How would you rate the condition of this tire and why? What percentage of tread would you consider to be remaining? This is a 235/40R17 Toyo RA1.

I recently purchased this as part of a complete set from someone. Just wanted to gather some unbiased opinions just to make sure I'm not just talking out of my ass.

Thanks.




EDIT:
I wanted to gather opinions before I posted another angle of the dangle:

Here that tire is going to cost you $2 so it can go to the dumpground and hopefully be recycled. I'd rate it less than 0% because it's bald below the treadwear bars.

 

Those tires are dead - at or past all wear bars.

 

0%

 

Whomever sold those to you

They are either worn from too much toe or too much camber. Either way they are done.
I can't tell if the top of the tire is the inside or outside, not like it matters though.

 

Are those Kumho R compound tires?

 

They are Toyo RA1s.

Open to more opinions before I share my own.

 

those tires are shot .. the uneven wear is ridicilous ... and obvis you can see they are worn down to the bars on that one side

those = garbage


this dosent have anything to do with the wheels you bought from CHRIS@SOS does it ? i was looking at your old posts and it appears that you bought some volks from him... did he misrepresent the tires ?

 

might be good to ask this in the competition forum, since the RA1 is used a lot in competition. If a street tire looked like that, i'd say it's done for sure, but i'm not so quick to say that with an RA1. I'm no expert though, and never owned a set of R comps....best getting an opinion from someone who's used them a lot.

 

it looks like i was right .. you added that last pic of the ce's there...

i looked at the sellers thread and all the info was erased...

what did you believe the condition of the tires to be when you purchased them ?
