MT ET Street R condition?

[Prevail]

I don’t know much about gauging tread on drag tires since they look bald to me new anyways.

I’m 900whp so I need something decent

I saw these posted locally, 2023 date code. These still have life? Figured I’d pick them up since they can be had for $300

Experienced guys say when they feather up like that they are basically ruined. However, I’ve wondered if you can just drive on them a while and let that wear off. Just a theory. Those aren’t down to the wear bars yet though.

$300 too much, put that money towards a fresh set

Ok np I have 555r2s now, but kinda worried I messed them up by letting the car sit in the garage over winter. Feels bumpy now, I’ll try a balance and running them for a bit to see if it goes back to normal.

FWIW the et street r flat spot terribly. I mean like in a few hours, but they smooth out after just a couple of miles.

Looks like a decent sized chunk out of the tire in the pic (near the edge). I’m not sure I’d trust those at 140+ or whatever you’re trapping with 900 whp.

Tire look like they were way under inflated and run hard, alot of spinning with no traction.
Too much rubber missing from outside edge enter and outer worn past wear detector lines. Very unusual wear pattern..
Would not think about buying those if I was you.
