So I went to X shop and bought 2 almost new tires for these rims. I payed 85 mounted and balanced, not a bad deal. I get the tires home and get to looking at them, theres a small buldge in the sidewall. So I take them back to the shop and they swap out the one tire. I ask if they are going to do both, they said they didnt have another matched pair unless you want to buy new. So now I payed 85 for missmatched tires (same size different brand) What should I do? Is there anything I can do? I really like the shop so I dont want to write them off. ---

I’m pretty sure there is nothing you can do. Buying used tires is probably an “as-is policy” with no warranty and the fact they gave you another one of the same size seems like they are trying to do the right thing. ---

You didn’t get screwed, you got what you paid for. You paid for shitty used tires, you got shitty used tires. Yes, it would have been better if the matched set of used tires you started out with were perfect but they weren’t. That’s a chance you take when spending $85 for 2 tires mounted and balanced. IB4 Newman’s poor comment. Just out of curiosity, what size tire? ---

> [@MOBOOST4U](#): > > shitty deal Yeah, I thought so too. As for cheaping out, Ill take some 90% tires for half of what a new one costs. I dont think they went above and beyond by correcting thier mistake. No way would I have bought a damaged tire for 5$ let alone 40$. I also wouldnt have knowingly bought 2 missmatched tires for 85$. I’m in talks with them now, if they will take back there used tires, I’m going with new tires. Driving there and back twice I’ve already put the difference in the tank. The people who run the shop are pretty much awesome, so I’m hoping it irons out. ---

Out of further curiosity, how worn are the two tires you’re not replacing since this obviously isn’t a motorcycle. ---

From the sounds of it I’d get an alignment with your new tires before you eat them up too. ---

If you cant afford new tires when yours get close to bald, dont drive a car. Tires arent very expensive in such a standard size. Get new, and dont get the cheapest ones you can find.
