I'm running 452's at the moment, in the dry they are very good, in the wet not fantastic. However, I've had them on for about 10k miles now and the fronts are half worn & the rears still have loads of tread left. I'm going to swap front & rears over and I reckon I'll see another 10k out of them.

It's a false economy buying part worns, there's no-way you'll see 10k miles out of those ones which means you'll end up buying more, with the money that you will have then spent you could have bought new.

DubandDubber are you not shopping around properly?

I can get my tyres (205/40/17) Uniroyal Rainsports 2 for around 85 quid plus fitting
They are fantastic tyres wet or dry!

Diamond, the point of this post in the first place was to warn others about the bad transaction I've been through with the tyre company. Nothing more.

There does come the argument that when you buy a second hand car you don't know the condition of the tyres.

Personally, I'd have tyres off a car of which I know WHY the tyres are up for grabs. I know a tyre place that pulls them off damaged rims and sells them. IMO that's downright dangerous. One that has been off an MOT failure that failed on rust or something wouldn't bother me that much.

To be honest though, brakes, tyres and suspension I personally just buy new. You know what's what and you also have decent new parts providing you've gone midrange.

For example, Pagid pads are a minimum for me, a customer commented how much better the brakes are after taking out some cheap sh!te pads while doing other work and replacing them with Pagid on a 4.2l Supercharged Range Rover.

Just spend a bit less and go for new midrange tyres IMO.

Tough luck then. If they weren't what you ordered, you should not have put them on the car.

Take it on the chin and move on.

Have you not read what I said, at all? It would of cost me for new tyres to be put on so I could of passed the mot. I just forked out for those tyres, and the price of the mot. So I couldn't afford to put more tyres on! God! I think this thread should be locked now..

Yeah I read the whole thread. You still made a choice to fit them regardless of whether you had your MOT or not.

you just have to presume every seller on ebay is a thingy regardless of feedback. 

as for part worn tyers,  when my cheepskate hat is on i love them as long as know where they came from, van and daily driver never get anything other than part worns  the pet sometimes gets them when semislicks are going but i know the car they come off. otherwise it's shiney new premium boots.

Because I had no choice, £150 for the tyres and mot. I wasn't going to pay for other tyres to..
