You're like a little kid. I'm done here.

 

im the little kid, ok... you said you knew mroe about tires than me, and thats fine.. because you are older... however your proof that you know more is obvious...

 

This looks dangerous, but what do i know...I drive a toyota

 

Funny, I don't remember saying that.... Yep, just checked and didn't find that anywhere.

 

Are you guys seriously trying to tell me that you've never worn your tires down to this level? If so, I say Bull˟˟˟˟˟!

 

actually if you look above, you said just that.....

 

Geez, this turned south REAL fast!

 

a lot of skill can help you to avoid accidents due to the error of other drivers, and can help you avoid things by maneuvering the vehicle, and those are important skills to have as a driver, of course ... i think the concern is just that when you're in a situation that requires you to exercise those skills, if your tires aren't grabbing or getting much traction then driver skill, no matter how refined and perfected that skill is, isn't going to do much.

i don't doubt your abilities as a driver, i just have some doubts about the ability of a bald tire. i think maybe that's what other people are trying to say too.

 

oh yeah, peter? oh yeah? you wanna fight about it?

 

Chickenlover, chill out.

Wear bars have been around forever (exaggeration), I'm surprized that in all your years of wisdom you've never heard of them. Just about all tires have them.

jimabena74 has a valid point, that they can be unsafe. Whether bald tires are at a higher risk of a blow out, I don't know. But your wet weather traction is greatly diminished. If there's a puddle on the road you're more likely to hydroplane. It's summer but people still water their lawns, etc.

Take everybody's advice as constructive critism. You can indeed learn from people, even if they're younger than you.

 

Hmmmm. Pulling a quote out of thin air and trying to pin it to a source that it never came from. You must be a Michael Moore fan.

 

Right. It's over.. We should have never let it get this far.

Robinhood. I was simply defending myself. Telling me to chill out is unnecessary.

P.S. I have worn several tires down to nothing and there was no treadbar in sight.

 

as conan would say:

keep cool, my babies!

 

Oh yeah, I have driven on tires like that. But I was 18, and thought I knew it all and would live forever. Somehow, I managed to survive that phase of my life and can now look back and realize just how stupid and lucky I was.

 

um yeah, except i must have made that up since its post #9 of this thread that you posted... maybe i secretly have you sn and password logged and login as you so i can make up quotes you said and then call myself a liar....

 

This sounds like a great place to lock this thread.

Chickenlover, I hope you learned something about tires today.
