It's just too damn silly to drive a car on bad, or bald, tires. I replace them as needed or don't drive. It's a simple as that.

I have considered buying new rims, and if I bought a set used and it came with good rubber I'd use them. If not, I'd replace them.

While in the UK visiting friends, I helped with driving his car to get it M.O.T.'d and I'll have to agree with poster Bruce Wayne,they are dead serious in the UK!

The Minister Of Transportation is not universally liked and many are quick to point out that he does not even own an auto!

Lol, well I just came up with a great Inport business plan..... now to get around the missing DOT serial #s on all these tires

I am in the replace them when they get under 2/32 tread depth on any two adhacent grooves (long way).

It rains a lot more here on the East Coast than it does on sun soaked West Coast.
