I didn’t realize tire was that bad. And I was not bragging. I was just sharing what I did wrong. I knew it was getting close and I had new ones ordered for next week anyways. I made a mistake and I realized it. Luckily for me and others it didn’t turn into disaster.
Good that you realize the mistake. That tire was bald, and had no tread. You are a lucky man.

Glad to here your ok, but u knew the tire was getting close. I would guess that, your tire was getting close 3000 mile ago.
Close to 300 miles since yesterday. On my way to test battery blew up rear tire half way to a dealer that is 150 miles away. First tow in 45k miles. Both my tires had 25k miles on them and I was going to change them next week anyways. Lesson learned - never neglect maintenance. Should have put new tires last season.
You spent money putting LED turn signals on but run a piece of crap tire like that 80mph? Wow. Let me guess the LED’s were for safety LOL!
You are very lucky. Takes a big man to admit his mistakes. I would suggest you take some time and educate yourself on tire wear indicators and how to find them in the tread pattern. There are several around the circumference of the tire be sure to check them all and inspect them regularly. There are triangles on the side wall that will point you to where those indicators are located.
Hopefully this whole experience has taught you that trying to squeak a few extra miles out a set of tires really isn’t worth the risk.
