So guys, i know it’s a bit random but can you help me out? So i blew out my front left tire and got a new. My other tires have about 6500 mile on them. Any advice regarding tire presures, should i rotate the tires etc. The car ir 2016 fiesta, and the tires are 205/40/r17 conti sport contact 5
Very much in the wrong place, tyres should ideally be changed in pairs, id put new on front right and keep the old one as a spare. Check your pressures regularly regardless; check your handbook or if in doubt, 32PSI all round ;)
