They look bald as well as bold! Did he not watch the F1 GP this morning.

What an arsehole driving with tyres like that!! Hope he doesn't carry his little darlings with him in that car.

Selfish.

Thats really really scary... Idiot!

CraigUK · 04-19-2009, 02:01 PM

should have took a photo of his number plate too and sent them both to the rozzers. Driving with tyres like that is an outrage, deserves lots of points on his licence!!!

PeteJ · 04-19-2009, 02:05 PM

As i understand it, its £1000 plus 3 points for every tyre

Should not be on the road, never understand why people let their pride and joys like that

At some point we've probably all left it a little longer than we should to change tires but that is just utterly taking the piss.

yer that is taking the piss.. it must have been noticeable for ages!

I have left mine to the legal limit so I still have the deep grooves even if the larger blocks have no pattern left (but they are legal!) to get as low as above means long term abuse and no care for car maintenance or public safety!

That is a complete piss take!

What a muppet he must have noticed the handling/braking performance of the car...look like F1 slicks!
