Default 3 popped tires

woke up to the rest of my tires being popped.

they didnt really explode like the first one but needless to say they cant hold air and they have almost ZERO tread.

i didnt think it would be this bad, ive driven on bald tires alot (more than tires with tread actually haha)

needless to say im out atleast $400+ now

-end rant

believe me i dont burn these man its just the heat up here recently has been in the near 100's.

i bought the car with them on it atleast 6 months ago

i'd say ive done pretty well for what they were (maybe 5% tread???)

hopefully new tires and a balance will make my car ride alot better than it was. now i know why the wheel used to shake violently....
