I wont 2 lots of 4 each tires 2 on Aug 24. Had some scheduling issues with the yard picking up the tires and so wasn't able to get them until Friday 9/2.
Took a cursory look at the yard on a gloomy Seattle day and loaded them up in the Deuce bed and headed home. As I was unloading them at home, I started noticing issues. I stopped inspecting at 4 of 8 ruined tires.
Knowing they're used, I'm not incredibly worried about tread depth (regroovable) or even nails through the tread. These are cuts in the sidewall that go most of the way through and thus makes these tires unusable.
Emailed GP and got the following response.....
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with your tires. I do see in the pictures there is visible damage to these tires. Also, an important piece to note is, per our IronClad Assurance Policy within our terms and conditions:
" A deductible in the amount of USD/CAD/EUR 750.00 will be applied to any settlement of a Dispute Claim." That is a per item deductible.
With that being said, these items only cost $400 and $450. Again very sorry to hear about the difficulties with these items.
Thanks,
So my understanding is:
Effectively it's a crapshoot on whether your tires will be usable and with the noted deductible, you're SOL even if the entire lot is junk. Now they retail for $800 each so even if you get 1 tire that's usable you're still getting a "deal" , if you can call it that.
