The moment I saw it there were two things to do: brake or accelerate 
fast. I chose accelerate (there were cars behind me). But we did not 
know how to warn the driver or what to do otherwise, we were taken aback.

That sounds like a retread de-laminating.  Sometimes the entire tread
will peel off in one piece - I see them lying beside the road sometimes.
Or they'll break up bit by bit, throwing chunks several inches long in
every direction.  One night I found myself behind a truck where this was
happening.  It was raining heavily, making for a surreal sight: steaming
chunks of rubber flying everywhere before coming to rest on the road.

The resulting debris is referred to as an 'alligator' here.

https://www.sttc.com/where-do-road-alligators-come-from/

The site might be biased since they're retreaders. I don't know if it was 
legislation or economics but there used to be retreaded passenger car 
tires but for big trucks retreads are widely used , usually on the 
trailers. 

Theoretically you're supposed to check the inflation daily but with 18 
tires the common practice is to 'thump' them. A 6-cell Maglite is good for 
that. The correct inflation is 100-110 psi but a tire down to 60 psi still 
sounds the same. It has to be really low before you get sort of a dead 
sound.

I haven't driven in 30 years so I don't know if TPMS are common now. 
They're certainly available

https://www.noregon.com/commercial-tire-pressure-monitoring-systems/

Even in the '90s a new 22.5 tire ran about $275 so getting the most life 
out of them made sense.

I forgot about retreading. Yes, it was a thing for passenger cars in 
1950..1980 in Spain (guessing the range).

My current car has pressure sensors on the 4 wheels. I can read the 
values in the dash display. I think the sensor is in the valve, with a 
battery and a radio.

Two weeks ago I was driving a courtesy car while my car was in the 
garage: same type of car, an Opel Corsa, but newer. It doesn't measure 
the pressure; instead it alerts you of low pressure. It actually 
activated one night, and I had to go to a station to fill air. The meter 
there said 1.8 or 1.9 Kg/cm². Minimum rated was 2.2, max close to 3. So 
I inflated to 2.5, same as my car.

Once inflated, you press a button to reset the sensors. I prefer the 
system in my car.

I think some system of the sort is currently  mandatory in the EU.

Yes. My car reports low pressure by turning on a light, but not the 
pressure in each tire. The wheels with the studded tires don't have 
sensors so the light is on during the winter.

When you bought new tires there was always a charge for new valve stems 
that I thought was a bit of a scam. The first time I bought tires for a 
car with sensors I thought they wouldn't charge for new stems. No, they 
charged for 'rebuilding' the sensors. I think you can replace the battery 
in some, but not all, models so it still smells like a scam.

I still have not changed the rubbers on my current car. It has nearly 
90000 Km, and I usually get around 95000 Km out of them. So I will find 
that out soon. Within a year, probably.

The OEM tires on the 2018 are doing better but on previous models Toyota 
was playing the fleet mileage game by using low rolling resistance tires. 
They are also low on tread life. They were shot at about 30000 km on a 
lightweight subcompact.

Yes, I know. I have done it three times :-)

I just switch the front wheels to the rear, and the rear to the front, 
at about 30000 Km, ⅓ of life. The front wheels get more worn out than 
the rear, so I have to do that trick so that the four do last. The 
mechanic doesn't like it, but I know my way of driving :-)

The current mechanic doubted and checked the date of the rubbers. He 
said you do not want the rubber to crystallize and develop little 
cracks. But he checked and they were Ok.

The Toyota maintenance schedule is to rotate the tires every 5000 miles. 
When I switch to studs in the winter I mark the LF, LR, RF, and RR tires 
and in the spring put the LF on the LR etc and call it good enough. I 
still don't get 90k km.

90,000 km is only a little over 55,000 miles. I got 85,000 miles from
the factory stock tires on my car, and I replaced those with tires that
had an 80,000 mile warranty. I'm almost certain I'll be selling that car
long before I can wear out the current set.

On my pickup, I replaced the factory tires at 26,000 miles, but I
replaced them because they were 10 years old, not because the tread was
worn.

Some rubber last long. This is an Opel Corsa with the factory 
Continental rubbers.

The original rear tire on my Sportster lasted close to 20,000 miles. It 
was a Dunlop tire often referred to by Sportster riders as Dunrocks. Great 
tread life, not so great traction. I replaced them with Bridgestone 
Spitfires. I only got 8,000 miles on the rear but the miles were more 
fun :)

In the US manufacturers game the EPA fleet mileage requirements by 
installing low rolling resistance tires. You can get LRR tires with 
compounds that increase tire life but they cost more. The Yaris is 
Toyota's cheapest model so the OEM tires aren't premium. Toyota must have 
gotten a good deal because the first one had Bridgestone Potenzas which 
are usually sold as a performance tire. They are not optimized for long 
life.

I just looked at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_rolling_resistance_tire> looking for pros and cons, but did not find them. So I asked ChatGPT:


Sure! Here’s a clear, balanced overview.

## Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) Tires — Pros & Cons

### ✅ Pros

**1. Better fuel efficiency / range**

* Reduced energy loss as the tire rolls
* Improves fuel economy in combustion cars
* Extends range in hybrids and EVs

**2. Lower CO₂ emissions**

* Less fuel or energy used → fewer emissions
* One of the easiest efficiency upgrades

**3. Quieter ride (often)**

* Many LRR tires are designed to reduce road noise
* Especially noticeable at steady highway speeds

**4. Less heat buildup**

* Lower internal friction means cooler running
* Can slightly improve tire longevity in some use cases

**5. Good for daily driving**

* Optimized for commuting and long-distance travel
* Often tuned for comfort rather than aggressive performance

---

### ❌ Cons

**1. Reduced grip (especially wet or cold)**

* Harder rubber compounds reduce rolling resistance
* Can mean longer braking distances
* Cornering grip is often lower than performance tires

**2. Worse performance in snow or ice**

* Not ideal for winter conditions unless specifically designed as LRR winter tires
* Less tread flexibility at low temperatures

**3. Less responsive handling**

* Softer sidewalls and efficiency-focused design
* Steering may feel less “connected” or sporty

**4. Can cost more**

* Advanced materials and compounds increase price
* Savings come back over time via fuel/energy savings

**5. Not ideal for heavy loads or towing**

* Efficiency-focused designs may wear faster under high loads
* Can feel less stable when fully loaded

---

### ⚖️ When LRR Tires Make Sense

* Daily commuting
* Highway driving
* Hybrids and EVs
* Drivers prioritizing efficiency, comfort, and low noise

### ⚠️ When They’re Not the Best Choice

* Sporty or aggressive driving
* Frequent snow, ice, or off-road conditions
* Towing or carrying heavy loads
* Performance-oriented vehicles

---

### Bottom line

Low rolling resistance tires trade **efficiency and comfort** for **grip and performance**. They’re excellent for economical, everyday driving but not ideal if traction and handling are top priorities.

If you want, tell me:

* Vehicle type (ICE, hybrid, EV)
* Climate
* Driving style

I can help you decide whether LRR tires are a good match or suggest alternatives.





Well, there is no snow or ice in my area, thus LRR tires are fine for me.

   Rubber, even quality rubber, EVENTUALLY goes stiff
   and rots. It's chemistry.

   Spend just a LITTLE more money on 'quality' and
   you buy a LOT more slack.

Yes. This is what the mechanic checked at the last revision (less than a

For some reason, I was using at my fifties some boots that were bought 
when I was a teenager. Size was correct, soles had their crests and 
valleys, not much used, but little actual grip. I finally threw them away.

About then or earlier I bough some good boots for mountain sports. I 
think I actually used them 4 times over the years, but the last time, 
the sole got unglued from the rest of the boot, on both boots, like a 
gaping mouth, at the start of the trek. The boots were not even ten 
years old, maybe 6. The rubber was still soft, but the boots were 
garbage material. Fault of the glue, or one intermediate layer that 
decomposed.

  A long, long time ago: Me, the (then still small) kids and my wife,
walking along a narrow mountain path in Austria, me in front. At some
point, my wife and kids noticed a sole on the path. We kept going. But
one of my feet was feeling the stones much more, all of a sudden. You
'guessed' it: It was *my* sole. Went back and tied the sole to the boot
with a pair of shoe-laces.

  Like you, it was an old pair of boots, which hadn't be used for many
years (while the kids were growing up) and yes, they also were 'cheap'
boots.

My sole problem was with a relative new pair of expensive boots. Italian 
carmakers really don't expect you to dive their cars in below freezing 
weather; German boot makers don't expect you to be skipping over hot 
volcanic rock.

These things don't happen by accident by the way. It's "designed" to
fail at four years. Someone is crass enough, to figure out the
interval at which "consumers will accept a defect".

Goods don't have to fail that way, and the price does not
have to increase all that much, to stop it from happening.

They're not attempting to build the best footwear possible.
Just the gravelly appearance of the material in the sole core,
shows it was designed to fail. The material in soles is
no longer as good as the footwear we used to make. There is
even less care than normal about "frictional wear characteristic".

Let us take my Weed Whacker line as an example. I go to the hardware
store, to buy line for the trimmer. I fit the line. I go to use it.
The cord snaps after about 5 seconds use. Normally, you would
auto-dispense another piece of cord. Another five seconds passes.
The piece snaps off. This has NOTHING to do with cheapness. The
line costs the same amount as decent line. But the nylon has been
fabricated for pre-mature failure, such that one trimming session
uses up the entire reel. I would not care, except my time is
wasted feeding line into the stupid thing. I gave up, and
put the trimmer away for the season, knowing I am working
with commercial IDIOTS. If every supplier does this, we're screwed.

   Paul
