When should you replace your tires? Three checks. Tread depth must stay above 1.6 mm by Thai law — slot a 10-baht coin into the groove and if the king's portrait is fully visible the tire is at end of life. Tire age should not exceed 5 years from the manufacture date, printed on the sidewall as a four-digit code (e.g., 2622 means week 26 of 2022). Visible cracking, sidewall bulges, or deep nails that cannot be patched also mean replacement. What do tires cost in Thailand? Sedan tires in 16 to 17 inch sizes run 2,500 to 4,500 THB each for mid-tier brands like Maxxis, Yokohama, and Bridgestone Turanza. Premium brands — Michelin, Continental, Pirelli — start at 4,500 to 8,000 THB each. SUV and European-spec 18 to 19 inch tires push the price to 6,000 to 14,000 THB each. Light truck tires sit on a separate scale starting at 8,000 THB. Wheel alignment plus dynamic balancing across four wheels runs 600 to 1,200 THB depending on the shop, often bundled when buying a full set. How do you pick the right tire shop? Look for one with a 3D laser alignment rig, a dynamic balancer for high-speed wheel tests, and a written manufacturer warranty matching the brand's tread-life policy — usually 6 years from manufacture date. Before paying, inspect the date code on every tire and confirm none are older than 6 to 12 months from production, since older stock carries reduced remaining service life.
