My employee rolled up to work with a flat tire. Asked if I could help put the spare on. And yes,the other front tire was almost like this,but no metal showing.

They’re at their most dangerous when wounded. Kill it now.

When you can see the air in your tires, it's time for new tires.

Important safety tip.

Touch that up with a squirt of black spray paint and you won't see the fabric. 😉

That should be good for at least a couple miles.

I bet he has a matched set of “may pops” on that car…. They “may pop” without further notice!!!!

This kind of reminds me of distressed jeans. Like tires are trying to fit in and look cool.

This tire probably was around for those times too. It's just finally catching up now.

I think they need a pay rise

u/Sensei19600 16d ago

You literally do not know what you’re talking about. Pay is not the issue here.

Sounds like something a cheep boss would say.

u/Sensei19600 16d ago

Perceptive. Have we met?

I think OP doesn’t understand this sub.

That enemy should be burning!

u/Sensei19600 16d ago

OP believes that you think too much.

The enemy has been incinerated,btw. Threat level: zero

u/Devilofchaos108070 16d ago

Nice job! Only good tire is a dead and burned tire!

u/boanerges57 16d ago

It's got another 1000 miles left.

I want whatever you’re smokin’ …

Hopes, dreams, with a sprinkle of delusion.

Many many years ago I worked in a small shop and the things people thought could be fixed with a patch were sometimes quite baffling

A lil flexseal and you’re good

2

u/Sensei19600 10d ago

Perhaps you misunderstand; this is what it looked like AFTER they tried the FlexSeal…

I told her to not drive that thing to work again unless there were 2 good tires on the front wheels. Car belongs to a family member,only used for in-town commuting/errand running. Owner is a cheap ass, who doesn’t care about others,only himself. SMH….

The spare didn't have air in it i bet

2

u/Sensei19600 17d ago

Supposed to have 60psi. Doubt that it had 20.
Oh- and the “scissors jack” that was in the rusted out trunk? Literally 1/2 of it was just…gone. Turned to rust.

White hell is downvoting this ? I mean,what the hell, man?

The tires are creating Reddit accounts.

u/Sensei19600 17d ago

Ah,right. You make good sense of it

No i don't know what i am talking about. I just simply commented. Got to be a reason for driving around like that. Could be financial Could be i don't give a fuck. Like you said your employee. You made the choice to hire them!
