Does police or yearly car inspection prior to registration not check for these? Here we need to have winter set and summer set of tires, plus that all gets checked regularly and you can't register your car if it doesn't pass technical exam.
Most everywhere here in the States has stopped doing any form of yearly vehicle examination, and the police in most places won't pull you over for anything relating to vehicle issues unless it's either seriously egregious or they have nothing better to do (sometimes not even then, like my local PD, who has been doing effectively nothing for the past 3 years ever since a police reform law was talked about.)
Oh wow. I could understand them not caring if only your own life was at stake, but it's not. Here we had people try to go around the inspection process, but now all the places that do these inspections (privately owned by the way) have to have live camera feeds of the vehicle from different angles and submit photos and graphs of the vehicle status before being able to issue a sticker.
And here I am complaining about someone's light not being tuned properly while people drive with this kind of tires.
Probably living paycheck to paycheck or on the tail end of a delivery driver career as you find out that car maintenance is not free.
Not an excuse if other people can lose lives. There are used tires, cheaper tires, public transport, car pooling, etc.
One person's unacceptable excuse is another's meager existence. I'm not saying it's right, just calling out how it gets there.
