Cheap tyres better then bald tyres and much much better than a cracked tyre with the internal plies all showing already.
This tyre already gone through the first 2 plies already as can see the steel belts already. 2 more plies and that is it.....:stupid:

This one another bad example.....:banghead:

Was on a Satria. Cause? well, tyres worn and since in the front, the cornering wore the shoulders more then the pattern area....
I see. Thanks for the explanation. That doesn't look like stock tyre size on Satria. Low profile tyres? Stock was like 175/65 or something like that isn't it?

Rub-damaged by road kerb.
Looks pretty bad. Can you see the nylon plies? If yes, better change it.

You are on OE 14" so 185/60R14 is best. Used to have 195/55R14 size but very rare nowadays.
If you want to upgrade further then need rim change too. To 15" then 195/50R15, or 205/50R15 in extreme case...:driver:

What's OE? Original rims? I'm not using stock rims. I'm using some Enkei rim but I had no idea what name is that or perhaps it is some replica rim. I'll attach a pic here.

Oh! OE is Original Equipment and Wira is either 13" or 14". The 1.3 and 1.5 came with 13" and 1.6 came with 14", so I put both as OE size.

Enkei is famous Japanese Rims, but they have a local factory in Malaysia. Yours could be local Enkei...:driver:

Anyway back to the topic, I once driven my first car until the tires bald and could even notice some plies starting to appear even though still got some thin rubber layer. It was already a very dangerous experience when on wet roads, I felt like I was driving on the edge all the time! But it was no where near the picture VR2 posted, so who ever that person is, he/she's either crazy or completely stupid and careless, and very lucky to still survive!
