Default are my bfg drag radials done?

there is very little tread in the middle of the tire, but on the sides toward the sidewall there is still a lot of tread. I just wasn't sure if they are still good to drive on because I haven't had them on for long at all.

run them with less tire pressure, the middles are worn cause of too much tire pressure.

Order new tires, not BFG's. They suck, and don't last at all. You will get more hook and miles out of MT dr's.

My BFG's DR's lasted about 2,000 miles and looked worse than those. I didn't race on them either just on the street and I don't drive like a maniac.

Ummm... That's no tread at all and almost no tread at all...

As far as pressure, take whatever you were running and maybe drop 3-5 psi off of it if it was wearing unevenly. From the pictures it looks like they were actually wearing about like they should. You will probably save yourself money in the long run if you get a seperate set of 2 wheels for DR's and run normal street tires on the street, especially if this is your DD.
