it would have had legal tyres on a wof so what ever happened . like quick burnout and a tyre will be bald in no time tyre could have been swapped after wof etc all possibile.

why the hell would anybody buy a car from a card yard with 2mm and worn out tyres, if I was buying a car 1 thing I would look at is the tyres, not the badge or colour of the car, so something here sounds real dodgy like the block who just brought the car, he must of known the tyres were ok no car yard would send a car in for a wof with stuffed tyres, hes doing a wind up, and wants someone to pay for 4 tyre not 2, come on dude get a life and go back to the skateboard ramp on your scooter, this whole story is a laugh.

rubbish, as an ex tyre fitter, i have regularly replaced tyres on police cars with the wire coming through. I love the cops and the work they do, but if we modeled our vehicle maintenance on their example, the road toll would be in the thousands!

I disagree imho, my mate who works down the south island often replace cop car tyres with less than 1.5mm tread. As for tread depth its more a personal preference thing

Did you send it faster than the speed of light so it arrives before they ceased to exist 3 years ago! Postage must have cost a bomb!

that may be the case - but their policy is 3mm. when they came into our workshop at that they were replaced - obviously if they have 4mm, then don't come back in they are going to be running on not much.

Perhaps would be more accurate to say their policy is replace at 3mm. obviously there are many cases where a vehicle hasn't been recently inspected and the tyres may be worn more

He did 'front up' and admitted his mistake.
Sounds like your idea of 'fronting up' is paying for your tyres. If he'd failed you on the tyres - you would still have had to buy tyres.
