Well I ordered a set of pro comp xtreme at tires. At the time, they had 20% off :D It took over 1 1/2 months for them to get them... backordered.. :banghead: I get a call on tuesday that they are in... :rocking: So I pick them up on friday. Saturday morning I go to load them up to get mounted... I noticed they have tire mount goo on them.. :wtf: ... upon closer inspection, there was a huge tear in the bead of the tire :eek: :devil: :guns: How could they sell "used" or "pre-fugged up" tires????

No matter the price deal... Stay clear of them. Trust me

if it's black "goo" then all thats "Bead Seal" it is a common thing that tire shopes use to help get a better seal or if something like the tire mounting machine tears the bead a bit. it is nothing to be woried about as long as the tire hold air.

I worked at a tire shop for about 2 years and used a whole lot of bead sealer "goo".

Not bead seal.. the mounting slippery goo, the stuff you use for low pros since they suck to mount... instead of soap and wawa..

Your not getting it dude... I purchased $1400.00 in brand new tires. I went and pick up my brand new tires. But they had already been mounted. See the issue? Brand new used tires???
