Default Pics of Tires I purchased from a my350z member

Just thought I would post this is helping others not to get screwed the way I did when purchasing used rims/tires. I will not say the name of the person who sold me these just to keep peace amoung members.

When I purchased the rims/tires the description stated the tires were in Good Condion (meaning the tires to me are Drivable) but as you can see the front tires have flat spots and the rear tires not only have nails in them but the cords are showing as well. The person whom I purchased these from swore these tires came right off his car and they never noticed any kind of rough ride,wobbles, shakes,etc... Just for kicks I decided to put them on my car and drive it around the block and it was like driving a tank with the noise and ride being unbairable only at 35 mph..
After contacting the seller I only managed to get back $400 in which is still not enough to even buy a set of used tires from e-bay. The shop just to remove old tired and install others tires with balancing will cost $25 a wheel so that then leaves me with $300 to buy used tires... Thanks again fellow member... Pics are availible upon request..

So this person only gave you $400 to put towards new tires? How much did you pay for the wheels/tires?

I know who it is

They did say that the tires were in "good" condition. And I agree with you, good means drivable.

Vo,
Why don't you post them so that not everyone has to keep asking for pics.


To the OP....I don't see where posting the sellers name would be a bad thing...you tried to work it out with the seller, and he/she was not willing to make it right. None of the rest of us want to have the same experience. If the seller didn't want to taint his/her reputation, they should have made it right with you!! that's just my opinion tho...

I guess "good" means holding air, barely.
