I said to him as he pulled out of the shop...

Yes, these are original 2002 tires on a 2003 Viper with 10k miles on it.

Yikes.

In Sherlock’s words, too much stupid in the room.

Probably okay if just driven in parades, but otherwise yikes, 15 year old tires on a viper.

The safest and most entertaining use of these tires is to generate some sweet, sweet 2002 smoke.

Nothing like some 2002-era Smoke

Do you think the owner hasn’t changed the tires out of cheapness or stupidity?

I assume they take pride in having “ everything original” on their car.

10000 miles on 220 threadwear on original tires on a viper.....

Story I got is that its a family heirloom , being handed down and was always garaged. Now someone drove it and it has issues..

Maybe it had less than 10000 miles...

“still on original tires”

“curb rash on wheels”

I’m shocked. SHOCKED!

Who woulda thunk it, a Dodge that sat for ten+ years would have electrical gremlins and oil leaks.

And worn out cracked 16 year old tires.

Just looked while it was up in the air... right rear is down to the wear bars. Others are getting just as bad. Cracks between the treads. YEESH.

Well I for one am shocked. I’m even more shocked when people bring in their old cars for smog and they failed. And it’s even worse because they only drove it a few hundred miles since the last smog. It’s SHOCKING!

why would some one leave such old tires on a car....plus 220 tread wear should be worn out by 10k miles .....

That gen Viper has aged pretty well I'd say.

seriously, i cant comprehend the reasoning for having the 3rd gens open from the nose instead of from the windshield, especially since they went back to opening the right way on 4th gens

They look doofy as fuck open, too, especially if you also have the trunk open at the same time.
