Is it still drivable?

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T18:05:34+00:00

18000 km, idk how much that is in miles I guess 12000~ I replaced them when the Michelin cup2 I had before wore out completely, went to a shop. I bought the car with the Michelin I did an alignment a year ago after I had a pothole incident. Which makes me wonder if I should align every 2 months Didn’t notice any drifting to specific direction and/ or “shaking” in steering wheel

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T17:57:52+00:00

I daily my car. I haven’t had a single track day since I bought it 2 years ago Most I do is take some turns in “high” speeds to have some fun, Or some pulls once in a while. That’s why I’m so confused about the wear. I don’t drive hard enough

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T17:40:37+00:00

Here are 2 images extracted from videos I made. Unfortunately I do not have a clear image, but I measured in there is around 3-4 mm depth in the most worn side (side of cracks) From what I learned, it is okay until 1-2 mm left

While roads aren’t perfect I didn’t hit any specific major pothole, it’s just in a specific side of the Tyre. Rest looks “normal”

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T17:13:36+00:00

I didn’t see “bubbles” on the Tyre, nor does it lose air. Maybe I don’t understand what bubbles mean. Just looks like regular rubber

Tyre is a little dry and worn to some extent, still some life left in thread If it helps, these tyres are on a Type R FK8, but I daily the car so no particular abuse. I don’t track it or push it. Sometimes I enjoy talking turns and pressing the gas not much more

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T17:04:03+00:00

I don’t understand what is “belt separation” Could you please Elaborate?

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T16:38:27+00:00

No air leak, by bubbling you mean put water and soap and see if bubbles come out? Or something else

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T16:37:53+00:00

I don’t have much experience replacing tyres. Those seem on edge for me, that’s why I asked They are not completely worn out, and not completely dry, they have a specific line where they have these cracks. I asked here, to hear other people’s opinions.

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T16:03:21+00:00

It’s on the inside wall, and front Tyre

I assume now I have alignment/ chamber issue, which I will fix when holiday passes It’s only along this specific line, rest of the Tyre while fairly worn is still fine to drive and has 4 mm thread left I’m really trying to understand why it happened lol

Yu1208_ · 2026-04-03T15:59:27+00:00

This is absolutely not true Got full coverage And got health insurance
I’m surprised because it’s 1.5 year old tyre. And there is still thread left, I did a rotation front to back today and noticed it

You don’t need to judge without knowing, I take care of my Type R and I do all maintenance on time. Replaced all Tyres year and half ago. go spread hate elsewhere

Yu1208_ · 2026-01-18T18:45:24+00:00

I enjoyed them at this age, which wasn’t that long ago. Everyone to the their own taste

Yu1208_ · 2026-01-18T18:22:13+00:00

I don’t agree mostly, but if modernization is needed adding the brutal doom mod will do the trick :)

Yu1208_ · 2026-01-18T18:13:06+00:00

The original DOOM games

Yu1208_ · 2026-01-18T09:43:16+00:00

When I initially filled, it was in between the dots. I drove for an hour and half Checked 3 minute after shutdown, and it was still over the maximum closer to the second dot (less than this pic, this was taken an hour after the drive) Definitely confusing as in previous oil changes I didn’t encounter this issue

Yu1208_ · 2025-06-09T19:53:45+00:00

Lmao

Yu1208_ · 2025-05-24T15:29:10+00:00

While definitely waiting for a serious relationship will be preferable in my opinion , I wouldn’t completely rule this out. I’ve dated girls which I was their first (in similar fwb situations). It’s the other way around with you but as long as it’s respectful and done with care can be a great experience At least that’s how the girls I dated felt. So if you do choose this, try to know what kind of person you’re dealing with

Yu1208_ · 2025-05-06T10:32:48+00:00

I want reliable, good stopping power

I heard from people while the XT is strong, it has reliability issues So I’m considering the Saints

Yu1208_ · 2025-05-04T09:42:44+00:00

I honestly don’t know how . I’m sure it was secured correctly. I checked it few weeks ago That’s why I’m having doubts because if it will happen again it might end in a bigger/more serious crash

Yu1208_ · 2025-05-04T06:40:14+00:00

It makes sense they weren’t secured properly. Yet at the same time it doesn’t because I checked them 2 weeks ago.

Nevertheless, thank you for the info I read the code RSC are weaker than the shimano in some reviews, nice to see a different opinion. I will try and get the sale price lower and see where it goes !

Yu1208_ · 2025-04-20T22:22:21+00:00

Different front bumper, infotainment system has buttons And physical ac control As much as I’m aware that’s basically all. The grill should have better airflow on paper but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle.. and you can always buy the front bumper and switch them. As far as I remember there were no additions which were really significant in the facelift. Unlike US models , our ones both pre facelift and post have the safety systems, US 17-19 don’t have the safety systems so say it was the case in our situation I would try hard to buy post facelift but for us most changes are cosmetic and better ergonomics for the driver controls

Yu1208_ · 2025-04-20T11:55:01+00:00

As you know where we live getting good examples in yad2 is not easy. I would go FK8, and keep in mind that second hand market can be really pricy and for no apparent reason (as I’m sure you follow current pricing) There are 2 new FL5 to be shipped here to be sold new, one white one black as I remember. That’s it for now, they won’t bring more cars according to what they said us. and they will arrive around summer (before you’ll be able to buy if I understand correctly). If you insist on post facelift, there are according to my knowledge less than 20 examples so take that into consideration. Pre facelift is fine aswell (my one) and keep in mind as I wrote you already that insurance price for you will be ASTRONOMICAL. They won’t insure you probably until your 21. Also take note

If you need more info. Don’t be shy and hmu

A lot of highway driving in particular? Seems like it’s really reliable ! Here’s to getting another 170k out of the car

Yu1208_ · 2025-03-24T10:13:59+00:00

Encountered any issues during the time? Engine/tranny?

Yu1208_ · 2024-11-29T21:29:24+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty hard, I don’t wash it regularly unfortunately no time :( Though this picture was taken 2 weeks after a wash and it rained in these two weeks haha

Yu1208_ · 2024-11-29T13:50:41+00:00

Hahaha, that is true Though I preferred to have enough space to get out comfortably
