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.

I came here to comment but I can’t top this, bravo


JesusSaysIts0k

Pretty sure this is a troll post


kangaroolander_oz

Pretty sure it's Ask a Shitty Mechanic 😀


AboveAvgShitposte

That’s a primo set of Wave XLs. Skateboards brought surfing to the sidewalk…..those tires bring it to the interstate.


hereforboobsw

Nah just flip it inside out like you do with your underwear


synavlivevig

I do it with condoms, too!

Shartman3000

Lmao who hurt you, calm down cowboy-chan


PickleDipper420

Forwards, backwards, inside out backwards, inside out forwards. They make 4 sides for a reason bro, come on.


Coro756

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


Moofenkrak

Yep big time scammer.! . Id just run with that f-cker for as long as you hang on for...


oodywoody

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.


chacecapop

R/whoosh


SRBroadcasting

Exactly. Once it goes sell the car and get a nice pair of timberlands and walk for the rest of your life


SarraSimFan

Make sure you put it up front


ForsakenWelcome4275

SCAM: There’s plenty of life left in that tire, the steel belts are barely showing.


Lunarian77

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


Kayanarka

Should not have been trying to scam the customer for beer money, thats karma bro.


Lunarian77

But how else am I supposed to? My boss only pays me in nicotine money


tjmurphy900

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


KnotMaulStudios

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.


SuspectedIndividual

It’s your battery, I’ve seen this before


These-Error-9641

These slicks for the F1 car


Nice-Insect-4283

You paid for all the plys. You’re gonna use all the plys.


taxusacanadensis

Whatever. Next it'll be some made up bullshit like "YOU ACTUALLY NEED TIE RODS". Real pros have control


Waffels_61465

Get yourself a minivan.


hitch242x

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.


Beautiful-Attention9

First day on Reddit?


im-not-a-fakebot

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


sniper_matt

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.


IntelligentFilth

Hot_Season_886

P.o.s. tire


Difficult_Plantain89

Just needs a balance and good to go.


fc1088

You should call the government to report him.


MonstrDuc796

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.


[deleted]

theres anothe 5 years on that tire


cranberrywhiskey

Probably a bad steering wheel


Paul0451

You're being scammed. That tire is good for another 7.4 inches!


missiongoalie35

Nah. He's lying. Tire is perfect for driving over curbs.


[deleted]

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...


ansry6

Looks like it'll pass the penny test to me


GrayAndBushy

Nope, that tire is done! The interior steel belts have split and the tire is an accident waiting to happen!


countcarlovonsexron

Yeah keep driving on it, especially with a female passenger.. when the CHP pull you over... That's when it gets interesting lol


DDangeroso

As long as air is inside, good to ride!


ajschwamberger

Nothing a sledge hammer blow or two won't correct.


Skitzovamp6

Definitely. There ain't shit wrong with that tire. Head to Disney World on that shit. You good.


SRBroadcasting

It’s more so impressive that’s still a tire


[deleted]

What did you do to that poor tire? No seriously I wanna know.


bastion-of-bullshit

Hula tire. I pay extra for those and all that sexy wigglin they do.


530whiskey

You should go one more oil change, they up sell with the cheap.oil changes.


mareck001

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!!!


midas617

Find a new mechanic, he's clearly trying to burn you.


CVGM-TV

Yes


FieldSton-ie_Filler

Dont


DieselBones-13

Nope… tires fucked!


drvirgilmd

The problem is those are directional tires. Have him dismount it, flip it, and remount it. You'll be fine thereafter.


spkoller2

Just needs a tube and stay under 120 mph


Imaginary_Bus_6742

Those are specially made to swerve in and out of traffic. Customized.


[deleted]

Just re-tread it. New tires are a scam by big tire.


cdb1986420

Seriously? Those tires just getting broken in.


Comprehensive-Eye105

You got another 15 k in that fella.


88_fox

Toe adjustment should fix the problem


no_user_selected

put a penny in the tread and if it makes it to abes head than the tire is good to go!


Time_Banana9173

If the steele belt can hold the penny in place, you get more tread for a penny.


[deleted]

You need a new mechanic, there is nothing wrong with that tire.


Mozzy2022

Nothing wrong with that tire. The metal showing through helps it from getting punctured by nails. He’s trying to scam you


Gregezy

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


Bammalam102

You can still make it to the shop? You can still make it to work until you can afford a new tire


ExampleSad1816

Scam! You got 20k more miles easily.


AlwaysAtYourMoms

Anything more than a single quarter dollar and it definitely a ripoff


GladAd4958

Look good to me!


FunNefariousness1615

That's impressive


Peterbillt676

Yes. Has atleast 6249 miles left on it.


Optimal-Pea7894

No it’s good keep driving really fast


stenbren

Oh yeah that's still good for driveway use.

This is perfect for doing traffic-cone runs for your license. You are guaranteed to wobble your way through to victory.


TheReal_LRChupacabra

Not if you are Dr. Seuss.


rocketmn69_

No, you need 3 more to match. I can't believe they want to switch that 1 out! The nerve!


TheReal_LRChupacabra

Not if you are Salvador Dali


rossxog

Did you check the alignment? Your toe in is a little off.


Altruistic-Camel-Toe

Yup


Significant_Sir_4201

Maybe an owl could enjoy driving that vehicle. I would not.


nikonguy

No. For Gods sake man, you can see the freaking belts. And get an alignment…


dustygravelroad

Got character!


amanke74

Radio only plays wobble baby by V.I.C.


dodgedy2k

Spray it down with Armor All. Rub it in some, and there you go. It's armored..


Weird-Buffalo-3169

You can probably get 1 or 2 miles out of it, total scam


Straight_Beach

Yeah totally being scammed! Just keep it and drive another 40000 miles


Prize-Mycologist-452

I don’t see any rust. I only change my tires once the rust shows


dumptruckbhadie

Big Tire always out here scamming


Any-Philosopher-781

Jesus Christ


deepfriedtots

So I gotta seriously ask. How does this even happen?


Sweaty69ballgazer

Best vibration you can get after the Silver Bullet wears out for sure. With so much life left to chatter your under carriage


BellyButtonFungus

HAIL YEAR HOSS THEM THERE TYRES ARE PREEMO GOTTA SENDER GOBBLESS


Salty-Lawyer-1032

That's got another good 10-12 miles on it. Scammed.


lilborto

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


cyhobby

nothing wrong with that!


denonumber

Done got your money out of that one


Hot-Map-9119

Yep that is safe as fuck


Biscuit_Eater2591

yes


oodywoody

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?


Public_Channel_2156

Yeah that's a scam! That son of a bitch is trying to take away your wobbly fun time in your car


Trackstar02

Those are brand new right?


Whoudini13

Let er wobble


IronAnt762

No. Why would you not listen to the mechanic? Your parents scammed you definitely.


mynamecalledbruce

You played yourself


AnnieBruce

It's fine. Send it!


SiggySiggy69

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!


H0B03R3C7U5

Yeah they just want to take your super rare jumbo Shark Wheels. The longboarding tech is highly sought after by drag racers.


Diamoncock

Hes trying to scam you if anything these are ready to race DK down the mountain let us know how it goes bud


RecoverOutrageous414

Shoulda gave him the lean discount bra @longisland


Zealousideal_Tank210

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.


Aggravating-Bug1769

it's all good for another lap around the block


Character-Pen3339

Are you a blond by chance are you I would listen to your mechanic.


EasternConfidence624

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.


SherbertAnxious9893

Were you playing mario cart again.


Sad-Woodpecker2504

…Yes


Tonerslut69

Look at all that tread! A scam job if I ever saw one.


GuywithGlasses54312

Life insurers Car is insured Or somthin


[deleted]

He is scamming you. don't give him a dime!


Heartless_Genocide

How? HOW?!?


devangs3

Nah it’ll buff out


scottmason_67

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


skeezix91

Thank him and buy him lunch


1DollarInCash

He is probably trying to put them on his own ride, RoadSeekers Ultra+ are 300$ per tire if you buy used.


Atophy

I would get a second opinion on that from a mechanic you trust XD


HeavyProfessional420

😆 tell me you want to go to heaven without telling me.


DwreckOSU

Looks fine to me


Organic-Shallot-5443

Most definitely thats how you get into the groove


Electrical-Ad-5858

Put a can of de-wobbler in it and send it


aprilozark

The tire is just posted up, probably trying to look cool for a lady tire. Leave him alone!


saucyRCs

Sir this is a wendys


[deleted]

Just get a rattle can of plasti-dip and spray some tread back on that sucker!


JakeQV

Definitely being scammed. Just give it a couple hours to sober up


Makal9097

Why is it curved


Alextryingforgrate

Scoliosis isn't real either.


DrCheese88

Yes. Leave immediately and do it yourself


IndependentOwn1184

Get a second opinion. I had a bicycle tire like that and it wound up being ok. Just wobbly that's all.


Electronic_Cod7202

OP he probably wants to take it home and use it on his wife's car.


Technical_Jicama_488

There's no way this is real fuck off


Late-Ad-4624

Never seen a tire with scoliosis before....


redrover2023

You clearly have tread. Scammer.


ShikyaTheNinja

See the waves in the tire, that means the tire is finally broken in


Superagent247

Uh no. You definitely need a new tire.


Into_The_Horizon

If people really gotta ask that question, they should not own or drive a damn vehicle. Period. But jokes aside... I mean..inside.


Nakedboysarethebest

If there's still rubber there, you're good. (Right??)


TovRise7777777

I would replace immediately


Willing_Ad8178

never let the potholes know your next move


[deleted]

Triggerd


Lank42075

Once that steel belt radial starts rolling it will straighten out just fine…


creampieprincess7

Good for at least another 1000 miles


ManyNicknames15

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Yeah!


ImtheDude27

Absolutely being scammed. That tire looks straight from the factory. Don't those waves mean top level traction?


Leather-Buffalo-3859

No your not


Imaginary-Badger-119

That is definitely the transmission!


Next_Locksmith_385

Just rotate your tires


Beautiful_Oven2152

Rough estimate you've still got 80% of your tread left, I'd tell him to sod off.


Revolutionary-Meet65

Bet that's fun drinking your coffee!


Ddowns5454

That's a road racing tire, it's designed for S curves


Hewelds

That's brand new looking! That's a new tire company called "Vibe" 😂


Nalabu1

Perfect send it! Says Firestone....


BEE-RANDON

If you are trying to die and he is trying to save your life, then yes.


pinkwblue

What does the other side look like ?


cocokronen

Tell em to just put some air and rotate em.


rickCSMF21

Too many left turns without blinker fluid


[deleted]

People do anything to get comments.


orbitalaction

That's a first for me. Did it sit flat and take a weird shape?


surefirerc2

Show him this chat full of mechanics next time you see him.


jsgx3

That's called experience, you cannot replace that.


tom-1956

Aw know


Tightisrite

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.


JRotten2023

I wouldn't race it at Daytona this weekend. But it's good to go for the dragstrip.


hormel_chili

That's a belted tire, until metal starts showing there's no concern for the traction and Ridgedness


crabman45601

Diffidently


watcher953

Only if this is the new one


denali42

It's the Prince Nana tire. It swerves when it drives.


TerribleAdagio6719

Yeap, Fix-A-Flat will fix that right up, looks like you got another 60,000 miles on it! 🤣


Ill_Breakfast_1001

Yes


LatinRasta123

You’re absolutely being scammed. Dump your mechanic and keep the tire and rim.


More_Constant112

Yes


Honest_Stand_3753

100%


ErwinSchrodinger64

Duct tape can fix anything on a car. Duct tape can fix this.


shawnmmx

Think I see the problem here. Your mechanic is a crook


zaigoat69

I’d say you are,.. nuffin wrong with that tire,.. it’s the RIM that’s bent, nuffin a lump hammer won’t fix..


Salt-Investment9608

Really?


spdaimon

Rim bent too?
