Remember that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in the sidewall of my unknown coworker’s car? Most of you agreed that I should leave a note, which I did. A couple of you suggested that it wasn’t worth my time, because they obviously won’t listen. I honestly thought that no good would come of it, but today I parked next to the car, and I saw a full set of brand new tires! Somebody listened! YAYYYY!!!!!

Nice. I missed the first thread, but at first glance that looks like primarily damage to the rim protection strip that a lot of low-pro tires use now. I wouldn’t replace it on my personal vehicle except for cosmetic reasons. The family car, probably just to be safe.

No no no, the adhesive will never hold.

Use a staple gun.

It astonishes me how some people just don’t care about their tires. It’s the car’s only contact with the road. Depending on the circumstances, a blowout could be life-altering.

They leave the rim as is?

Wow that's actually pretty good on them for getting a set. Let's start an Oppo poll on how long the new tires last!

Yep. All four rims have a major case of curb rash.

They probably repaired the tires so quickly because 1 they were sick of hearing about it or 2 they do this all the time hahaha

No, that’s from whacking into curbs.

I think they actually do care about their car, because they always back into a spot way in the corner of the lot, they just obviously suck at parallel parking.

I cannot for the life of me understand how people curb rash their wheels so badly.

I parallel park in downtown chicago all the time, it is not that hard.

What do they do, when they feel a little resistance of the tire hitting the curb just mash the throttle and hope for the best?!

Some people don’t care, but some people it isn’t so much a matter of caring, as they are bad at spacial reasoning and/or the hand-eye coordination in takes to parallel park. I think this person is in the latter category, because they seem to care about their car. It’s a black car that is rarely dirty, and they always back into a spot way in the corner of the parking lot.

Maybe I’m just being saved by manuel, because I frequently bump the curb but have yet to get any damage.
