TÜV sagt nein.
DEKRA vielleicht?
Wenn der Preis stimmt…
Breaking through the flat rubber to find the secret second layer of tread
The bottom layer is better. Steel belts are stronger than rubber.
Brb, I’m snuggling with my cozy tires
Don’t look, they’re still all chained up from earlier. Things got rough
Nice hairy mold
being a car barber was my dream
*a carber
I rate you 8/10. I am a carber-rater.
These are the same people who drive with paper-thin, or even fully rusted off, brake rotors. And then they yell at the mechanics for “upselling them” on brake maintenance.
I firmly believe that brakes should be the absolute last thing to fail on a car. The tires can rupture, the steering shatter, and the car snapped in two, but I must be able to bring the remaining wreckage to a stop.
Sure, whatever you say guy who definitely isn’t a shady up-selling mechanic
How can something called a brake, break?
That obviously just makes it more brake
I am both laughing my cock off and wanting to smash the downvote button in sheer rage because I can just see this being an actual conversation.
And this is why I am so grateful for the yearly inspections for cars in my country. You still have idiots driving, but at least their vehicles will be somewhat safe.
Meh, the whole thing needs maintenance.
Brakes won’t do shit when all the tires are flat and you just lock up the wheels. Or when your tie rod end snaps and the car veers off the freeway faster than anyone can react to press the brakes.
It’s so fluffy we’re guna die
These are so cute, I would even describe them as “so cute they’re to die for”
Give your fluffy tires a hug!! 🤗
Definitely got their money’s worth out of the tires…
“I payed for the full tire so we gonna use the full tire!”
My shits F L U F F Y
Amongst many, my biggest question is: why does it have tiny wheels on the roof?
Afaik it looks ai generated so… Nobody knows, not even the ai most likely
Not sure why the down votes. You’re correct I used chat gpt to generate it
I just downvote anybody who says that something looks AI-generated unless they have a good reason.
The anime character’s (the one on the hood) pigtails have pigtails
Sounds pretty anime
Also the Toyota logo is messed up
And the photo is a square, the default for most ai image generation.
There are wheels on the roof
So that should it end up rolling onto it’s roof it can still win the street race

What the fuck, delete this immediately. This is a threat.
Everyone should have to pass a basic automotive knowledge course before getting their driver’s license.
For the driver licence in France there is questions like that:
- how to recognize a worn tire
- where to find the right tire pressure
- check the oil level of the engine
- check the brake liquid level …
Wow, trick questions on it too? Brakes are a pad, not a liquid
Heat them up enough and they become liquid.
In new Zealand, the only question is what the best Fast an Furious movie was.
People can’t do this?
Jesus christ I’m losing faith in the average capability of humanity
I lost it during covid, permanently. And I’m not joking. I saw things.
I mean Americans build straight parking lots since they drive sequential/automate
It’s in the driving course. They just only include two or three questions.
In my province (Manitoba) there is zero basic vehicle knowledge provided in the Driver’s Handbook which is where test questions are pulled from.
Everyone should have a universal basic income!
In the long run, some renters wind up paying twice as much for their tires as they would have paid if they’d bought them outright.
Would only do that if you’re desperate. I’d bet 10:1, the tires in OP result from poverty.
PS: you’re not wrong!
Or, alternatively, we should build cities where owning a car isn’t a requirement to hold down a job, and keep piloting a two ton death machine as a privilege, not a right
Jesus, at $20/mo you would pay for a full set of the (expensive) OEM tires on my car in less than a year. They’re warrantied for 3 years of standard mileage, so even worse than double.
I got my license in Sweden and there are laws for when you must have summer tires and winter tires as well as how deep the pattern needs to be. This is all covered in the writing portion of the test. It’s quite possible that someone driving with wheels like that might get their license suspended at the least.
Yes it’s illegal to drive on tires with worn out patterns. I thought it was the same everywhere in the civilized world.
it is. you’re correct.
us Americans, we seem to like to swerve deftly around many such useful civil universalities.
things you’d assume are vital to a peaceful, comfortable, safe people are often things that seem to baffle us.
i think this repeated swerving should disabuse anyone of any notion of the USA being a civilized nation, but somehow people keep classifying us as better than we are. lived here my whole life… not sure how someone could make that mistake, honestly. not unless they were really rich, I guess.
One big part is because of Hollywood. The entire world image of America comes from movies.
Once you start to look into the prison system, the justice system, the financial system… Well, nothing actually builds on any feeling of caring about its citizens at all.
TIL America is not civilized anymore.
Never has been.
*draws gun*
Hairy isn’t a pattern?
This, plus mandatory retesting every 5 years. New traffic signal’s & infrastructure, aging drivers, changing eyesight, refresher learning, etc
That’s not a thing where you live?
At least where I live, the licensing test covers rules of the road, not automotive knowledge. I think this commenter was referring to some test covering very surface-level knowledge of vehicles, with a focus on ways to tell if a car is unasafe to drive.
I’m in Sweden, we get two big books of just theory stuff. There are entire sections on how deep the patterns must be, when you are allowed to use what type of tyres (summer, friction, studded), etc. along with what consequences there are.
You must have winter tyres between the 1st of December and the 31st of March, so long as there may be snow or ice on the roads. Studded tires are only allowed between the 1st of October through to the 15th of April as they wear down the roads and cause excessive pollution.
There is so much general car knowledge. Warning lights, optimal tyre pressure (which is variable depending on your car and the load), how to drive in an eco-friendly manner, child seats, it never fucking ends.
holy shit, my book was like 50 pages total, mostly about what signs meant.
Oh the signs are in different books.
That’s what I was trying to convey but obviously failed at. :/
Fluffy!
Probably helps with traction too!
