Couldn't see any obvious dry rot.

You have a green valve stem caps, which usually means you have Nitrogen gas in the tire - please don't bother putting any in your next set as it really is a waste of time, money, effort.

Many people believe some of the stories - just Google and you'll find many non-technical sites that expound the loose benefits - while most technical sites and tire manufacturers (such as Goodrich for one) don't prefer air or Nitrogen.

Here's a good read from AAA to help save you money and steer clear of the latest hype...

We get tires from Costco and nitrogen is what they use. I'm not a stickler for the nitrogen if I need air however.

Thanks

That does look like the beginning of it.

As expensive as tires are, as long as you're not near the wear bars yet, and the entire profile looks goodt; with 5-6/32 nds I'd keep using them for another while. Especially if you don't drive a lot and don't need to go out in inclement weather with high frequency.

Is the vehicle parked outside and in the sun all the time?

You've touched on some other points I didn't mention and yes, parked outside rain or shine.

1 - Daughters vehicle so a little more concerned.
2 - Drives 70 miles per day round trip for work which I would consider substantial.
3 - In NJ so weather can be an issue during winter months.

Thanks

If the tires are still good today and you replaced them now, ahead of when is necessary, how would you feel if the car were written off in an accident a month from now?

Something to consider, thanks
