Default plz look (a tire pic)

ok, i brought a set of si wheels/tires for $300.
Only one had a major wear. Do u think it is still ok to drive with it daily?
Right now, am in a tight budget, so getting new tires have to wait a little while

got v rated Toyo Proxes 4 (which I have and love) for like around 300 bucks.
I REALLY reccomend new tires, or replace that one. But your suppose to replace them in pairs, so get 2. Please get safe tires, that is the most important and most engineered part on your whole car.

when u have a spot on a tire thats worn way more than the area around it, the ply's are usually seperating. the inner piece will soon come popping out and then itll blow real fast. replace that one

haha...pretty much you can sit in your car.^^

Seriously though, a tire is like 40 bucks, and replace both and put the new ones on the front for better traction...so 80 bucks isn't bad at all...

using bad tires, crashing, or bending rim.
