Are all tyres a universal fit? I have a set of four 215/60R 16. Seems that the main criteria people are focusing on is that they are round. If they are round, they will fit.

Last week, a guy comes hot footing over to my place waving cash in my face. He takes a tire and puts it up against his, to see if they are the same size. "Oh-oh". He can't read that his say 225/70R 16?

A guy this AM, offers me $25 over what I am asking. I'm about to do an Atikovi and deliver them, three hour round trip. Then the guy writes "For my gf's Buick SUV". Hang on a second. I make him go and check. Yep, different size.

I have the tyre size in the title and the ad. I have a picture of the tyre size. Apparently I am misleading these people, somehow.

It shouldn't be your problem if they fit or not. You're selling the tire with the size clearly displayed.

I got a guy on the line who wants these, 3 1/2 hours away in Winnipeg. Who is going to Winnipeg on Sunday? I am.

These tyres actually belong to someone else who wanted them out of their garage and out of sight. Bass turd owes me anyway.

See how this plays out. I have no morals.

I am thinking this isn't over yet.

How can I miss you if you wont go away ?

Winnipeg? 3 1/2 hours away? Sounds suspicious. Make sure you let someone know where you're going and what time you expect to return, in case they have to identify the body.

Yep. I expect to be killed in a hotel parking lot over a set of tyres the guy wants for his Camry.

Nothing says malfecense like a Toyota Camry.

Story gets weird. Tyres belong to the nutjob next door. He wanted no part in selling them. He is an ejection point on the lower rear body anyway. He requested, last year, that I sell them. Never a word since.

Well, this buyer I have, lives close to the hotel I am staying at. This is a done deal.

The "ejection point on the lower rear body's" ex GF, who is a friend of mine, lives a few blocks away, in Winnipeg. We are meeting for dinner Sunday. I am thinking, his tyres will pay for her dinner.

There is a certain amount of payback here.

When I catch the bill, with his money, she is gonna hoot like no tomorrow.

Lets run this through the blender again.
3.5 hr drive , motel parking lot , Jap car, used tires, dinner with the ex of the {nut job} that asked you to sell his tires.
If there is any Canada tire $ involved you could make the local news there Elmwood.
I think its the sting............................

How can I miss you if you wont go away ?

Must be a Canadian thing... here in the USA, we buy tires by size that fit. Your story sounds more like a Craigslist listing... a different breed of people that also shop on eBay.

Did Mr.E get back alive? If not, should we alert the Mounties?

I sent the moose herd out looking for him. Now they are missing too. My guess is they all went drinking then fell alseep in the snow.

mr.elmwood · ‎10-18-2017

Moose herd? I do not care what a moose heard!

Guy showed up, exchanged the goods for cash. Motel parking lot, it was all so pathetic. I kept hanging around the lobby, Colleen be looking at me with "**bleep**?".
