Bald tires are not particularly dangerous when the road is dry. In fact, slicks (treadless tires) are used in racing because they provide greater contact with the dry road. The danger comes from hydroplaning on wet roads. Without tread grooves to channel water out from between the rubber and the road the tire has no traction and your car spins out of control.

How much wear can you expect to receive from cheap tires?
You get what you pay for and cheap tires are no exception. A good tire may last you several years but a cheap tire will not last nearly as long. Cheap tires can be quite dangerous since they can go bald quickly leaving you with little traction which can lead to accidents and poor stopping abilities.
