hello all

I been eyeballing some auctions in hooks, lots of 4 395's. I live 450miles away south east of San Antonio and the thought of buying tires without seeing them scares me a bit. Was wondering if their was someone that would be visiting that base between now and June 2-3 that could take a peak report back.

Also any information that would relieve my anxiety of my future en-devour would be greatly appreciated.

I spent $4k on pristine looking 16r20's on hemtt rims out of hooks tx. Most of the tires still had the little nubbies on the tread.

They arrived and the sidewalls were blown out of every last one of them. None of this was visible in the pics.

I won't be doing that again.

The tires are usually a mixed batch from my experience, most 11x20 NDTs I get are 80%+ some with water inside. I've seen batches like 98G described too. You're doing yourself a favor trying to scope them out first but they will not unstack them for you for inspection.

I will be picking up my 2 lots of 395's that I won this week sometime within the next few days. I will report back on the condition of the tires if it helps you out.

Well.. Thanks. And I now remember why I've never bid on tires.
