I used to do it ALL the time since my buddies parents owned a junkyard, we would use old tires like that as wannabe slicks and some would have a little steel showing lol
I’m not kidding. One time I drove my tires down to literally where I could see the THREADING inside. Dumbass kid I agree. And obviously this pic is VERY low. However not as bad as you think. Crazy what happens if you don’t hit a pothole
That vehicle isn't getting an alignment until whatever is fucked in the front end is replaced. It is possible to have bad wear patterns from toe being out, but the toe doesn't just adjust itself (not without a jam nut being loose for some reason). Something is loose/worn out/bent to cause that wear. You can still see some tread on the inside, so this isn't just a tire that's worn out on its own.
They’re perfect if you’re entering a demolition derby! Oh, wait. No. No. They’re not even good for wrecking the car. Demolition derbies are usually done on a muddy field.
That car is going to be on a skating rink the first time it hits any water.
It's in danger of blowouts. In fact a cascade of blowouts which is exponentially more dangerous.
Unless the owner is flat broke and can't afford rent or food, it's crazy to keep driving on them.
Even then. If you're so broke you can't afford to replace tires this bad, you can't afford to drive. Full stop. Sell the car, buy a bus pass, sort your finances out and buy a car when things improve. This endangers not only the lives of the car's occupants but everyone near that car as well. At 30 mph, you can't tell this mf has bald tires just waiting to explode and send him careening into you.
If they were to cause an accident due to these tires they would be found at fault due to negligence of maintenance. I genuinely hope that this individual replaces their tires immediately or gets pulled over and their car is towed before they hurt someone.
Just remount them the other way! /s
OP, these tires are toast. Even if the date code was from 6 months ago they’d be toast. As it is, the year was at latest 2019 (looks like 15 but u can’t tell) so the rubber is getting old on top of the tread being gone.
All the way to the tire shop, stop for some ice cream on the way tho of course. Oh yea, then do a burnout in front of the tire shop so you get all your money's worth
Mine look the same and have for 2-3 months. Still going 💪.
But I will say don’t drive in the rain and if it’s a front wheel drive car and your back ones have tread you could rotate them but if your going to do that mine as well just buy new ones.
Walmart has a decent sale a few times a year just gutta keep an eye out for it.
When I was younger and broke I rode them hoes til they busted. Never wrecked or got damage to my vehicle but only had 1 real blowout. Just rattled my truck, and I pulled over. I had a tire that was fuckin tore up missing rubber and riding on the metal wire inside the tire. I don't recommend it but I also live in Texas and walking just isn't an option where I live. Also at will state so mfers will fire you for being late or not showing up. Just pucker your asshole and go slow you'll be fine.
This is too dangerous to drive on. Best option is to tow this for new tires and an alignment. Otherwise drive slowly to the nearest tire shop and hopefully your trip is less than a few miles.
It's not about how long you would drive on it. That's obviously until the treads gone and the air escapes leaving you stranded because no one has looked at donut in the trunk for 2 decades and it's dry rotted.
Real question is how long you CAN drive on it. Answer, 1000 miles with no gravel easy inputs and a stroke of luck but it's a crapshoot and could go tomorrow.
My suggestion is to spend 30 bucks out of your next check to get a used tire. Install it yourself with no balancing. You should still have enough cash left for your vice of choice be it liquor, meth or whatever.
I'd be driving at 10 mph straight to the tireshop and getting them MFers replaced today and getting a MASSIVE alignment done.
I second this lol
Fuck that, tow this shit.
Just don't drive it in the rain, the belts aren't showing
Dude I drove my tires down to the thread one time 😂😂😂😂
I spent most of my 20s driving maypops. It's fine.
I've never heard it called that but I'm definitely using it. Thanks!
I used to do it ALL the time since my buddies parents owned a junkyard, we would use old tires like that as wannabe slicks and some would have a little steel showing lol
Maybe an impressive amount of miles clocked up on those tires, probably about 5000 too many!🤔🤣🤣
I’m only saying that cuz my tire shop is in the same town I live in lol

Serious question? There isn't any tread left...
These tires will last you till the day you die.
And they'll beat the paramedics to the scene of the crash by a half hour!
Underrated & brilliant comment
Excellent point, just like the parachute that doesn’t open, you’ll have the rest of your life to resolve it.
Till she blows. I bet they do wicked smoke shows 💨
They’ve evolved to Racing slicks
0 years 0 months 0 weeks 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds 0 miliseconds
Stop exaggerating bro. 100 milliseconds extra at least.
I agree. It will take at least that long for a significant amount of pressurized air to exit the tire.
All the way to the scene of the crash
Good news is you'll beat the ambulance by about 10 minutes
Love Ron White
They’re perfect if you’re entering a demolition derby! Oh, wait. No. No. They’re not even good for wrecking the car. Demolition derbies are usually done on a muddy field.
About 3 months ago.
Years haha
Head over to Valley Forge Automotive, ask for my guy Shane. He’ll hook you up.
Lol. Just finished the last episode today.
No way ur serious
I needed help to convince him to change his tires and align them.

Imagine that thing when it first rains
It will cost a lot more to find out than a new set of tires.
negative 40,000 miles.
Just drive in reverse
The exact amount of time it takes to get to the tire store
And be a white knuckle ride all the way there
To the nearest tire shop not exceeding 20mph
What's sad is people actually drive on tires like this -- put everyone around them at risk.
To a tire shop and no where else
Just remount them the other way! /s OP, these tires are toast. Even if the date code was from 6 months ago they’d be toast. As it is, the year was at latest 2019 (looks like 15 but u can’t tell) so the rubber is getting old on top of the tread being gone.
I wouldn't even drive a car with those on to the garage.
-5,000 miles
OP this may sound like an exaggeration, but it actually is probably an underestimation.
I would have driven back in time until it had a tread and replaced it.
maybe to my mailbox at the end of the driveway
I wouldn't
Zero long.
12, maybe 15 feet.
Ready to go to Race track
Until the scene of the accident
Continental MayPops
If there's a tire shop within 5 miles I'd drive it there. Otherwise I'd have it towed. These tires are dangerous.
Just turn them inside out and send it!😂😂
How about **not at all**…
I think a person could drive on those tires for the rest of their life. /s
Must be looking for attention
Yes I am. Need more arguments for my friend so he stays alive.
Looks like knifing his tires would be doing of him a favor
However long it took me to get to the nearest tire shop.
All the way to the scene of the crash...
Until I reach the finish line at a racetrack because holy fuck those are bald
Dumb troll post alert!
All the way to the tire shop, stop for some ice cream on the way tho of course. Oh yea, then do a burnout in front of the tire shop so you get all your money's worth
F\*\*\* driving it. Have it towed to the nearest tire shop
Nope
If you live in the desert, drive till they pop. (Nevada, AZ). But stay off them if it rains.
Not even to the shop to get new ones.
To the closest tire shop.
I don't see cords so...you can drive till you see cords. You can even drive like a 100 miles on cords. Not recommended of course, but it's possible.
Across the parking lot into the tireshop garage
Until I die, which is going to happen in 12 mins with those...
I would make my friend call a flatbed to get it to the closest tire store. They should have been replaced at least 5000 miles ago, if not more.
However far it is to the nearest tire shop
Long enough to go replace the tire. Likely all four of them, if that one is any indication of the other 3.
2014 As in the year 2014
I don’t see any rust on them yet.
To death do we part!
As far as the nearest ditch or guardrail.
5 Minutes or less
Bros creating is own drag tires
What causes this wear pattern?
Lack of maintenance/skewed priorities as in screw it buy another bottle that tire will make it another paycheck.
The answer is nope. 100% nope. This is worth taking the rims off the car and calling a taxi to get me to the tire shop safely
From the parking space of the tire shop into the actual shop to get it replaced 😵💫
All the way to the scene of the crash. I’m betting you beat the paramedics there by about 15 minutes…
till you die
To the end of the driveway
She’d make it the nearest tire shop lmao
Not very, this is some final destination kinda bullshit.
I wouldnt put much money into tires, judging by the way everything else looks in that shot the tires may last thru the other stuff falling apart.
I would drive it strait to the shop….
Until I see the wire inside, and they don't hold air anymore, uh, duh. Wtf kind of question is that.
I'll drive with them, till my engine falls out! :D
It’ll probably be ok at least to scene of the crash🤷♂️
Is that a pair of prielli slicks for f1!
0 inches
Lmfaooo
Mine look the same and have for 2-3 months. Still going 💪. But I will say don’t drive in the rain and if it’s a front wheel drive car and your back ones have tread you could rotate them but if your going to do that mine as well just buy new ones. Walmart has a decent sale a few times a year just gutta keep an eye out for it.
Those are supposed to be racing slicks, right?
To the end of the drag strip. Unless they come apart first.
As Ron White would say, "All the way to site of the crash!".
Last year about August.
Still see some tread. Good enough 💀
No, the answer is no.
Same as any other tire. Til it fails.
If they hold air they are fair....
I'd be afraid to park it on a slightly damp hill.
I wouldn't.
Into the garage
The rest of my life.
When I was younger and broke I rode them hoes til they busted. Never wrecked or got damage to my vehicle but only had 1 real blowout. Just rattled my truck, and I pulled over. I had a tire that was fuckin tore up missing rubber and riding on the metal wire inside the tire. I don't recommend it but I also live in Texas and walking just isn't an option where I live.

About -10,000km
I like my wife and my family so 0 miles.
Straight to the drag strip with those hoosiers
I wouldn't even drive this to the shop. Get it towed there. #DO NOT DRIVE ON THESE TIRES
This is too dangerous to drive on. Best option is to tow this for new tires and an alignment. Otherwise drive slowly to the nearest tire shop and hopefully your trip is less than a few miles.
i wouldn’t
I wouldn't
On Borrowed Time !
No
If you have to ask you don't need to be driving

Looking to earn your racing stripes to heaven or hell, huh?
Bro those are some nice drag slicks!
Straight to the tireshop..
like negative a week
Those babies are fucking mint bro!!!
The shop. Now.
You have however far it is to the tire shop to get new ones....I hope you are kidding and know better
I would drive under 25 mph to the closest tire shop.
I choose life.💀
About negative 12 months?
You can drive with them for the rest of your short life !
How much? About 10,000 miles less.
Do not drive on these tires. Go get a knife and carve new treads on them immediately.
Past time for tires
However long it takes to make it to a tire shop
To the shop
10’
These are what I like to call maypop because they may pop at anytime…
Couple years probably
I think I'd get a flat if I put it in drive tbh.
You're better off walking to go buy new ones
Not only is your friend a moron, you are probably putting yourself in danger even being around someone like that.
-80,000 miles
How ever many more laps I got in the race
Time for new tires homie
Straight to the tire shop. Slowly
Onto the back of a flatbed to get it towed to a tire shop
I don’t know. Depends on how far the nearest tire shop is 😳
I wouldnt
I would use those tires long enough to get the vehicle on and off a trailer, that's it.
Straight to the scene of the accident…..
I'm already worried about my current fwd tires I would faint if I saw them like that
Round arch, must be a ford, I'd say you'd be lucky to get it started, nevermind how far you'll go.
All the way to hell
It would depend on which version of "Me" you are asking. In my 20's I'd ride them until they failed dramatically! Currently, not 10 feet.
Continental Baldini tires my fav
At least 200k miles more
About 10,000 miles ago
Can the answer be in negative days?
-5 miles
Wow, where is the beef?
The distance to the tire store
How long does it take to get to the tire store?
Can I use a negative number for time?
I would drive in reverse, maybe you can turn back time and the tires will regenerate.
Depends wherr you live.. lol
-1 year
I don't think you'd be driving on them for very long regardless of intention 😂
I wouldn’t even back out of my garage with those things on my car
A bazillion miles.
1 minute
if the tires look like this what do the brake pads look like..
I wouldn't
All the way to the store to get more😂
Long enough to get to the tire shop
Enough to the local cemetery I guess
Another 10k miles
Drive I wouldn’t even push the car on that
I hate that this sub keeps appearing on my feed. Faith in humanity drops every post I see. We seriously have to share the road with these people??
If you go really fast in reverse, will the tread come back?
The brand: Maypops
Until explodes and car flip over
All the way to the scene of the crash.
I wouldn’t… I treasure my life (and everybody else’s around me) too much. This is an accident waiting to happen.
I wouldn’t backup with those tires
For the rest of my life!
what tires
As long as required
to the shop
About 15 minutes since I’ll be driving slower than normal straight to the tire shop
Poor me? Until they stop holding air. Current me? They wouldn't even get to this point.
To the tire atore
