Tires are one of those things I would never buy second hand.... not unless I was looking for a good set of burnout rubber.

They could look mint and still have rot in them.

shit, maybe your buyer actually has a concience and will give you back partial payemnt? Let me know as I don't think those people exist anymore...

But really, you're being good about it at least and not starting threads like,

"Member "X" fucked me out of two tires. Now give me my money back you scamming bitch"

Seen it happen. ;)

I'm very glad you didn't start one of those threads neither and are trying to work things out with the other member before putting any stories up. Hope things work out for you.

Buying (and selling) used items is a grey area. You're taking a chance whenever you buy wear items - they can look mint but sometimes you don't know until you try them out. Plus it's tough to prove what condition the parts were in when you got them. Integrity is a huge factor in the used parts business. I always try to be as honest as possible when selling used things, but not everyone does.

there must have been a batch of faulty Federals that got out or something. I bought two of a beyonder and event hought they were never used (still had laebls) one of them had a tear on the inside sidewall, way up where you'd never notice upon quick inspection.

Sorry to hear about the sour deal

i'm not mad becuase i got shitty tires but i am mad because i ask the guy i bought them off if there was anything wrong with them and he said no, it is all good to go. and i guess that he isn't ganna reply back to me so looks like i pay 150 for 2 used tires and caus other two are shit. nothing i can do i guess?i knew i should of listen to my friend. *sigh*:thumbsdow
