Amazing, even with the uneven wear

How are the other 3 doing?

Hard rubber maybe would have done better. My dad got 109k on his 1st 84 mazda pickup...original equipment light truck tires, driven at low speeds...tread was good but local service station recommended new tires because of dry sidewalls.

Long run but flirting with danger.

prolly the dumbest thing to attempt...but oh well since he commutes early in the morning so at least he won't kill anyone else but his stupid ass -_-

Bob_VT · 02-15-2009, 05:23 PM

CHEAP idiot thing to do.

firemachine69 · 02-15-2009, 08:16 PM

I'll be lucky if my Potenza's last me 20K to bald...

I've had tires this bad but never went too far in them.

This boy was lucky.

my potenza RE040 were almost this bald due to the lack of money and time to have them changed.

Echo_hrs should remember those tires. he had then sitting in his garage for quite a while before I picked them up :P

anyways, it depends where you live, because i was unable to drive safetly in Quebec when the tires hit the "safety marker"
