Extremely, that tire is going to blow at any moment. Probably the next time they hit a bump at high speed.

Yep, had a car tire look like that once. Blew up on the road not long after.

Why did you drive it like that? And how did you get it like that?

Not OP, but usually this is the result of people not having money. Tires are absurdly expensive

I was a dumb kid without a lot of driving experience and car knowledge at that time. Learnt a valuable lesson, luckily nothing worse than a flat tire.

Apparently my old Escort had a very misaligned steering-angle which wore the tire out aggressively over time. I remember the steering-wheel shaking heavily at higher speeds before the tire finally gave out.
