This is a place to have your tires checked visually for reliability and safe usage. This sub does not guarantee actual usage of any tire as only a repair facility or repair staff member can make that type of determination in person. Alignment issues can also be sought here.
Tire wear issues, punctures, rubber breaks, and inflation questions can all be asked.

Thanks in advance!!

Just bought this car and hit something on the high way this is the little dent to the rim. Do I have to replace or can it be bent straight? Or does it need anything?

Tire replacement sizing
I just have a question about tire fitment and I hope this is the best place to ask.
I’m looking at replacing the tires on my truck and currently have 275/65R18’s on all 4 of my wheels. My wheels are 8” wide. Im considering buying a set of 275/70R18’s. All the research I’ve done says the tires should fit without issue, but the sites that check fit on a vehicle keep saying they won’t fit? Am I stupid, or is it the size checker who’s wrong?

Struts or bad rotors? Something else?
I'm wondering if I have bad struts in the front of my car or possibly bad rotors? It normally will shakes if I really get on the brakes at 70-75 mph on the interstate. Most of my driving is done locally under 45-50mph. The car has around 110k miles on it

I found this spot on my sidewall. Tire still holds air. Was planning to replace tire in August, should I replace sooner?

Repaired tire, should i leave the glue residue blob or cut it even? I assume its fine leaving, but does it make a difference

200TW Bridgestone RE71-Rs summer tires. Manufactured in 2019, but stored outdoors. Worth replacing?

Do you guys think this is alright or a replacement would be needed ? Going on a camping trip soon and will be driving up the mountains a little so just want to be safe.

Ride or die? More photos in the post body.
Hey guys,
Came across this community after noticing my tires looking a little funky. My wife and I are having a debate on whether or not to buy new ones. How do you guys think the outer wear on the tire is looking?
Got new brakes done about a month ago and the garage wizards didn't mention anything.

Dry rot on 3 year old tires...how?
Hi everyone,
Just replaced these dry rotted tires I bought less than 2 years ago. They were properly inflated and pressure monitored biweekly. No aggressive driving other than some quick stints on the backroads. Thread depth is at 80% life with perfectly even wear, and no abnormal dry rot on the inner sidewalll at all.
Anyone have any idea how they could have gotten so bad so quickly?
Thanks!
