Right Time To Get New Tyres For Punto?

[hemantp]

Hello,

My Punto (D) is almost 4 yrs old now and has run more than 36K KMs.

Could you please suggest it is the right time to get new tyres?

The current ones are Goodyear R15 195/60 (stock).

I am planning a Bangalore - Pune drive in mid May and want to change the tyres before that if its time.

Please let me know:
1) I must change tyres now?
2) Perhaps on KM front not much running for these tyres but the car has stood on them for 4 yrs - should that drive the decision?
3) Is there any test I could do to gauge tyres condition?
4) Any recommendations? My usage is mostly highways (~80%)

Thanks.

cannot predict. It's better you post a picture of the tyres

when should you change ?

1. uneven thread pattern.
2. wornout tyres
3. lack of grip while braking or too many punctures
4. wobbling
