Of course we are all assuming that they have come off a road car - was that the case Tony? Was the car driven to you with them on or were they loose?

 

I would expect to see tyres like that if they have been finished off for fun at a drift meeting or tarmac autotest or similar - indeed I have done just that. Of course I didn't take them on the road - that would be too risky if it was wet / damp and the consequences of a pull from Mr P would be dramatic.

These were from a road car and the owner was aware the tread was "low" :huh: .... The car is a high end BMW with a young'ish driver and ok the tyres are not exactly cheap but come on these tyres were waiting to give someone a really bad day.

Years ago someone on another forum I used had tyres that bald from never checking them. He wondered why the wet grip was terrible and was having problems getting up the slightest incline!
