Default How long has anyone street driven on bald nitto DRs

Jus curious cuz i got my SS back and the nitto DRs on it are bald as @#$*
Ive driven it on the street maybe 10miles so far but dunno how much longer i should chance it or just not drive it till my new set comes in. What you folks think?

hell I drove a pair of mine till the steel mesh started showing
I wouldn't suggest going that far but my point is there is no reason to stop driving just be careful and order those new ones.

315/35 nitto DRs are ordered. I'm just anxious to get out and drive the SS now since i just got it back but didnt know if it'd be safe w/ the tires on it now. Thanks man!!!

i know its a lil dangerous but since i just got it back i have the urge to drive it & i hate havin to wait for new tires to do so. You think they'll be ok just putterin around town for another 100miles?
If not, guess i'll just have to be patient
Anyone else got any input?

Default bald tires

A tire can go bad at any time being new or old. You are really running a risk with bald tires. They may be alright for a while but just be careful because I know it's hard to just putt around when you got all that power under you. Take care

you have to ask yourself is it worth it. I mean if you get a flat or go flat and bend one of your rims. If it was me I would just wait till the tires got there, you have waited this long whats another couple of days.
