    Obviously had no value on himself for the price of a set of tyres ,just think himself lucky he walked away,I think I would not be on track if could not afford a set of rubbers taken it's one of the most important factors along with brakes,the clerk should mark his card as a no return just think if he had took out a innocent racer along with him goes without thinking.

    That's one of the reasons I buy new tyres. No chance I'd be using someone else tyres.... Mates of mine pick up tyres laying to be chucked away, will post this pic to give em a bit of a warning.
    I'd say the tyre is a few years old (5 or so), and probably damaged when fitting it. Glad the dude walked away..

    Tires are on my 'buy new, replace in time' list together with brake pads, oil and brake fluid.

    This guy is lucky
