watup guys quick question.

As some of you may know I am trading my rx8 soon. I went to a tire place so they could swap out my aftermarket wheels and put the current tires it had on on the oem wheels. I have oem tires in the front, and two winter tires in the rear.

The guy told me they could not switch them because the rears were very very low and could not do it because of liability reasons. The dealership also told me that they were down to the bone, at least the one on the left was.

So my question is, should I trade with these tires? Or buy some used ones this guy here is offering me here for $120. Then they would all be OEM tires.

Would the dealership give me BS and try to reduce my trade in value significantly, thanks alot

 

well if the tire shop is unwilling to remount those down-to-bone snow tires onto your stock wheels, what other options do you have other than buy those used stock tires and put them back on?

 

go to a different shop.

 

yea lol. I went to discount tires co. If I go to my fellow mexicans over here, theylle do it without a cars hehe. But my question is more about how it affects the trade in

 

Trade-in is affected by tire mismatch. You'll get dinged more for mismatch than low tread. Low tread, if it looks appropriate for the mileage is already accounted for in the mileage factors.

 

bought the tires, thanks alot guys
