Unbalanced New Tires Better than Balanced Bald Tires? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I had my balanced tires completely bald - 0% tread left, wire was showing - and i swapped them out with some tires i had in my backyard with good tread that i just swapped on my car. i just found out this set of tires with tread are unbalanced. they have no weights at all. the reason im using this temporary fix is because i just got in an accident cause of my bald tires and am waiting for the dealer to fix my car before i put the brand new tires on. so i put on the unbalanced tires and am planning on driving the car till tuesday. how bad is this for my car and am i better off with these unbalanced tires with tread or the zero traction balanced tires? thanks.

avoid high speed 60+ mph driving if you can as the vibration may make other things wear faster, its more of a comfort thing, if your just going to limp the car around town on them i cant see a problem, highways though.... i dont think anything would break, but it will wear parts faster and may also make some new mysterious creeks and such in your cabin from the added vibration

x2. I would limp it. Depending on how much they are out of balance, the wobble / shake could be pronounced.
