Ok, anyone have a picture of the 'bad' tread?

Darn, I should have taken a pic of the old tread! I'm 100% sure they're different.

The tire situation:

bad vibration under entire car.

Rears worn out to the limits in 6800 miles, maybe form me beating on them hhahaha

had 2 bubble in sidewalls

Noise

poor ride

so I lucked out I guess, the car was brought into the shop Monday with 2 bald rear tires, one replaced front from 2 months ago, one worn front tire and one rear tire had 2 sidewall bubbles

I complained about the tires 3 times so this time they took action
