Cruising back from BRMS at my usual pace, the high performance drag slick on the driver's rear let go and I spun once before kissing the guard rail. Good stuff.

None of the tires were bald. They were shitty, but not bald. The driver's rear looked like it was barely dry rotted, and it sheared all of the tread off the belt. There's still an inch of tread before it seperated that shows it was at 60% tread or better.
-
good to hear that you are ok. good luck on the next project :yes:
-
That sucks JD. Im glad to hear your not hurt.
-
well played on the no injuries there ol wise bald one :-*
-
Shit, glad you're not hurt and walked away with no injuries. I hope you atleast got yourself checked at the hospital?

Why?
-
You never know if something might've happened internally that you weren't aware of. We don't need you dieing yet, JD :P
-
Damn that sucks... Probably was an exciting ride... If you didnt mind trading out the complete car harness and maybe a lil interior trim I might could round up a hatch or something for next to nothing... when i say nothing i mean like for the price it would bring at the crusher or maybe less . Just all depends. Of course you are like 3 to 3.5 hrs away from me though.
-
Sue yourself
-
good job not dying yo

I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to field my 88 STD and after that I'm out of the FWD Honda game. S2000, Miata, SC300/400, IS300, something else.
With how long I seem to hold onto cars the STD will last me until 2012. :-\

I duno bout the states, but up here they now have laws stating the usable ages of tires. I forget how many years it is, but it's illegal to run any tire older than what the allotted time limit is.
Good to see your ok.

VA says you have to have a certian amount of tread left. I have to swap out the old Baldinis whenever I go for an inspection.
-
There's no born on date on American tires, sir. Or do they require you to keep purchase receipts, and go by that?

There is a born on date now since that whole firestone/explorer debacle. It just isnt widely enforced.
3/32" is the limit, but in NC its really up to the inspector whether to pass it or not. Cops only enforce tire tread rules on big vans and semi's here.
-
i've never heard of someone getting a ticket for bald tires
i have personally been failed twice on inspection for such infractions
