You know things are bad when you cannot afford tyres for your AMG SLK 55 Merc.

He probably has no idea about his tyres, that what services are for.

God Damn!!! No wonder we have a road toll. I'll be busted by Constable Kodak for the heinous crime of doing 63km/h in a 60km/h zone while that knob in the Merc will keep driving with tyres in that condition and never be booked. Then they'll have a blowout and who knows what may happen then.
If I were a copper and saw that I'd throw the book at them!!

I wish I could have thrown the book at him/her! Steel belts hanging out on the inside of the tyre, and they were parked in the home delivery spot at the local supermarket. Perhaps they were doing the home deliveries as extra income to pay for new tyres???

Should have done him a favour and shoved a screwdriver in the sidewall. Not only would he have to get new tyres, he wouldnt park there again.
Win, Win.

Unbelievable,
he must be doing some serious trashing of the car, skidding and stuff. If he doesn't fix it soon, the tyre won't hold the pressure and will blow- and according to Murphy's law it will happen at 100+ km/h on a busy street

Then they'll have a blowout and police will claim speed was a factor and place another stealth tax collection machine there. |

Thanks Government for the death of my mates young son the other week, killed by an in experienced person in the wet. There are things police could do to prevent these things that a camera cannot SURPRISE! Sorry tired and annoyed and sick of governments. |
