Tires on ebay?

[ItsbronzenotbrownGMC]

Anybody bought new tires on Ebay? Found some for a good price. Seller has good reviews. But I'm often skeptical of ebay. Wondered if anyone has done it before. Thanks!!

I think you be fine unless you are planning to buy some China made tires. Just remember to read the ad copy carefully.

I have bought used and new. All good experiences. Always remember though if the price is too good to be true, it usually is (cough cough counterfeit). The one issue I had on a tire was a used one. It appeared to have been squished in some way that put a small curve in the sidewall. It probably would have been fine to run, but I contacted the seller and they sent another like-new of the same tire at no cost, and had me keep the "bad one". Excellent seller in that instance.

for peace of mind i would honestly rather get tires from a trusted chain store. i would not like to place my trust off tires i can buy over the internet to save just a few bucks. did you end up getting them OP? any updates?

I've always bought my tires from 4wheelonline.

Always check the ratings and reviews about the seller when buying tires on ebay.

I would also check the date code. I see all sorts of good deals on tires that I consider too old.

Have you decided what tires to buy?

Did a couple years ago and regretted it.  The were ATV and the ad said they were radial tires as what came on the Honda. Tires they sent were not.  Each tire was shipped separately by UPS. So they authorize I can exchange them but I can only get 1 return label and UPS would not accept all 4 tires with one label as no way to track them if they become separated.  I had to pay to ship 3 back.  So moral of the story, go to local tire shop and pay their price, probably cheaper in the long run.

 

Another high cost online tire purchase, friend order 4 tires from Tire Rack who had a local dealer installer.  The local dealer took him for $175 to mount and balance the tires, $100 more or less then he could bought same tire from the GY dealer.

I’ve bought probably 7-10 sets of tires and wheels off eBay. Literally comes down to the place your buying from, I’ve pretty much used the same 2 “stores” and gotten much better prices than my local ass tapping tire guys. 
 

heck discount tire has a store on eBay, you’ll be fine.
