Why would you pay nearly full retail for used tires??

he says he'll contact me tomm.
Says gave me the chance to look at em.
No idea how much tread they come with new. and
wasnt sure if they were really used or just a lil.

Guess we'll see. Im still in HS and 240 isnt pocket change.

maybe while you're in school you could try doing some research.
Not to be a dick. BUt thats obviously worn down and he took you for a ride.
like most said I wouldnt pay that new. They have a tendency to wear unevenly and as low as you are. they wouldnt last long. you can get brand new Falkens Ziex's for that much and they are better IMO.

He has my 240 and I have two bad tires.

3:32 PM 4/27/2007) 4ornia: richies tires u still want?
(4:38 PM 4/27/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: Yup yup. When and where can I get them?
(4:39 PM 4/27/2007) 4ornia: either pick them up at mercedes or i can give them to deanos brother and do it that way..
(4:42 PM 4/27/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: When? And I need to ask becuase I literally only have $200. Danny was surprised I was payin this much cux their used.
Id be willing to do 200 cuz I need em pretty bad.
(4:42 PM 4/27/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: but its all I have. so just let me know.
(4:43 PM 4/27/2007) 4ornia: no i cant go that low sorry man
(4:48 PM 4/27/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: how much do you want? people tellin me im gettin ripped.
(10:55 PM 4/27/2007) 4ornia: well go price them then. they have like no miles on them 99% tread left on them 68.00 a pc plus shipping over 300.00
and your getting ripped off?

(12:26 AM 4/28/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: You told me 85% in two and 90% on the other two.
If their brand new then its a different story. But thats not what "RichieTN" told me.
(12:27 AM 4/28/2007) Jose-aka-Pedro: I'll let you know tomm. When am I able to get them? I work tomm.
(9:58 AM 4/28/2007) 4ornia: well the tires have 85 - 95% depending on who u ask i guess

Brand new huh?

You never know with used tires dude. I'd always buy new.

Guess you learned not to rush into things
