Thread: Same tires???

  1. #1

    Default Same tires???

    Ripped off?

    I purchased a set of used 710s based on this photo:


    This is the set I received:


    Would you say I was shipped the same tires as the first photo?

    Notice the lack of yellow marks.

    It's not just the lack of yellow marks... those two tires on the left are worn down to NUBS! Man... whoever sold you those should the get the Flaming Sack of Dog Shit on the Front Porch Award.

    Was this CL, eBay, or a forum purchase?

    If you paid by PayPal and don't get a good response from the seller then file with PayPal. Get your money back.

    The two left tires on the bottom pic only have 1 groove left and a ton of shoulder wear! My guess is those were the 2 fronts, send them back.

    I suspect he/she just ran another event after the first pictures. They're still useable, as I think I still see the wear holes.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    I think I saw those same photographs on another forum somewhere east of here.
