Do I need new tires? (Pics included)

[reiobard]

needing new tires is an understatement, the tires get dangerous when you can see the cords, those are what are holding the insides (air) in...

Would you consider getting a video camera, and doing a burnout till it just pops? That would be hella cool, sparks and all if you do it at night.

Just take the rear wheel to the shop and say its your friends wheel. Seriously. LOL LOL LOL

Its all good man, glad you learned about tires now, and not after one more wreck.

Did you get the part about the rubber that is over the cords is there to hold the tread and not designed for wear resistance or grip on pavement?

I have linked a 3 or 4 hour read on tires here several times. If you cant find it let me know in pm. Tyres though cause the dude is British.
