The M3 Hancook Evo 3s and the Peugeot has Dunlop Sportmaxx and then one Michelin on the rear Left. I think they are original tyres other than the Michelin.
So the M3 is: FL - 4.9, FR - 5.2, RL - 3.1, RR -3.2
The Peugeot is: FL - 5.2, FR - 2.6, RL - 2.5, RR - 4.9
So my questions are:
M3 - I have heard a lot about tyre rotating on forums - would it make sense to get the Rear M3 tyres put on the front and the front ones onto the rear? Or just at some point in the next year pop new tyres on the rear?
Peugeot - This is a weird one as the good ones are diagonal. Maybe put the two best tyres which are the FL and RR on the front and then get two new ones on the rear?
Thoughts very welcome.
