    Can you find a catch with this Ebay auction?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:us

    Those are rear MM tires aren't they?

    Ive already sent the guy a message about whether those tires pictured are the actual tires Im going to buy.

    Outside of these tires being second hand, I really dont see any catch with this....and I MUST be missing it

    could you elaborate on that...because those tires are directional...the tread is wavy on the inside and straight on the outside...is that what you're talking about?

    no mention about patches. Probably has them. Patched tires are no longer speed rated. This is only an issue if you drive at high speeds

    These are the exact pictures of the tires.We bought these tires from a landlord who was renting to usmc tennants that were deployed to Irac there is nothing wrong with these tires John Chico Tires
    ...uhhh, probably need to take 1of328's advice and ask for a picture of the writing on the sidewall, what with our sellers inability to read...or just not buy them at all, what do you think?

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    check his about "ME" page, and his feedback looks good when you read through it. The price is right, and with FREE shipping. If you need them buy them before someone else does.

    I have learned on ebay if you want something that has a buy it now, and put it off--someone will hit the button.

    Just make sure to read the full auction page, "ME" page if seller has one, and read his feedback don't just glance at it. I check back thru alot of past transactions, especially if the item is not cheap.

    You didn't miss anything, they are used tires with some wear on them. New KDWS are around 9 to 9.5 thou, those are 7 thou. Still a lot left on them but not being new devalues a consumable like a tire a lot, resale-wise.
