I win for most worn tires...

If there was a competition, I would win. This is not from a burnout, but from daily driving. I have been checking the tires often, as there is no tread left. Checked this morning, and I must've been parked on the bad spot for the last while.

Needless to say, car is parked until I get a new set. 69,807km on these factory tires, since 2014.

More pics to come when I peel these ones off the wheels...

It'll probably be worse after sitting in the sun too. That was first thing in the morning.

I cant believe it didn't blow on my last trip...

Sourced new tires locally, going to be on next week.

I fail to understand why ANYBODY would pay this much money for a performance car and let tires of all things get to this point, and then show off your negligence on the net like you want an award. Its funny how even guys in the ghetto know better as evidenced by 5k worth of rims and tires on a $500 car. I guess to each his own, Ehh.

That should not have been on the road with that much wear. That puts everyone else at risk.

That is not from daily driving....there is zero evidence of tread left....the tread has been worn off evenly.

This IS from daily driving. The "rubber" on the edge of the paint is recently removed Plasti Dip. The tire is not worn evenly, this spot is the worst. Other side still has a slight amount of tread left. My new tires are on their way to me, and just in case you didn't read the OP, the car is NOT being driven like this. I limped home form where it was parked, to ensure everyone else's safety.

Looks like it's only to the first belt. White-trash rule number 346.51 chapter 42, says it can get all the way to the 6th or 7th belt before it need replacement. You are WELL within spec.

Yeah, no you don't.

I work at BMW. Most of our new cars come with runflat tires. At least once a week, I see a customer roll in to "reset" the TPMS. Yeah, the TPMS light is on because they've worn THROUGH their tires, and are only rolling on the tire shoulder.

I have a full set of my original PZero's dismounted and ready to sell if you need some good used tires.
And I'm about an hour North of you in Orillia.
Give you a great deal.
Only used 1 summer, 90% tread left

Don't tell me you drove those tires in Canadian winter a few months ago? I'm from Canada as well, and that would have been just completely nuts.
