Clearly in this case you dont get what you have paid for. Thanks for letting us know as it means I wont be spending my money there. Tires are always problematic, and I have bought lots of 6 tires (1100x16) only to discover only two were servicable. The only alternative seems to be new surplus and very expensive tires from the US.

Most unfortunate Robert.
You would think that a seller might be a little more scrupulous and at least send some that are decent. I doubt the second tire would even pass an inspection. In the case of buying used it’s always a gamble. The couple times that I have bought used it was only after viewing in person and picking the ones I wanted.

When the border is open, I have had some great deals on tires out of the US, with reasonable shipping. I have reccomended them before on this site, and will do so again: Feltz tire. I have always got more than my moneys worth from them.
Bob: All kidding aside, militarytire.ca screwed you. Did they offer any discount, refund or apology? If the tires took the MLU express back to Toronto, would they refund? Of course, they will likely not refund you the shipping. An honest dealer would. Or an honest dealer might have sent photos before shipping for approval. Anybody who googles their name will likely get a link to this thread. I have to disagree with Chris about "I doubt the second tire would have passed inspection". That tire would not even pass for a spare. I would suggest farm use only.

militarytires.ca
Found militarytires.ca on Ebay . Low rating for a seller on Ebay .I guess i am not the first and not the last one to be caught by their practices .

More than one in five customers are unhappy and there are no returns but "shop with confidence". If you went to their yard I wonder if they'd let you pick out your own tires before giving them your VISA card.
