I just don't like people who offer $3000 for both wheels and tyres and then have the audacity to pretend they are genuinely worried about the shelf life of my tyres lol.

bish please.

DOT CODES AND THE 6-YEAR SHELF LIFE
tip
As part of the DOT code (G in the tyre marking above), there is a tyre manufacture date stamped on the sidewall. Oddly this code is sometimes only one one sidewall so you might need to get under your car and look at the inward-facing side of the tyre. Take a look at yours - there will be a three- or four-digit code. This code denotes when the tyre was manufactured, and as a rule-of-thumb, you should never use tyres more than 6 years old. The rubber in tyres degrades over time, irrespective of whether the tyre is being used or not. When you get a tyre change, if you can, see if the tyre place will allow you to inspect the new tyres first. It's not uncommon for these shops to have stuff in stock which is more than 6 years old. The tyre might look brand new, but it will delaminate or have some other failure within weeks of being put on a vehicle.
Reading the code. The code is pretty simple. The three-digit code was used for tyres manufactured before 2000. So for example 1 7 6 means it was manufactured in the 17th week of 6th year of the decade. In this case it means 1986. For tyres manufactured in the 90's, the same code holds true but there is a little triangle after the DOT code. So for this example, a tyre manufactured in the 17th week of 1996 would have the code 176triangle
After 2000, the code was switched to a 4-digit code. Same rules apply, so for example 3 0 0 3 means the tyre was manufactured in the 30th week of 2003.

Offers will always happen, and you have the right to that.

You also have the control to not low ball, and if you do should accept being called a low baller.

Thats fair if I did. I offered him 25% less than the ask (he has the rims for 2200 on another thread). I dont think thats low balling and I offered it very politely and with very good reason for the amount.

Also this whole lowballing thing is bs, if its too low then dont accept.

It's a tricky situation as these items are actually brand new and never installed, so the standard 'second hand' hagling standard isn't as applicable.

Why ? Are you implying that I have made it up ?

Go back through your own posts, you posted 5 later than him and your comment was "shots fired".

See no point to your reply here rather than trying to stir shit.
