:raspberry  try having all four tires like that on your daily driver civic box. the guy i sold it to kept on driving them like that even though i gave him four new tires with it, probly still driving on them.
my tbirds front pass tire wound up like that real quick from the nuts on the strut top loosening and shifting after the pin thing sheared.
