Cutting corners is a way of life for many shady elements in the car community. For them, if it looks the part, it’s ready to sell off to an unsuspecting victim customer.

Wow ! I have never seen this before in all my years as a tyre dealer. As a result, I am completely shocked at what I see. For this reason, it just goes to show what type of people. Are running these part worn tyre companies.

Re-cut Car Tyres-is it common practice in some countries? Old Tyres Look Like New

I was truly shocked and amazed at the same time. Hence, when I first saw the video,. At first, I was outraged at what was going on.So was the writer of the original article. But after a while, I cannot help feeling that this practice does actually go on in other countries around the world.

 As long as we stick to the rules and regulations. Hence, those are set out for us to follow. But the practice of cutting car tyres. Indeed, has up until now been unheard of. That is, unless somebody can point out where this is a legal thing to do?

  Old Tyres Look Like New-Cases are now cropping up about how many illegal tyres have been repaired

I am sure that many of you are tyre professionals out there. I have come across some pretty bad examples. Consequently, there are things that are related to part worn tyres.

There seems to be little care or thought given the safety. Or the law where the part worn market is concerned.
Only last Saturday we have customer call in. So I bought two part-worn tyres and fitted about two weeks ago.

 Only to find that they had completely fitted the wrong size. They were not even a legal match? they were far too small for the car?

When asked why he had permitted this

The customer claimed that the other person had assured him that it was perfectly acceptable. He also claimed that the other person’s attitude when he questioned him about the incorrect size had made him feel a little threatened.
The worst ones are the subpar repairs that these people have made; this sort of thing is just the tip of the iceberg.

We have seen some horrific cases where the tyre has only lasted a few days before blowing out or, in some cases, these tyres never keep their pressure and the customer brings them into us for sorting out.

They must know that they are breaking the law when they sell these things to the public, so do you have to be a special type of person to sell them in the first place?

Looking at the state of some of the premises, it is a wonder that people go there in the first place, but as I say, people can and must be desperate to keep their cars on the road, and this includes buying worn tyres.

I only hope that these do not make their way to our shores

But nothing surprises me as to what lengths these people will go to to make money. As I have said on many occasions, I see nothing wrong with selling part-worn tyres as long as they are processed and sold within the law of our land.
Please take a look at this video and let me know what you think??
