First off someone kick me in the head quick........:biggrin:
My wife and I our not the wealthest people with three kids, so we have three big things that need fixing before winter. New tires and brakes on her Ford Freestyle and new tires on my Crown Vic. So, to save some money to pay for all the brake parts I need for her car I told her lets buy used/practically new tires for my car off E-bay or wherever we can find them.
So, I found a nice set of BFG Traction TA's T rated on Ebay. Suppose to be 90% and the guy assured me they were. The guy owns a tire place somewhere....anyways. Got them in the mail and the tires look really good beside the middle thread on every tire is half as deep as the other 4 threads. The thread does rise to the middle of the tire for the middle thread or channel. The guy is telling me that this is how the tire is designed and I can't imagine that the very middle thread or channel is half as deep as the other threads or channels by design.
Anyone have these tire and can tell me if that how they are or if like I think the tires were just over inflated for the first couple thousand miles and are not going to be bald in the middle quicker then they should.
Seller doesn't agree with me, but is offering me my money back less what it takes to ship the tires to him.
TIA, Nick.
