It's not allowed. It is a violation of vehicle safety regulations. If you'd get caught out in rain they'd hydroplane real easily, that's why the law require a certain minimum tread depth.

What would cause my car to bounce continuously and my steering wheel to shake when just driving down the road My tires are almost bald and it hardly get's driven Would new tires solve the problem?
New tires certainly wouldn't hurt. Your bouncing and shaking is most likely caused by and "impact bubble" or a belt separation on one or more of the tires. Bald tires, result in MAJOR safety issues, including traction, steering, handleing, stopping, and if a blow out occurs, you will be throwing rubber and steel shrapnel into everyone else's path that's behind or beside you. Get those tires replaced!
