could have been stolen and thats why the tyre is like that.

If not, then yeah, probably insurance is void, its not road worthy

It's dry though, racing slicks are best for that weather . On a tyre related note, my Mrs had her fiesta mot'd yesterday (at kwok fit). Advised rears might need changing. Checked this morning and they're between 4 and 5mm. They either want the business or measured onto of the wear markers.

That's just the standard for them. You take new pads in and they will say dangerously low.

What would being stolen have anything to do with the tyres like that?

And especially the fronts... Like that?

Looks like a considerable period of neglect to get that bad. No wonder they crashed. Also, if stolen, I'd expect the police would have recovered it fairly quickly.

Anyone driving around in a car with tyres like that deserves everything they get tbh, zero sympathy.

Probably swapped them round with the backs to "even" the wear out.

Aquaplaned in all that heavy rain and crashed probably. So many people buy a car and only change tyres (and brakes) when it fails an MOT :/

Stolen, used to do burnouts and crashed.

You're gonna need to explain how burnouts in an RWD car can result in front tyres looking like that.

They should have definitely invested in one of these...

Bms usually run a staggered setup

Because if a car is stolen its usually a careful lady driving it, right?

It's a RWD car, it'll take some doing to get the front tyres looking like that.

Yea they are :/

Even less reason to buy one. They are a comical amount of money for what they are too
