User questions & answers

Question:	What is the maximum millage for tire milestar ms932 sport all season radial tire - 205/50r17 93v
Answer:	You can't really go by that. Tires will wear down slower or faster depending on your driving style. That being said, I have put almost 20k on them and they still have some tread left. The tread is not down to the wear bars yet, but they are getting close. If you live somewhere that gets serious snowfall, spend a little more money because these tires, while good for overall performance, do not do well with anything more than a quarter inch of snow.
Question:	My old tires are 205/50 r17 michelin pilot sport 3+ can these tires compare
Answer:	They were purchased for my brother. I think Michelin tires last a longer time but you are certainly paying the price for them
Question:	Does it have warranty? I just noticed that one of my tires has a bubble. Thanks
Answer:	Sidewall bubbles are caused by two things and two things only; The first scenario is when the installer breaks the bead and air now fills up sidewall plies instead of staying inside of the tire. The second scenario is an impact while driving, like a curb, pothole, etc. Bubbles are not a manufacturing defect. Neither would be a situation covered by any manufacturer's warranty regardless of the brand.
Question:	Does anyone know how old the tires are even though they say New when we’re they made
Answer:	Mine say 3417 for the date code. That is the 34th week of 2017. Pretty much brand new tires.
