I've had dealings with this guy.
I wanted to buy part worn tyres and gave him 8 wheels with bald tyres on, he promised good branded part worn with plenty of life. He said to come back next day.
When I went back he had not actually changed any tyres but had just swapped my wheels for 8 wheels off scrap vans with slightly better tyres on, all budget makes and some of them didn't have 1000 miles in them. A tad annoyed but fair enough they were cheap, except my wheels all had 195's on, the ones he was giving me were a combination of 195's and 185's. I told him this and he just flatly denied there was any difference, even while standing looking at the numbers on the tyres.
Anyway I ended up paying for 6 out of the 8 and felt royally shafted. I had no option thiugh, he had my wheels and I wasn't getting them back unless I paid up.
All in all we ended up telling each other to f**k off. He told me never to come back, I told him I wouldn't ever be coming back. I get new tyres now.
