    I like that your signature is this:
    Yet you're asking how to go about tricking your parents (which isn't the 'right way' to do anything) into thinking you need new tires, and complaining that perfectly good tires need to be replaced (which isn't consistent with the whole 'things that can wait will' message). Not to mention that doing this is not at all making your life easier, especially when your 'rents wise to your little scam.

    Since you are paying for them I'll make this simple.. It's easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission. Just do it and get it over with. No sense it beating the balls of your truck just to spend a few hundred dollars to replace something that is in good condition. Not to mention the cleanup you will have to do with all the rubber stuck to your truck.

    Aight guys well thanks for the advice/criticism but I was simply asking is there ways like over inflating the tires to make them not last as long. I respect and love my parents but they just dont think there is anything wrong the stock setup and tires. They don't even like decals .I'm sorry but I do. I was looking for a simple way to get new tires.

    I don't think you do, but whatever.

    Also, if your parents don't see anything wrong w/ the current setup and tires, what makes you think they're going to let you get bigger/better tires when you replace them?

    The best idea is still to try to convince them that you can sell your current tires and use the money towards ones you want. Aside from that, it boils down to you scamming/tricking your parents, which, like I said before, doesn't show any respect at all.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    over inflation = wears down the center tread and causes cupping.
    under inflation = wears down the outer tread

    Each one will cause tractions issues for the worse. Your best bet would be to explain what you know and how you feel to them.

    Well considering that I am sure your parents would realize that you did this overnight, but the quickest way I know is take them to a shop that has a tire lay, and have them cut off 9/10 of the tread off. It's actually meant to take out divots from running on unbalanced tires but it would work. Or just go get the new tires and ask for forgiveness later.. That was always my method.. lol

    Be advised. doing long burnouts will cause the rubber to cake all up under your fender wells... thus a bitch to get off
