council dweller Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 No, Part Worn in general, because you just do not know what has happened to them previously! Why skimp on the only thing between you and the road? Amazing! Hello again CR. Obviously tyres aren't the only thing between you and the road, that's incorrect. When it comes down to it, it's all about calculating risk. The chances of me having a serious accident due to have part-worn tyres is much more than a million to one. It's not worth spending 100 quid to 'try to' protect against a million to one risk. The chances of dying in a car accident is probably about one in 50,000 per year.....who can spend as much as you like on tyres but end up crushed under a Polish truck though no fault of your own. (just used 'Polish' for a bit more impact!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems, and don't feel bad as yes a lot of defective stuff is flogged on Ebay so I accept that. I had no right labelling people who purchased part worn tyres as 'stupid' and 'lazy'. I am indeed stupid and lazy myself so it was a case of pot calling kettle black! If you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
