On new year's eve, someone drove through our mailbox, across our driveway, into our yard, got stuck in the snow, pushed themselves out, and drove off. Can you identify these tires? And in case they are original, what car comes with these? This was a front wheel drive car. Drunk driving is not OK. Thanks!

one thing...   there are mail box mounts...   sort of like this..~\ that swing when the box gets hit by traffic or snow plows...

the only problem i can think of them.. is it might break out the tail lights of any car that hits it as it swings around... but that could be a good thing... at least humorous..

just be sure to set the pivot pipe in the ground at a angle leaning toward the street so the box will self center..

There are so many tread patterns on the market today that using the tread pattern to FIND a suspect is nearly impossible.  Other evidence is much more likely to identify a suspect.

But once you have a suspect, it is much easier to match the tread pattern.
