Default Am I lucky or what? Tire related...

I've been rolling on some bald *** tires all winter long, and I didn't want to buy any Brand new tires because I am getting new wheels/tires for this summer so I kept putting it off.

Well this is what they look like now. I coun't keep them any longer because I started feeling the rear right wheel like it was unbalanced, I took it to my friends shop & we found out that one of the tires was growing an egg/bump on it.

I went by the local tire repair shop & bought a pair off some used tires for $60. So I changed both of my rear tires, which were the original tires that came on the car and are the ones that I had in the front for about 1 year & a half...

Check'm out

This is what happens when you DON'T have a camber kit and your dropped about 2 inches all around.

















Cool thing is the used tires that I got are the same that I have up front Michellin V-something ( the one's that came with the Si " )

Lowered cars without camber kits
Camber kits Worth the money-will save you more than they cost in tires in the first 6 months.

I don't think you're lucky, I think you're stupid for driving with such bald tires. Especially in those conditions. I'm glad you're not driving around me and endangering my life.

I knew some one had to make a stupid *** remark, can you be happy that nothing happened and leave it at that? NO.

Do you think I drove around for pleasure with my tires worn out. If you just spent close to $2000 in wheels and tires are you also going to buy BRAND NEW tires for you stock rims that you are not going to use anymore and that your going to put away in a couple of months?

Why do you have to make a smart remark?

If I wanted to put MY SELF in danger or anyone else then WHY THE F*CK did I buy better tires THE DAY AFTER I found out they where so worn?

Well, either you're being intellectually dishonest or you are just plain ignorant. Let me quote: "I've been rolling on some bald *** tires all winter long, and I didn't want to buy any Brand new tires because I am getting new wheels/tires for this summer so I kept putting it off. "

The above quote TOTALLY contradicts what you had to say in your counter argument. You said you've been rolling on the bald *** tires ALL WINTER LONG. I sounded to me like you knew you had bald tires all winter long. Yeah, it's good no one got hurt. But as a driver, I consider driving with such bald tires irresponsible. I didn't think the remark was that much of a smart *** remark. Maybe you need thicker skin. Everyone on this board is going to have their remarks, calm down.

Why do you have to make a smart remark?
