The bead of the tire is still glued to the rim.

How old are they? It looks as though there is alot of wear on those sidewalls.

I'm also looking for a set of low-profile tires for street use only but not if they are going to wear that fast.

I was joking, but you can still glue tire to tire.

Don't work? maybe a little too well, lol. I am guessing the tires were ballooning and the bl kept them held-ripping them

Panther has a slick, but the sidewall is a bit taller than your Rages.

That's what driving like a raped ape, and cornering on concrete / asphalt will do to a low profile tire. Not much you can do to extend the life, besides not cornering so hard. Looks like the tread on the top is decent still.
