The Bridgestone tyres that came with the car have run 82,000 km and can still go approximately 20,000 km more. Should I continue using them or get new tyres? If yes, which brand would you recommend in today’s scenario?

It seems like you’ve really looked after your tyres and have aligned and balanced them regularly, thereby increasing their lifespan significantly. However, with age, rubber becomes brittle and can develop minor cracks. This not only impacts performance but also increases the risk of punctures—or worse, a tyre blowout. Hence, it is recommended that tyres be replaced every five to six years.

There are several brands in the market that cater to different budgets and purposes, such as long life, grip, and more. To make an informed decision, you can refer to our guide on how to choose the right tyre for your car. Alternatively, you could consider replacing your existing tyres with the same brand, since they’ve served you well.
