I'm not proud to admit it, but that is pretty close to how my tires were last week. I finally swapped them out, but even with my employee discount i was looking at almost $700 for a set of four. Tires are expensive, and you often dont realize how bad they have gotten until it is too late. Even finding used tires is difficult these days.

That being said, going from exposed wires to fresh tires is amazing. I got in my car and immediately noticed i was sitting 3 inches higher, and it's wonderful driving a car that actually grips the road instead of just sitting on top of them.

700$!? Where are you located that tires are this expensive? Here in Austria they are between 40€-80€ per 1 tire.

I paid $700 2 years ago for tires for my SUV. SUV tires are a bit more expensive - but they’re still not cheap for sedans. I’m in the USA.

Lol. Why pay extra for an SUV? It's like throwing money away. You can easily get sedan tires under $100.

For all those wandering if these are slick (racing) tires, it doesn't look like it. You can clearly see the grooves worn out (bottom left) and the threads through the rubber on the left, indicating extremely worn out tires. I'm curious though as to how anyone would get their tires in this shape before a safety inspection would have made it mandatory to change them.
