Part-Worn Tyre
A part-worn tyre is a used tyre sold for further use, often cheaper but with an unknown history.
What is Part-Worn Tyre?
Some countries set rules for their sale, such as inspections and markings. Remaining tread may be much less than on a new tyre. Hidden damage from underinflation or impacts may not be visible. A new tyre is usually the safer choice for front wheels.
How it works
Its condition depends entirely on how it was used and stored before.
Why it matters for your car
Check the DOT date, tread depth and the inside of the tyre. Avoid tyres with repairs in the sidewall or shoulder.
