Hello there,

I am here because i have noticed my MG doesn't grip that well anymore however the tread does look fine. It maybe low however it doesn't look bald.

I have a few spares if i can identify what tyre is the culprit.


Thanks.
 
How old are the tires on your car and what type are they? Rubber loses its flexibility as it gets past a certain age, thus losing its gripping ability. Check the date code on the sidewalls. PJ
 
When they get hard they slip. Then they make good burnout tires.
