I just wanted to warn anyone looking at a used set of 305/55r20 bfg km2s in raleigh, I just replaced the set and the service advisor had me wipe off where I wrote broken belt on it so the guy can sell them. The tire visually only has a gouge in an outer tread block but when you put pressure in that area there is large bulge in the tread where atleast one belt is broken.

I'm not sure if he will be honest in the ad or not but I just wanted to give a heads up.

Ps. This may be in the wrong section, it seemed like the right place.

Not very ethical of the service manager. I don't think I would have wiped it off, the owner could after he left if he chose to.

You should also be warning people about the shop so they can avoid it too, IMO.
 
I didn't realize it was so he could sell the tires, and I'm not sure that the service advisor did either. I should have specified that originally, I had thought he wanted it cleaned off so the whole sidewall didn't say "broken belt" and the customer to say something about it, there was still a line across the damage and belt written on the tread when it left. It was the comment that the customer made on the way out that led me to believe he was going to sell the whole set. But it is not all that uncommon for customers to want bad tires back to avoid a $2.50 per tire disposal fee.

They charge ya around here whether u take em or not.
 
Send a friend in who is "looking" for the exact set in a used tire and see if they try to sell em your old stuff. Then that will answer the question...
 
It's not the shop selling the tire and I asked the advisor earlier and the customer did not ask him to wipe it off, he just did not feel it was appropriate to be in large letters on the sidewall and just written on the tread smaller. It was the customer's comment about selling them when he left that led me to believe the customer was going to sell the whole set. After customer's old tires were in the bed of customer's truck in the parking lot, after the customer paid his bill.
 
I had to read this roughky 8 times to figure out what was going on. I hate subject pronouns.

Then he told them that it was not his fault that he did that to him. It was his fault that they felt he was wrong about that and there wasn't anything they could do about that. That caused him to start crying about it. They left him and there and went to talk to her about his issue and it got ugly with him after that. They left.. :lol:
