DOT 2016 Basically new, but 4+ years old! They look like they're in pretty good shape. Don't know how I feel about buying tires that old...

They are measuring at 10/32, so felt they were close to new. I offered $800 and he was on board. These cost around $1,500 with tax so felt it was acceptable.

This is actually the OEM spec. The Winter 611m set has a 10.5 rear opposed to the Summer set which has an 11.5 rear.

One of the tires from the used set had some fender rash. Doesn't seem too deep and didn't kill the deal for me. Thoughts on impact to life or integrity?

He said the fender flare came loose (which I have to think is literally impossible), and carved up the tire. It's uniform across the whole tire and almost looks like someone took a knife to it. I agree that it would wear quicker in that spot but also think in the grand scheme it's fine and wouldn't impact the driving experience or safety of the vehicle.

Aslong as those cuts are not deep and did not go into the steel belts in the tire. If it were me, I would not run that tire, and if I had to, I'd run it in the rear so incase of a blowout you still have your steering tires.
Thats a pretty serious cut to happen from a plastic fender flare. Also extremely linear in shape. Id guess something else happened that they are not telling you. |
