Some tyre fitting depots sell nearly new/used tyres!.Are they a good thing or bad?,just wondering what peoples thoughts were on this!,would you use or not?.
May be alright for an old bid doing a weekly shop!.I saw them advertised and thought it may make an interesting thread,to see what people thought!.
all 4 of my michelin primacy tyres are used with 5mm of tread on all 4 and for £20 a corner fitted they are probably the best bargain i bought for the car last year!!

Can't argue with that! Assuming that the supplier has checked them for defects then I can't see a problem.
I fitted (brand new) Primacy HPs to my car a few months ago at a cost of £140 per corner. Ouch! But consider this:-
Kwik Fit wanted £224 per corner :-( Something is clearly wrong with KF's pricing policy.
Say what! £224! Did you explain that the fact that you were in kwik fit obviously means you are not a billionair and they shouldn't even advertise them prices as no one in there right mind would pay a grand for a set of Primacy Hp's.
:blink: I might be getting the wrong end of that post, but it seems your having a go at me for saying your not a billion air? Could just be how I read it. I only meant they shouldn't be selling tyres like that at that price as no one would buy them. They would not offer that sort of price to anyone in the know, as they would know that price is stupid. I wasn't saying you shop at kwik fit so therefore you must be poor?
Like I say I might be reading your post incorrectly, but if you feel I had a pop at you then I'm sorry, I wasn't. No offence intended.
Sorry BBJ that was badly worded by me. I never meant to offend you.
:bigsmile: That's ok. Its just the way I read it. It's not often your wording is wrong HDI!
Everyone has a bad day from time to time.
Or if you like me, you have a good day from time to timoe :blink:
I am in a grumpy mood at the moment. We're still locked in legal combat with a (ex) property landlord. Sorry guys and gals.
