What have you done to your car today?

I don't see your point? Tyres had plenty of tread before setting out on a long euro trip, obviously they are going to be worn down on the way back and are being changed as soon as they have been delivered?

Evidently they didn't or they wouldnt have resembled racing slicks before the end of the trip
Unless it was a drift day...no it doesn't.
Those tyres must've been near the legal limit before you even set off.
Well a drifting event wasn't on the cards, but being RWD going sideways at all opportunities was a given.
Someone said you shouldn't drive them on the roads, you replied with 'Who said anything about driving them on the road' and then admitted in your next post that you'd driven them on the road. That was my point. **EDIT** In fact, you didn't mention roads, more that you hadn't driven it with those tyres. Then admitted you had.
"Oh come on officer, these tyres had loads of tread when I bought them... well yes, the tread has worn away since..."
I wont lie, I find it worrying you don't see you've done anything wrong and sound like you'll happily run them that low on the next set.
You assume way to much in your posts.
I wouldn't say I've assumed anything. Everything I posted is based on what you've said in posts.
Clearly you think it's fine though, I'll just set you to ignore and we can move on.
You have to be a complete moron to drive on those tyres or tyres anywhere near that bad. I know me saying this won't change anything because my words are worthless, but seriously? You have to be ****ing kidding! Come on dude...
I read a story on another forum about a guy who was killed in his BMW 330 because he had tyres like that and he lost control and went under a lorry. It only takes one time. He was on his way to visit family. Guess they didn't get to see him that day. Thankfully it was a lorry he hit and not someones car otherwise he could have killed or injured some innocent people.
I hope your licence gets taken away before you hurt anyone. I don't give a stuff about the legalities, I am ranting about the safety. Its not like it is a Peugeot 206 either so you have the potential to be carrying some serious speed when you come unstuck.
I drive a frigging 54HP Polo which is sporting nearly new PremiumContacts and RainSports.

Spending a few bob on mine this next couple of weeks, fresh new number plates, new Ford centre caps (35 quid for some bits of plastic!), front tyres and it's in the bodyshop from Sunday for a near on full hit and wheel refurb/repaint also.
If I need advise how to crash on a country road I'll be sure to give you a call first
With tyres like that, you don't need my advice. You'll find out how it's done soon enough.

Thought you were changing it for a 1 Series? You won't get any of that back come resale sadly.

This is what's stopping me getting the front end of mine resprayed - £600 that I'll never see back when I inevitably move it on in less than a years time.
You're probably better knocking most of the money off your asking/expected trade in
