Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton is famous for complaining about his tyres even if his tyres are ok. He mostly says "My tyres are gone" to his race engineer then he sets fastest laps and opens up the gap to other drivers. "Tyres are gone" expression can be used for situations when advantageous side is pretending to be the disadvantageous side.
Let's say England will be playing a football match against San Marino. Obviously, for this match England football team have a massive advantage since they have very talented players. San Marino football team can barely score a goal and they have almost no chance against England. But England football team coach says "It is going to be a very difficult match for us. I think if we score a goal against them we should be celebrating it." In this situation we can say "England football coach's tyres are gone".
