not worth the risk, if you're in an accident that you didn't cause you can still be found "at fault" because you are now driving an unroadworthy vehicle, your tyres are the one thing nobody should skimp on.
i want everybody to still be here tomorrow
i worked in the industry doing brakes, suspension, wheel alignments and tyre fitting so i have seen some nice vehicles with s**t tyres and suspension.
way too scary, suspension, tyres, brakes, steering gear and alignment are the components that keep us in control when driving.
for each component we skimp on we reduce the amount of control for the driver.
