Figured out why my tires are bald

Took a bit to figure it out, but I now know why my tires are bald.

Brilliant! They're not bald, you have just "redistributed" the rubber to the pavement.

Did try the warranty route, couldn't convince the service manager that the tires were no good. Oh well, can't win them all��
