Default Are these tires worn out yet?

You Think? I want a set of stock chrome wheels, then put some new tires on them. Where is the best place to get a set of wheels? Which tire is most popular now? I am thinking of the Michelin runflats this time. Want to stay with a run flat.

close but not quite, you are at 6/32" so, they are worn out but, at that tread depth you will find less hydroplaning resistance

worn out = below 4/32"

They're worn out when they have 0/32" tread.

Damn, Luke! Are you really that desperate to sell tires?

Check out the Khumo MX RXP runflats. I just sold a set. Really liked them for a runflat tire, but I needed to go to bigger tires due to bigger brakes. Tirerack had them for a great price.
