Ft. Lewis GL to Pull Tire Lots?? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

Today I won some 1600s, Finally. Got a good deal too (IMO)... Now this....

I got a phone call tonight from a buddy saying that all of the tire lots that sold today at Ft. Lewis are being pulled. They have run flats in them and the Gov. got picky about that. Now all of the tires new or not are going to the shredder. He called up there to talk about the tires he bought.

Just great......

:tw isted:

Guess I will wait for the e mail.

? Wow no joke. That sucks. Did you get your winning bid email? PAID IN FULL invoice?

Wow I almost bid on those, the only thing that stopped me was I need only some (like 4-5) not 40.

Mike not sure on the e mail Thane did the bidding and he never got anything. Todd said normally he gets an email shortly after it ends. He never did so he made the call. They were going to pull the lots before they went up for bid, but never did. Who knows, I will know more tomorrow. Did you bid on anything?

Yeah I only needed 6 so I went with the 1600s

Well, I did bid on the 15.5 but then I realized that they would probably be too bid for the deuce. On flat ground no problem but with offroad use I think they'd be too big. Not sure how those tires would do with the articulating rear end. I gave up around $600, plus I was at work and got outbidded anyways. The reward emails typically will come around 2200 hours the day of winning.

Ok thanks Mike. The 15.50s went for alot more than I wanted to pay $1400-$1900+ I paid $1090 + fees

I had been looking at those too... But I figured that I really didn't "need" more tires..

Well it's official. We just got our "This property will not be awarded" e-mail.
