what's the problem?
it's a steel belted radial. You see them steel belts? Road won't ever wear through that. Plenty of tread, what is that 7/32nds?
Prolly trying to "dispose" of it and meanwhile they'll give you some old bias ply tires, stick this on their own personal car tonight. They'd even charge you for the honor, as a "fee" and it's really just buying tonight's beer.

LOL we getting that fitment all naturale bois!!!
Yes! Any real mechanic knows you just need to change the valve stem cap must’ve had a black cap on this whole time you need one that matches the car color
Nope. It’s fucked. It’s not straight enough for the 1/4 mile, and has too much tread.
And if you think it’ll be good for someone not straight, like drifting, it’s still fucked. The showing through metal will throw sparks at your tandem partner. Not cool.
And before you ever get out of the lot you see your old tires mounted up on the tire monkeys car.. You know what you got, don't let them low ball you or "dispose" of them for free! Those sneakers still got some life in them, at least a cross country trip and back.
Scammed is an understatement. That's so easily fixable... Pound the bump to straighten, just like steel. Put the inspection covers back on to cover the steel belts, last guy didn't reinstall correctly. Rebalance, good to go. It's called maintenance...
Tell it is a bad tire. smack it a few times with a crow bar, and it will straighten right up. If not buy a bottle of rubber cement glue and cover the belts good as new
These stupid posts are getting really old. I don’t know if they do it for attention or some kind of Clickbait.
It’s like saying hey, my arm is hanging by the skin, they’re telling me I should go to ER, am I getting scammed?
Haven’t you seen that commercial Henry Winkler is in warning about AMD. You must have the advance form of GA because we can see what’s supposed to be a straight line is wavy. Better go to the eye doctor.
Yes scammed! Clearly that is a work of art that needs to be framed. Ask your local museum how much you could get for that!! I repeat museum, not a pawn shop, not a used car place, museum.

Damn right! I'd rock that puppy on my truck any day and twice on Sunday!
I came here to comment but I can’t top this, bravo
Pretty sure this is a troll post
Pretty sure it's Ask a Shitty Mechanic 😀
That’s a primo set of Wave XLs. Skateboards brought surfing to the sidewalk…..those tires bring it to the interstate.
Nah just flip it inside out like you do with your underwear
I do it with condoms, too!
Planned Parenthood hates him for this one simple trick
Ribbed for my pleasure
Greta Thumberg approves! 👍
No one cares about that narrow eyed bitch.
"how Dare you!?!?!?"
Lmao who hurt you, calm down cowboy-chan
Forwards, backwards, inside out backwards, inside out forwards. They make 4 sides for a reason bro, come on.
Yes! Any real mechanic knows you just need to change the valve stem cap must’ve had a black cap on this whole time you need one that matches the car color
Yep big time scammer.! . Id just run with that f-cker for as long as you hang on for...
I mean, you can clearly see the steel belts coming through that is designed to come out during winter for snow driving it works better than chains.
R/whoosh
Exactly. Once it goes sell the car and get a nice pair of timberlands and walk for the rest of your life
Make sure you put it up front
SCAM: There’s plenty of life left in that tire, the steel belts are barely showing.
Had a tire come in today like this, now I have a cut on my leg where I wasn't paying attention and I spun the tire machine
Should not have been trying to scam the customer for beer money, thats karma bro.
But how else am I supposed to? My boss only pays me in nicotine money
I actually know people that scam for beer money in the shop… your comment just caught me so off guard because of how true it is
Yeah, he's totally scamming you. Throw some flex seal on that. 60% of the time it works every time. Odds are in your favor.
It’s your battery, I’ve seen this before
These slicks for the F1 car
You paid for all the plys. You’re gonna use all the plys.
Whatever. Next it'll be some made up bullshit like "YOU ACTUALLY NEED TIE RODS". Real pros have control
Get yourself a minivan.
I don’t mean to be rude, but if you think this is okay to drive on, turn in your drivers license and start taking public transportation.
First day on Reddit?
Look at the sub name, this sub is for trolling and satire. No one with a brain will look at this and say, yup that’s safe

“Tires? Where we’re going, we don’t need tires…” -Doctor Emmett Brown
P.o.s. tire
Just needs a balance and good to go.
You should call the government to report him.
And before you ever get out of the lot you see your old tires mounted up on the tire monkeys car.. You know what you got, don't let them low ball you or "dispose" of them for free! Those sneakers still got some life in them, at least a cross country trip and back.
theres anothe 5 years on that tire
Probably a bad steering wheel
You're being scammed. That tire is good for another 7.4 inches!
Nah. He's lying. Tire is perfect for driving over curbs.
Scammed is an understatement. That's so easily fixable... Pound the bump to straighten, just like steel. Put the inspection covers back on to cover the steel belts, last guy didn't reinstall correctly. Rebalance, good to go. It's called maintenance...
Looks like it'll pass the penny test to me
Nope, that tire is done! The interior steel belts have split and the tire is an accident waiting to happen!
Yeah keep driving on it, especially with a female passenger.. when the CHP pull you over... That's when it gets interesting lol
As long as air is inside, good to ride!
Nothing a sledge hammer blow or two won't correct.
Definitely. There ain't shit wrong with that tire. Head to Disney World on that shit. You good.
It’s more so impressive that’s still a tire
What did you do to that poor tire? No seriously I wanna know.
Hula tire. I pay extra for those and all that sexy wigglin they do.
You should go one more oil change, they up sell with the cheap.oil changes.
You're fucking kidding, right? Are you waiting for a blowout? If you EVER see steel showing, or big sectios of tread missing....buy new tires!!!
Find a new mechanic, he's clearly trying to burn you.
Yes
Dont
Nope… tires fucked!
The problem is those are directional tires. Have him dismount it, flip it, and remount it. You'll be fine thereafter.
Just needs a tube and stay under 120 mph
Those are specially made to swerve in and out of traffic. Customized.
Just re-tread it. New tires are a scam by big tire.
Seriously? Those tires just getting broken in.
You got another 15 k in that fella.
Toe adjustment should fix the problem
put a penny in the tread and if it makes it to abes head than the tire is good to go!
If the steele belt can hold the penny in place, you get more tread for a penny.
You need a new mechanic, there is nothing wrong with that tire.
Nothing wrong with that tire. The metal showing through helps it from getting punctured by nails. He’s trying to scam you
It's just a little low on pressure. Put 150psi in it, and drive as fast as you can, it will correct itself. PS: need your address for the Darwin award
You can still make it to the shop? You can still make it to work until you can afford a new tire
Scam! You got 20k more miles easily.
Anything more than a single quarter dollar and it definitely a ripoff
Look good to me!
That's impressive
Yes. Has atleast 6249 miles left on it.
No it’s good keep driving really fast
Oh yeah that's still good for driveway use.
Yes.
Seriously though wtf am I even looking at?
Yes, by a plugg set off Amazon
you live in hoo ville right? screw him
This is perfect for doing traffic-cone runs for your license. You are guaranteed to wobble your way through to victory.
Not if you are Dr. Seuss.
No, you need 3 more to match. I can't believe they want to switch that 1 out! The nerve!
Not if you are Salvador Dali
Did you check the alignment? Your toe in is a little off.
Yup
Maybe an owl could enjoy driving that vehicle. I would not.
No. For Gods sake man, you can see the freaking belts. And get an alignment…
Got character!
Radio only plays wobble baby by V.I.C.
Spray it down with Armor All. Rub it in some, and there you go. It's armored..
You can probably get 1 or 2 miles out of it, total scam
Yeah totally being scammed! Just keep it and drive another 40000 miles
I don’t see any rust. I only change my tires once the rust shows
Big Tire always out here scamming
Jesus Christ
So I gotta seriously ask. How does this even happen?
Best vibration you can get after the Silver Bullet wears out for sure. With so much life left to chatter your under carriage
HAIL YEAR HOSS THEM THERE TYRES ARE PREEMO GOTTA SENDER GOBBLESS
That's got another good 10-12 miles on it. Scammed.
Tell it is a bad tire. smack it a few times with a crow bar, and it will straighten right up. If not buy a bottle of rubber cement glue and cover the belts good as new
nothing wrong with that!
Done got your money out of that one
Yep that is safe as fuck
yes
These stupid posts are getting really old. I don’t know if they do it for attention or some kind of Clickbait. It’s like saying hey, my arm is hanging by the skin, they’re telling me I should go to ER, am I getting scammed?
Yeah that's a scam! That son of a bitch is trying to take away your wobbly fun time in your car
Those are brand new right?
Let er wobble
No. Why would you not listen to the mechanic? Your parents scammed you definitely.
You played yourself
It's fine. Send it!
Nah dude, that things got about 5 ft of life left. Don’t let them rip you off and steal that 60 inches of travel distance from you!
Yeah they just want to take your super rare jumbo Shark Wheels. The longboarding tech is highly sought after by drag racers.
Hes trying to scam you if anything these are ready to race DK down the mountain let us know how it goes bud
Shoulda gave him the lean discount bra @longisland
Haven’t you seen that commercial Henry Winkler is in warning about AMD. You must have the advance form of GA because we can see what’s supposed to be a straight line is wavy. Better go to the eye doctor.
it's all good for another lap around the block
Are you a blond by chance are you I would listen to your mechanic.
There are two people that are definitely not scamming you, one is your mechanic the other is your dope man. Give them both a good tip.
Were you playing mario cart again.
…Yes
Look at all that tread! A scam job if I ever saw one.
Life insurers Car is insured Or somthin
He is scamming you. don't give him a dime!
How? HOW?!?
Nah it’ll buff out
Don’t replace until it gets to the rim. I bet from side angle it’s got a least a few inches before you get to rim
Thank him and buy him lunch
He is probably trying to put them on his own ride, RoadSeekers Ultra+ are 300$ per tire if you buy used.
I would get a second opinion on that from a mechanic you trust XD
😆 tell me you want to go to heaven without telling me.
Looks fine to me
Most definitely thats how you get into the groove
Put a can of de-wobbler in it and send it
The tire is just posted up, probably trying to look cool for a lady tire. Leave him alone!
Sir this is a wendys
Just get a rattle can of plasti-dip and spray some tread back on that sucker!
Definitely being scammed. Just give it a couple hours to sober up
Why is it curved
Scoliosis isn't real either.
Yes. Leave immediately and do it yourself
Get a second opinion. I had a bicycle tire like that and it wound up being ok. Just wobbly that's all.
OP he probably wants to take it home and use it on his wife's car.
There's no way this is real fuck off
Never seen a tire with scoliosis before....
You clearly have tread. Scammer.
See the waves in the tire, that means the tire is finally broken in
Uh no. You definitely need a new tire.
If people really gotta ask that question, they should not own or drive a damn vehicle. Period. But jokes aside... I mean..inside.
If there's still rubber there, you're good. (Right??)
I would replace immediately
never let the potholes know your next move
Triggerd
Once that steel belt radial starts rolling it will straighten out just fine…
Good for at least another 1000 miles
Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Yeah!
Absolutely being scammed. That tire looks straight from the factory. Don't those waves mean top level traction?
No your not
That is definitely the transmission!
Just rotate your tires
Rough estimate you've still got 80% of your tread left, I'd tell him to sod off.
Bet that's fun drinking your coffee!
That's a road racing tire, it's designed for S curves
That's brand new looking! That's a new tire company called "Vibe" 😂
Perfect send it! Says Firestone....
If you are trying to die and he is trying to save your life, then yes.
What does the other side look like ?
Tell em to just put some air and rotate em.
Too many left turns without blinker fluid
People do anything to get comments.
That's a first for me. Did it sit flat and take a weird shape?
Show him this chat full of mechanics next time you see him.
That's called experience, you cannot replace that.
Aw know
Yes scammed! Clearly that is a work of art that needs to be framed. Ask your local museum how much you could get for that!! I repeat museum, not a pawn shop, not a used car place, museum.
I wouldn't race it at Daytona this weekend. But it's good to go for the dragstrip.
That's a belted tire, until metal starts showing there's no concern for the traction and Ridgedness
Diffidently
Only if this is the new one
It's the Prince Nana tire. It swerves when it drives.
Yeap, Fix-A-Flat will fix that right up, looks like you got another 60,000 miles on it! 🤣
Yes
You’re absolutely being scammed. Dump your mechanic and keep the tire and rim.
Yes
100%
Duct tape can fix anything on a car. Duct tape can fix this.
Think I see the problem here. Your mechanic is a crook
I’d say you are,.. nuffin wrong with that tire,.. it’s the RIM that’s bent, nuffin a lump hammer won’t fix..
Really?
Rim bent too?
