Best way to wear down some tires?
There's a deal I found that if I bring in my wore down tires then theyll give me a discount on my next set. How should I wear em down quick?

This is called a SUCKER deal.
By keeping the tires until you actually need new tires is going to save you more money in the long run.

Some places have restrictions so be careful since obvious abuse won't help you at the shop.

i just got new tires this weekend and i thought well since im getting new tires today i should go destroy whats left of these to have some fun....then i started really thinking, its never good to wear down your tires fast the vehicle isnt designed that was so doing that is going to put more stress on my vehicle taking a chance of messing something up. then have to pay for that. so i decided i rather not. and in your case the repair of something getting messed up might be more than what you will save on the tires.

I agree just buy the tires. Running the risk of doing burnouts or abusing the car will send ya back to the shop again for more than just a set of 4 new tires.

Are your current tires not worn enough for the place to take them?

haha, that will do, I just want to make sure I get it, you're going to waste the good tires you have now, to buy new ones, to some how SAVE money? if they are that good of a deal, buy them, and store them, or buy them, sell them, pocket the profit, and then when tires are needed purchase them?
