happened on the way to work ***check tires***

well, the C4S owner probably think i wanted to race him & he's too afraid to look over.

anyways guys, i was following this guy who had no idea his rear tires inside are worn all the way to the core & metal shown. (i could see it because shinny sun is on top of me ) they will not last more than 200 miles hopefully the blow out won't happen on fwy. i tried my best to warn him but u know what'd he think if he sees a CLS55 is right on his ***... i hope he reads this. DUDE, CALL DAMON ASAP!

take 5 mins of ur time go check ur tires out. bend over look inside, especially for those running 19''s. u might be surprised what u see but no panic. again, CALL DAMON ASAP! **** happens but this is totally avoidable.

happy holidayz & drive safe!

Yikes, I just went over 10k on my C4s - better go home and check on them tonight.

Oh well - just another reason to break down and hook up some 19s.
