    Shall I replace this Tyre?

    Thanks guys.. I will see how it goes for next few days and if needed will get them replaced.. I just ran a quote for a front pair and it is coming out around £172 for GoodYear F1 Asy5. I have GoodYears Asy3 in the back which I changed two years back so will keep same brand if I go for new tyres.
