hello

does this come with a warranty?

Sincerely
Ben

I wrote back "Ben, what type of warranty would one expect to receive when buying 4 used tires?? I'll give you one guarantee, THEY HOLD AIR, that's it".

I mean, seriously.. You're getting (4) like new 20" tires for the cost of one.. What do some of these people want!??!?!

I think a simple "no" would have more than sufficient. But your answer was on the mark, too.

Im surprised they didn't ask you to mount and balance the tires too!!! Maybe throw in a good detail job while you're at it! People are nuts!

I'm not much for short answers.. Some times stupidity like this compels me to give a longer than warranted answer

I may be interested, will they fit on 17" rims, & how long as that guarantee valid?

Dear sir, I would like to purchase your "item".  I am in japan for my job but will send you full purchase price of $500 for your "item".  I don't know how much shipping will be so I'll send you a check for $1,500.  Once you get the check you can deposit it in your bank and then send me the balance.  I will need your full name, address and bank that my check will be going to.
