A mechanic checked the tread depth on a pair of tires. The discrepancy in tread depth between the front and back tires is a lesson in proper car maintenance.
TikTok creator Michael (@lilmikyb) posted the video from his place of work. A car up on the lift has two extremely bald tires on the back.
“Hi, my name’s Michael and I’m working on your piece of garbage today,” he says. “If you check in the back, we have about 13/32". That’s beautiful; those are brand new.”
“If you check in the front here, yeah, that’s zero. It’s about the same if you do like this”—he puts the tool up to his bald head—”yeah, you see? The same,” he jokes.
The owner of the vehicle could've simply replaced the back tires but not the front, hence the discrepancy. No matter the cause, it's clearly a safety hazard.
