selling second hand tyres

[andy_k]

TBH  i don't understand all the fuss over S/H tyers

I do see the fuss over private sellers selling second hand tyres. I've read adverts for car stuff and it's blindingly obvious that 90% of sellers couldn't tell the truth if their live's depended on it.

To me a second hand tyre is a stupid investment - my life depends on 4 very small points of contact - why would I want somebody else's cast offs?

Every time a tyre has been curbed, run under/over inflated, spun up for effect damages it - second hand/part worns etc are a false economy

if your reading adverts for stuff it's likely on ebay,  threfore the 1st rule of buying 2nd hand things online applys.

if there is any possoblity that it can be knackerd it will be knackerd.   ebay is basicly like dial a pikey.  bung scrap on there and pikeys collect it.

it all depends where te part worns came from 

would you turn down a set of 4 continentals from a car that left the showroom that week and only had delivery miles.
most part but not very worns i fit have 6mm tread and decent brands

One way around this is to simply put new tyre labels on old tyres as surely that makes them 'like new' doesn't it?
