LOL, I have run tires so bald my friends used to ask me if I was running Mickey Thompsons! I would say all of you got your moneys worth out of your tires but the risk vs. the reward is not worth it. Trust me from experience a blowout can cost you much more than the cost of buying new tires. Then theres the wet rainy day problem of fishtailing and the scare the **** out of you hydroplane!! If you havent experienced that problem yet just trust me........ you will never run your tires bald again.

Yeah I was having dinner at Hooters with some buddies. One of them brought along his dad's 50th ann Z06. After the food we went for a quick run and when I powershifted into 3rd the tires completely let loose and the car fishtailed violently side to side. There was an 8 inch high barrier (center divider) on my left side and the z06 was a little bit behind me on the right side. Close call. My Firehawk stayed parked for over a month before I drove it again. Shame to wreck a nice car.

The tires I posted pics of were the same tires I ran my E.T. in the sig. on. They had little more tread than that, but not much.
