Ah ok, so that's two thirds of the price for half the useful life of a totally unknown tyre...

Somebody is making £85 out of that deal

[TheBoy]

£85 for unknown tyres with less around a third of life left, plus fitting.

Doesn't sound cheap to me.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Aren't the German tyres supposed to be the safer way to go if going down the part worn tyre road, Sure i read something somewhere.

[05omegav6]

Why on earth would part worn tyres from Germany be any better than part worn tyres from here

I worry about you sometimes

your mot requires 1.6 mm where germany asks for 3mm..  this may be the reason..

A part worn tyre is still a part worn tyre regardless of the langauge

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Part of the listing on that link i put up.

"German Tyre Warehouse has been established for over 10 years supplying quality part worn tyres at unbeatable prices.
All our tyres go through the following six stages before they are ready for shipping.
1. Visually inspect each tyre at source in Germany by ourselves.
2. Visually inspect on arrival at our warehouse in the UK.
3. Thoroughly clean tyres before testing commences.
4. Inspect using our state of the art testing equipment.
5. Spray coat with a special rubber sealer which helps prevent premature ageing of the tyre.
6. The tyres are then banded together ready to be collected by our courier.
By buying part worn tyres not only will you be saving money but you will also be doing your bit to protect the environment.

WHY BUY FROM US?
~ All tyres carefully visually inspected

~ Buy direct from us No middle man saving you ££££

OUR TESTING PROCEDURE
Designed and built in France to our own specification a state of the art tyre testing machine, which clamps the tyre at the touch of a button, inflates it to between 2 and 4 bar depending on the particular tyre being tested then the machine goes through a spin cycle to check for any irregularities as well as being visually inspected by our specially trained technicians meaning all our tyres are guaranteed tested before we offer them for sale.
Please note some tyres may have had puncture repairs carried out on the tread area of the tyre by our trained technicians."

Wouldn't risk buying from a private seller, But these company's have more to lose surely if selling duff/dangerous tyres.

a tyres condition depends on the climate and road its been used..  germany temp avgs are lower , roads may be better which means a worn tyre but may be still soft and in better condition.. but of course it may vary..

[TheBoy]

And you believe any of that bullshit?

[TheBoy]

And no mention of age...

[Andy B]

Omega tyres are cheap compared with my Merc's     

[05omegav6]

And you believe any of that bullshit?

Either of you?
Wot he just said

[albitz]

Iirc tyres must be changed in pairs in Germany ? If so,get a puncture on an almost new tyre and the other one is going to be sold as a part worn.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

And you believe any of that bullshit?

Not really, But It's there in black and white nevertheless even if it's BS or not. Plus this  "All tyres come with a no quibble money back guarantee"

Would i buy part worn tyres, Yes and i have on small cars in the past, On the Omega well, Does this count ?, The Elite alloys i bought some time ago still have the same tyres on. No real issues with them. Would i prefer new tyres Yes of course, When funds allow. But that's not always possible. I was going to after the positive reviews on here get the Runway tyres but they where not in stock. They seem to be back in now thought so will most likely get these. I should have kept my mouth shut, Never mind 

[I_want_an_Omega]

I've now had 2 sets of Yokohama's in this size. 

Rotated the tyres and managed 30k from a set. Ok, not on an Omega, but well impressed @ about £90 a tyre via tyre-shopper ..
