Can say almost. But that was also like more than 3 months ago. Just now tried the same thing on wet tarmac. Got grip this time. Tried once only.
Tyre and rubber still new, soft and grip, plus plenty thread pattern. 3 months ago old tyres also not much left, maybe additional 5%, rubber harden and almost bald, and on wet sure bad loh!
All my UHP and Max performance tyres will have big different in the wet after 50% worn...
Hmm, usually this kind of tyre can last for how long? No need to be precise, just roughly the duration and distance traveled is how much?
Is UHP Ultra High Performance? Just wondering... If like that 50% worn, feel like not that long lasting if buy those tyres...
Found this at my tyre.

Normal users who drive more on the slow side will not find much difference when their tyres wear up to 50%, probably lower at 30% or more.
UHP tyre users who touge and drive fast will feel the difference in performance once they reach 50% wear and especially in the wet.
I have seen sports car and turbo cars changing their tyres at 50%. If it fits my car I would have bought them....
Good timing.

Conti is from which country? Malaysian?
50% change? Rich people indeed. But buying 2nd hand tyre is good?:hmmmm:

If you don't whack corners or drive hard and more for daily driver like us who just want to get from A to B. Is okay to get 2nd hand, just don't get those that is 50% thread left but more than 6 years old tyre. Even new tyres if more than 4 years already not recommended to buy since tyres that is more than 6 years old are no longer usable or recommended to use at all.
But new tyres, I always check the date. Don't just because mech say is new tyre, then u just take and didnt see date. Kena con also dunno.
I think rubber quality also deteriorate already after so many years. Coupled with our hot weather, that won't do any good on tyres.
Where to check the date?
Found it. 0911 for the A drive at rear while 0414 for the new Viking at front.

A drive is also new or really used since 2011? Around 3rd week of february 2011.
Should be German.
Since they have factory in Malaysia, some of the tyre models are local made.
Yes, why not. 2nd hand is very much cheaper but must know how to see and inspect first....

If those UHP and Max tyres usually 1 to 2 years old. 50% for Max tyres still good mah! since will be way way cheaper. Max tyres still can whack but not in wet for those less then 50% lah.....

Your wife real slow driver wor
16" Silverstone
2009 ones 5 years liao, Conti CC1 tyre. Sidewall near pattern start to have hairline cracks, as well as in between the grooves, so better start looking for tyres dy.
235/60R16 not many tyres have...ha! ha! same problem as your 165/55R14, but at least SUV don not need high performance tyres loh!
If tyre model cannot find good one, then have to upgrade to 17" and use 225/55R17. This size got plenty of brands and model....
