Bass Junky Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Those tyres come out of Europe where 'apparently' the EPA over in Europe decided that after like 10 or 15% tread is worn, the tyres start to release 'a gas' and they have to change them. There's apparently a woman who imports container loads of tyres and is making an obscene fortune out of them.

Zahos Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 They are always polite to me, but they recognise me. I have given them plenty of business, and taken plenty of other customers. In terms of duds - nothing like rubber flying off, just vibrations and stuff.... These tires are from germany, and wuite a few are from cars that have been in accidents. So there is a possibility that there may be flat spots and stuff.... What I do is: I pick a set, put them on, then go for a drive around the block (b/c they can be slippery with the stuff they use to treat them), then go on the freeway and see how the car feels at 100km/h (freeway is next to this place) If I am not happy, he changes them for me with another set. I usually give him something for his time too (extra $10 - $20, if I get a set I am happy with) b/c there is no way he can know if they are stuffed unless he puts each tire on a car and does a before / after comparisson, and that is rediculous.

king_kw13 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Cool, thanks for the info Zahos. I good idea about taking the tyres for a drive first to make sure u are happy wif em - cos i dont live close and it would be a hassle bringing em back.
