Am I safe to drive this?
I bought a car three days ago. I’m gonna change all wheels and tires, but I need at least until next month. Will this hold up or is this probably gonna blow out?

I hit a curb this morning which I'm really disappointed in myself about. Do I need a new tyre? TIA

When I got my winter tires put on my car the dealer said they would recommend I buy new summer tires when the time comes. I am looking for any advice if these are actually to worn or if the dealer is trying to upsell me. Let me know if I didn't photograph the correct parts to tell! They are the stock Toyo tires, 19inches that came with my Mazda cx5, in case that is important.
Thanks for your help!!

The tires are barely ridden on a few meters. They were brought brand spanking new for a project many many years ago and stored inside the garage since they were never used. I was going to move them to a different project and bike now, but noticed these cracks. Are they just trash now?
They are going on a 2016 Golf R. I've had great luck with Kumho winter tires and Kumho tires on Semi-trucks. I know Momo makes great aftermarket parts but I've never seen their tires before

Just discovered this nail in my tire (thanks to Corwin Toyota in Boulder for the half-a***d inspection btw)

So I only need a set of tires for this summer, before I sell my car at the end of summer. The ones I have at the moment are done, should I buy these for 200$, are they safe enough for a few months?

Hit curb and chipped my rims. took a small chunk of the tire out.. ran the car a few laps in my neighborhood and checked air pressure which hasn’t dropped at all. Would i be safe getting new tires and using the same rim or is the damage too significant that I should use my spare rim ?

Hey all, please forgive what is probably an old man question, but maybe you can help me out -
I have a brand-new Mazda CX-50 with less than 100 miles on it and am replacing the stock OEM tires with my favorite set of Michelin all-weathers, but I have no idea about where/how to sell the stock ones. And no idea if they fetch enough to even be worth selling in the first place.
Not looking to get maximum dollar value but if I can get something for them and maybe help someone else on a tight tire budget in the process, all the better. If too worthless or too much trouble I might instead find a place to donate.
Thanks!

2021 Polestar 2 with Performance Package (476hp / 502Lb-ft torque)
Tire Size: 245/40r20, previously had OEM Continental SportContact 6 with acoustic foam
My wife wanted a tire that was more comfortable, quieter, and had more treadwear than the OEM summer tires. Meanwhile, I wanted a tire that still felt fun. I tend to lean towards summer tires and performance oriented all-season tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4.
So far, we're really happy with these tires.
Even though there's no acoustic foam like on our OEM tires, they're quieter. They're practically silent up to 50mph but there's a slight hum at freeway speeds. They're not as loud as the OEM Continentals.
They're also much more comfortable than the OEM summer tires. With the Ohlins suspension and OEM Continentals, the Polestar 2 was surprisingly jarring over small bumps on the road. One thing that I noticed was that the Nokian sidewalls seem to be pretty soft/flexible. The tires also have "Aramid technology" in the sidewalls that supposedly helps with durability while maintaining flexibility. The sidewalls do seem to be pretty flat with the wheel, so we'll need to be careful when parallel parking.
Treadlife should be solid. I measured the tread depth at .323 inches on each tire, or a little more than 10/32". There's a 55K warranty which is best in class for the UHP All-Season category.
Handling/Performance feels like 85% of the OEM tires, but that's to be expected given that I'm comparing summer tires to all-season tires. They do feel softer and more vague than the Michelin UHP all-season tires on my other car, but I can still take 360 degree off-ramps at 60mph.
All in all, these aren't track tires. Nor are they the sportiest tires in the UHP All-Season class. But they're a super practical choice for a wide range of coupes and sedans - they should wear well, they're comfortable, and provide enough grip to have fun. IMO, they seem to straddle the good qualities of touring tires (comfortable, long lasting, quiet, low rolling resistance) with UHP all-seasons (performance).
If you want 10% more performance but are willing to sacrifice 10% in comfort and treadwear, go with the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4's.
Otherwise, the Nokian Surpass AS01's are really solid option in the category. They have the highest mileage warranty, a 1-year sidewall/pothole warranty, and they're priced pretty well.

Do smart cars automatically detect a screw or nail in the tire???
Are really tire shine products bad for the tires? I’ve heard that they make the tire dry rot faster or stuff like that. But I’ve heard multiple opinions on that topic, so I’m not sure if it’s true or not, or if it depends on the product itself.
I personally love the look of the deep black shine tire shine gives.
