It sucks for the people that have nice cars and don't see these "gator tails" on the road in time.

Truckers often don't replace tires when they're supposed to. Keeping the tire until it blows means you get to cut down on tire disposal costs and you'll use the tire that much longer cutting down on replacement costs.

I can confirm this; worked at a company and I dealt with dispatching 100 truck drivers a night to different landfills. Most of the truck drivers dont even own the one they drive and the owners dont do much inspecting on their truck drivers.
