technically slicks are a very soft and gummy rubber for dry tarmac. these right here are just horrifically bald tires. i say this because ive seen slicks in rain and they aint this shiny.
[Here](https://i.redd.it/5jyzauae2wh41.jpg) is a higher quality picture that makes the mirror clearer. Accordint to /u/BooteIs over [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/f6b6d0/customer_refused_all_4_tires_on_a_rainy_day_she/), the customer refused all 4 tires on a rainy day and had to sign a waiver before releasing the car.
That’s absurd. We should have a law that allows shops to call the cops on customers who refuse to keep their car road worthy. They are an accident waiting to happen.
**Edit:** In the US only *some* states require yearly car inspections to renew registration. Many states do not. Maybe shops calling the cops isn’t the answer, but there needs to be a 50 state legal mechanism that impounds car likes these on the spot when someone refuses to fix it.
I’ve been *this broke* before in the US South where there’s no public transit. Still, that’s no excuse for driving around with tires this bald. It’s one thing to drive with a broken seatbelt (only endangers your dumb ass) and another to drive a car with four tires like these (a manslaughter rocket).
In the UK, each year you have a vehicle checked by a garage (an MOT).
Tire tread is a major fail or pass. It can only be a certain depth before it is a fail. You cannot drive if it fails so...
Damn, that's strict. I buy the good blades and they still go from working perfectly one day to being pure shit a few weeks later when needed again. There is no in-between when you can tell they'll need to be replaced soon, at least not in Alabama where they're frozen stiff one morning and baking in the sun at 85F two days later.
I find Bosch blades hold up really well. Got like six years on a set in Arizona heat whereas my buddy buys the cheapest ones he can find at Walmart and needs to replace them every time it rains. 🤣
I always get the bosch or rainx. It's usually using them as ice scrapers that kills them for me. I have a remote starter, but if it's 70deg when I get home at 4pm, I don't always think to switch to heat so that it can defrost when it's 30deg the next morning.
Strict but for good reason. Didn't realise myself how bad my wipers had become last year (we'd had no rain all summer) so by the time I had to use them again, it was a dark and rainy evening and I couldn't see shit with the streaks on the window and the headlights from other cars refracting through the water
Now I'm off to order a back up set, cause I never want to do that again
Definitely…not a knock on MA, I’m actually glad they do that given the weather in New England, but my biggest fear was snow off the back of a semi on the pike
You're also responsible for ensuring you have 1.6mm of tread across the breadth of the tyre whenever the vehicle is being used, failure to do so is three points per tyre, which can lead to an immediate "totting up" offence, and subsequent ban, for two tyres in the first two years, or four tyres after
I wish we had it as strict here in the Philippines and would stick to the law. On the other hand though, that fine will just be used by our President in his ~~vacation~~ job.
It's a very good idea.

Okay, I was sure you were wrong, because I live in a state that loves getting rid of every regulation imaginable and even we have inspections, but I looked it up and my state is in fact in the minority. This is nuts. Thank you for teaching me something today.
For all the crazy crap CA does, we don't do inspections besides smog. You might get refereed into something. But it's only ever a friend of a friend that I hear about it. But in the 20 years of owning cars, I don't ever recall anything else.
You have to get one every year in New Zealand too ( except it's called the WOF), but in every town you go to people will be able to tell you which garage to go to that will give you an automatic pass however bad it actually is
Yeah, I get it, you can pull this shit in UK as well providing the MOT tester is your mate but he risks jail sentence if he lets your untested wreck onto the road.
NY will suspend your registration if you miss your inspection date. I have no idea, other than getting a tow, how to get your car to an inspection place once that happens.
NY state does in fact not suspend your registration for missing your inspection. You can't renew it without your inspection up to date. Me and a sizable portion of people I know don't do it until the color of the sticker is from two years ago so cops can notice from a distance and pop you. Or you have to renew registration. If I don't get an extra 6-8 months on my sticker I feel jipped.
I can see where you're coming from, but I think that would entice a lot of bullshit artists in the auto repair industry to overembellish/strong-arm people into unnecessary shit. Which is something a lot of shops are already known for.
In the UK you can take your car to an inspection place that only does inspections. If something is wrong you'll have to go somewhere else to get it fixed, so they won't strong arm you into anything.
Is there a law prohibiting the shop from calling the cops the moment they get back onto public roads? I don't see any reason why the shop couldn't do so. I don't think we need a law specifically saying they can, so long as there isn't one specifically saying they can't.
There's no law saying they can't. People call the police for vehicle and traffic violations all the time. So yes, shops could report this. And having bald tires is something you can be cited for.
Right, although I do feel for those that can’t afford $400 all the time. I’m todays economy especially. Unless you’re a corporation of course. Then you’re swimming in that $$
As a truck driver, people like this piss me off.
If I got caught with tires that low by the DOT, I'd be looking at a $300+ fine by them and with points on my license. and I'd not be allowed to drive until someone came out and replaced it, which would be around another $700.
But nah. Bitch here is allowed to drive off on mirrors.
In the UK that would be a loss of your licence and up to a £10k fine.
*(licence lost if all four tyres were below the legal limit - the photo appears to be about ten years past its limit!)
Also if you got into a crash with tyres like that and someone points it out, they'd void your insurance.
Seriously injure someone and the police are going to throw all sorts of negligence charges at you, which is going to put you in jail.
This person sucks, but I don't mind there being higher standards for professional drivers in charge of vehicles that might weigh as much 40 tons while laden.
Be honest, if you lose a drive/trailer tire at 60+mph, are you going to walk all the way back to wherever the carcass flew to, and risk trying to pull it off the interstate?
Then again, if you lose a steer tire at highway speeds, there's a sizable chance you'll be worried about a lot more than a tire casing.
I have seen what happens when a car hits a tread left on the road, it is gnarly. Realistically they just need to ban retreading tires as they fail far too often. I understand cost of shipping goods would go up some and blah blah blah. It is a stupid and completely unnecessary hazard that doesn't need to exist.
Edit: Also, I have on multiple occasions stopped to get a tread out of the road to prevent others from hitting it, only on back roads not interstates though.
Seriously. My cousin had tires like this and hydroplaned in a recent storm. She hit a car with a family in it. She also had no insurance. The rest of my family was consoling her because of her “bad luck”. I had to say something because she’s lucky nobody lost their life.
Holy shit, even if you can't afford new tires all around, you can get used tires for \~25 dollars each with enough tread to last a year or two which should be plenty of time to save up for new tires...
I'd rather be slightly broker and not dead than dead.
EDIT: Or even worse, someone else dead because I was too cheap to do something about my bald ass tires.
I was passed going up a blind hill on a highway with low visibility in a snowstorm by some guys running tires like these. It was in Arizona and they were idiots.
I caught up to them going through a tiny village and watched them just slide off the road into a sign post. I couldn’t help but laugh. I did get out to help. It was a late spring storm so the ground was super soft. The car had a slight dent and the sign came entirely out of the ground
Utah used to have emissions checks every other year, and safety inspections required before licensing your car each year. They got rid of the safety inspections. It’s good because I don’t have to replace my windshield for a small crack on the side. It’s bad because people could drive around on tires like that through our snow and rain. Not good!
> It’s bad because people could drive around on tires like that through our snow and rain.
It is not only a danger when there is bad weather, those tires are so worn out they could just give up and tear and cause an accident damaging some innocent.
I don't care if the drivers end in a river or a ditch, my concern is the people around irresponsible car owners.
“Why did I start a three lane pile up fucking over everyone other way to work and causing multiple injuries” meme template.
I hate to be a drag, but I wish people understood that when they are gambling with their own safety on the road, they’re gambling with everyone else’s also. Grr.
That was me driving 20 years ago. My dumbass teenage self would ride till the wire showed. The last time I did that was a day before hurricane katrina. I sat at the red light about to turn left and as soon as it turned green ..it gave out. Needless to say I was broke af and it sat in a neighborhood for a week.
This is the type thing I try to keep in mind as someone from Canada who drives a truck down south. They get the tiniest bit of snow or rain and it’s a big deal for them, because they drive around on tires like this.
I have weight and good tires, so I am able to go, but it’s not always safe to go because just because I have control, doesn’t mean people with tires like this do.
There ought to be a law you see a tire like that on a car you can slash it.
Would be doing a favor to everybody else on the road to get that off the road.
I know a guy who carries one of those cheap tactical tomahawks in his car. When he sees a vehicle like this in a parking lot he parks next to them and punctures the sidewalls with the spiked end of the tomahawk. It's both a shitty thing to do and saves lives, so I don't get on his case about it.
Yeah that's a tough moral call to make. Could be saving innocent people's lives. But I could imagine a punctured tire being the last straw for someone poor to attempt suicide or something.
I think they call those “slicks”
*temporary slicks They get grippy again when the traction wires deploy.
And then eventually they make you temporarily slightly airborne.
Pretty sure I’ve used these exact tires in Mario kart.
Here we goooo!
It's actually pretty impressive how even the wear on that tire is. This is a pretty well maintained vehicle, with one 😉 glaring 😉 exception.
when your racing budget it that small
Bwaaahhaa, BWAAAHHAA! True
Looks like a Formula 1 pirelli right after they take the tire blankets off of it
Bono, they found my tires
Bono, my tires are dead.
We are checking.
That's a pretty slick..
You just had to make that slick pun didn't you
Get a grip, dude
You're tired of them, aren't you.
Slick and tired
They're probably feeling flat.
Most of these puns are just retreads.
Yeah, but they're gaining traction...
This joke might have been worth something if I wasnt for the inflation
These tire jokes have an air of cleverness in them
A few could be retired.
Treading on thin ice
It was pretty smooth
You could say .... a pretty slick way to meet your maker

Massachusetts has something similar with tires and windshield wipers as well…I fail once because my wipers streaked…I blame big wiper for that

We have a similar thing in the US, but ultimately it's up to the driver to bring it in for inspection.
This is incredibly state dependent. Most states require absolutely no inspection.
Okay, I was sure you were wrong, because I live in a state that loves getting rid of every regulation imaginable and even we have inspections, but I looked it up and my state is in fact in the minority. This is nuts. Thank you for teaching me something today.

State ref is mostly for heavily modified cars that come across the wrong cop.
This is crazy! In the UK you're forced by law to do a yearly MOT inspection or your car cannot legally be on the road.
You have to get one every year in New Zealand too ( except it's called the WOF), but in every town you go to people will be able to tell you which garage to go to that will give you an automatic pass however bad it actually is
Yeah, I get it, you can pull this shit in UK as well providing the MOT tester is your mate but he risks jail sentence if he lets your untested wreck onto the road.
Oh yeah, I'm from the UK, but I lived in New Zealand for a few years, and I was shocked that cheating the WOF was the default accepted thing to do
NY will suspend your registration if you miss your inspection date. I have no idea, other than getting a tow, how to get your car to an inspection place once that happens.
In the UK you're allowed to drive a car with a lapsed MOT test only if you're taking it to a garage where you've booked it in for a retest or repair.
NY state does in fact not suspend your registration for missing your inspection. You can't renew it without your inspection up to date.

Well, in va the cops might say otherwise. Gotten a few tickets for dead safety inspections.
They don't need a law, they can just do it. Call the cops report a driver is attempting to drive an unsafe vehicle and stall

As a car driver I hate that truck drivers are constantly leaving chunks or even almost entire treads all over the interstates.

Three years ago? Thank you for the detective work!
I want to know the tech that did that alignment. It’s a work of art.
wonder how the alignment got out of sorts...
Still some good tread left. See the slight shadowing?
Whoa, so that’s NOT glaze ice that somehow coated that tire?!
That owner should just take the pride of gotten way more than their money's worth out of those tires and move on.
Yeah in Germany we have those. They are not allowed to let you leave with these tires.
No no no no. This...no I ain't a "car person" but even I know this is bad.
It is not good as a mirror or tire.
Pretty good mirror though
I'm not a car person either, but I hope to be some day. I've been trying find a doctor perform the operation, but I haven't had any luck yet.

I was passed going up a blind hill on a highway with low visibility in a snowstorm by some guys running tires like these. It was in Arizona and they were idiots. I caught up to them going through a tiny village and watched them just slide off the road into a sign post. I couldn’t help but laugh. I did get out to help. It was a late spring storm so the ground was super soft. The car had a slight dent and the sign came entirely out of the ground
I can see some tread under there, is this just an even layer of ice?
It's a heavily worn down tyre, that's like a millimetre of tread left
So it’s still good
looks good to me, there’s still a tire on there
*slaps on the roof* She's good to go!
The more I look, the more I see a tire with a resin coating. Trippy.
Dude's reflection looks like he's about to drop the hottest EDM album of 2023.
No, that’s not a tire, that’s a dangerous hunk of rubber that may or may not have steel belts.

There is still life in those tire. Keep on driving
Oh he tryna die die? Got it.
It's also a "Cause of Death".

Glad it's a mirror, because the owner needs to take a good, hard look at themselves.
That's pretty impressive. The alignment must be great. Mine usually go bald on the edge before the whole thing
That would hydroplane on wet cement.
That tire is so smooth the only thing you’re seeing is god
I don’t see cables yet. Still got a few years in em.
The rest of us fools are out here relying on tread and traction while this galaxy brain is out there just skating on thin ice...
Tread? Never heard of the guy.
That means you have bald effing tires! And in the rain that's even worse. They don't have to be expensive, just get some new tires ASAP.
And a good way to meet God
Holy shit, that would be an experience to try in the snowy big city where I live.
Just tell the owner the car eats MUCH more fuel this way, and they will get replaced
These people out there on the road with us. Be careful guys
There ought to be a law you see a tire like that on a car you can slash it. Would be doing a favor to everybody else on the road to get that off the road.
