Never drive a brand new car, straight from the showroom. You could kill someone. Even a small child!0 -

How and why do people stumble on posts on page 65 of a forum and post a pointless reply?
I think you'll find in this case it was a bit of fun because of how often the post had been resurrected before to calls of "it's x years old!"
Personally I look forward to seeing it again in another year or so!0 -

I cant believe it! Its nearly winter again. You really dont want bald tyres this time of year, I recommend winter tyres. I hope the OP takes notice.One man's folly is another man's wife. Helen Roland (1876 - 1950)0

Why drag up a 7 year old thread?
If he hadn't checked the tyres since then, I'd suggest either he or the car is dead by now.0 -
I have seen and know off many individuals, full grown adults who are working professionals, who have bald tyres. I don't know why they would even take the risk, but its usually the 'stingy' ones who have the bald tyres.
One of my friends, a dentist, has a 1995 Toyota Corolla, completely worn down. He drives it every week, 100 miles or so on motorways and A-roads. Two of his tyres were bald, he got one of them replaced in his last MOT, but literally 3 months later the other tyre is illegally bald. It's just stupid and dangerous to risk such things. Part of me wants him to learn a tough lesson so he wouldn't endanger himself and others on the road.0 -
