You are buying scrap after all....
Just like the florists, if you order online, you are not going to get the best roses available.

There was an ad on Kijiji recently for 5/4 ton axles and transfer cases at excellent prices, but up near Edmonton. I had one of the members here go select them for me and I covered his fuel and expense with a little extra for a coffee.

I think you are looking at it the wrong way. Did they say tread or tread depth? The tire on the left still has tread on over 60% if it's surface. The right one is closer to 100% of tread on it's surface.

Clearly in this case you dont get what you have paid for. Thanks for letting us know as it means I wont be spending my money there. Tires are always problematic, and I have bought lots of 6 tires (1100x16) only to discover only two were servicable. The only alternative seems to be new surplus and very expensive tires from the US.
