Just noticed a co-workers JKU is muddy...good for him...then I looked closer....

Then I think...was he just out mudding? or just trying to cross a grassy field with those sweet racing slicks he’s got there. Best part?

No spare. I already checked to see if it was being used in place of another wheel..not that I can tell, all the tires look equally trashed. lets hope all the mud is walking distance to help.

Don’tcha know, tires are ‘spensive?

Tires ARE spensive, but walking home sucks.

And wrecking into other people because of your shitty tires sucks most of all.

Typical of vehicles bought more for thier “Style” than practicality. They’re probably maxing out their paychecks making the payments, and didn’t think to budget for consumables, especially the expensive ones like big knobby off-road tires.

Jeeps, trucks, performance cars.... people want them to look good, so they pay that little extra.

Now your sensible person in their Camry? They ain’t rolling on slicks.

Wrecks are even more spensive than tires.

I would peg that as bat guano before I called it mud. Our mud down here is too red. He clearly has bats living in his wheelwells.

Are you in a yearly safety inspection state?

That would explain that terrible screeching. I was worried it was his brakes.

Definitely a Jeep thing.

I have a friend with a Jeep, his tires are always crap/bald/CL finds.

depends on the year.

I wish CO would take the time to do at least a basic safety check. There’s so many cars here with less than 1/8" tread and 0-1 functioning brake lights.

Oh god the brake lights piss me off. GRRRR.

As much as I hate having to get my car inspected every year, negligent people like this are exactly why it is a law.

One of the reasons why M/T’s aren’t a great tire for a highway wrangler.

Suprised those even threw mud.. might have put it on there by hand.

Oh, that’s not mud. He drove into the chimp preserve.

Ya know, I wonder how many Jeep owners don’t even know how to stick their cars into 4-wheel drive.

I hate when I see trucks/SUVs with AT or MT tires that are worn down to the nubs.

MTs on mostly-street-driven vehicles here in WI are especially dumb since MTs kinda suck in the snow. Well, at braking, at least.

low range? you mean like 1st gear?

You know it drives like shit on bald tires too. That’s just being lazy.

It is not, but I’m willing to bet they sell crap tires back and forth every 6 months.

Anyone who pays extra for a Jeep for the looks needs to be run over in a parking lot by an inattentive Camry driver.

BTW a new Camry and a new Wrangler have about the same MSRP.

80 inch wheelbase!

Also, that landing must have hurt.

Yeah, that’s not a confidence inspiring face on the driver.
