That is unbelievable how somebody in the trade could do that and knowing that the tyres were of an old age would sell them on.... unbelievable, fûcking unbelievable
Simple, its £400 in the dealers pocket. Disgusting I agree.

But then only when a see a gullible prospect, any one with a wee bit of automotive knowledge would see through their spiel.So I see. Wonder why the dealer "dressed them" to look like new and told me he had put new Scorpions on because "they just look right".
Answer: All Car salesmen tell fairy-stories. Mostly based on what they think will help make the sale.
It is true... I am the definition of Gullible.But then only when a see a gullible prospect, any one with a wee bit of automotive knowledge would see through their spiel.
Happened to me, two delivered, two more on another van. The driver said he had too many deliveries so they split the load???? It was lost on him when I pointed out he would only deliver once if the order was for 1or 100. The van was nearly empty so it wasn't a weight problem.It can only happen to me. Tyre delivery just now.
"Hold on mate, I've got another one.!
Really? I said, you should have 3 more.
Apparently 2 have gone missing in the transport network and they "Hope" to locate them and get them delivered tomorrow.
Yup! Its a relief TBH. I dread to think what could have happened. As I do only about 500 miles a year (honestly!) these will probably perish before I wear them out.New boots!!
I got 4 X New 255 55 18 Nexen RODIAN HP 109VHi Dan what tyres won in the end?
I had a 14 year old but low mileage rear tyre fall apart at around 80mph which put the car in a spin which there was nothing I could do about. Replaced the wheel with the new and unused spare that went bang in less than 100 miles.
I then replace all five tyres. The tyres are still on the car after 27 years of very low mileage as the car tucked up in the garage for most of the year, but then as I know the tyres are on borrowed time I check them and keep my speed down.
So I would say replace all five of your tyres.
Not yet retired, but plenty off off road trail finding/bashing at the weekends.Yup! Its a relief TBH. I dread to think what could have happened. As I do only about 500 miles a year (honestly!) these will probably perish before I wear them out.
It is the "retired" life means you don't pound up and down the M-Ways for half the day.

They offered to check & adjust my tracking, but I declined as the car drives fine and there was no evidence of any uneven wear on the old fronts, the treads were perfect from a wear perspective.Are you getting your tracking sorted to! Simple job as there's no adjustment at the rear and the springs don't sag.
I thought it was "everything but the kitchen sink"I had a whole kitchen sink go missing last week.
