How many miles are left on these tires?

e90ca · 09-26-2013, 09:57 PM

Can anyone tell me approximately how many miles I can use these tires for?

I ordered a new set if tires and should get them tomorrow. But I was wondering if these can be used as a spare. This is the front left tire. The front right tire looks the same.

Thanks in advance!

How far below the tire surface are the treadwear indicators?

It's similar height to the pic I attached.

I'll try to measure it tomorrow.

PLENTY of tread on those!

Depends if those are All Seasons or Summers, and how aggressive you drive.

They are 235/35/19 nexen n3000 all season tires. I don't drive aggressive at all. Bought new tires because the rears are almost bald for this staggered setup.

you have about 211.68 miles left

Lol they look very meaty, should last fine for another year imo

E90_831 · 09-27-2013, 01:26 AM

all depends on how you drive buddy, looks like plenty of thread remaining.

e90ca · 09-27-2013, 01:37 AM

Thanks for all the replies! I added a few more pics to hopefully see the tread better.

These front tires have almost 34k miles on them and I can't believe they still have this much tread left. I'll ask the shop to save these tires for me so I can have them as spares in case I really need them.

BigFoig · 09-27-2013, 05:37 AM

Theres a lot left

N54Twin · 09-27-2013, 06:16 AM

Those are good, compare to my tires

CombatNinja · 09-27-2013, 06:28 AM

Those have at least 10,000 miles left.

Wow up to 10k miles to go for these?

That's at least another 6 months for me.

Mardio · 09-28-2013, 05:29 PM

Those tires are in good shape.

mike3000fl · 09-28-2013, 05:33 PM

send them to me

VMRWheels · 10-01-2013, 02:32 PM

Those look like they have quite a bit of life left!

e90ca · 10-02-2013, 02:59 AM

what I could've done was to get new nexen rear tires and still use the fronts for a while. But the only thing I couldn't stand about these tires was the road noise. they are super loud. but the grip is actually pretty good and they work well when wet. I never had any issues with these tires. I'll be putting on my new set of tires this week.
