MG4 Standard tyres are seriously dangerous!

My rear off side original tyre with around 28000 miles . All other tyres are as good

This is interesting. He mentions loads of numbers to look for. Don't understand it so someone better than me can do a TLDR. Cheers

TLDR if the size, load rating and speed rating match, it's safe to fit it.

If you ignore the title of this thread, that is…

I should've put it as "safe"

But how do I know if it has foam inside or not while I'm ordering

Surely when you order tyres you choose the model to order and that in itself tells you whether it has foam inside or not.
I can think of very few tyre models with foam. Most don’t but have other noise reduction features.

It doesn't matter whether there is foam in there or not.

If you have noise reducing foam in the tyre, have a puncture, and try using the supplied bottle of sealant as a temporary fix, will it work?

I believe that the foam can interfere with the sealant process as the foam may stop the sealant flowing out of the hole sufficiently to set.

Update on Turanza 6:
After near 6k miles, fronts are down from 7mm to 6.5mm
Rears are down from 7mm to 6mm.

If I’m lucky and wear allows it, I won’t have to replace the tyres before swapping the car for a new one at the end of the lease term in two years.

Glad this has come up. Had a few times it felt like it was on Ice

Totally agree. I have had the same issue
