you guys ever heard of this....??

i was browsing thru another thread and found this: "You can fish perfectly good tires out of the back of dealerships since to be sold as a Certified Used Vehicle the cars traded in must have new OE tires put on, so the ones on the car get chucked no matter how much life left on them.

I just grabbed a pair of 225/40/18s Perreli P-Zeros from the Porsche dealership(these are the fronts of 911s) that honestly still had the nubbies on them! The BMW and Audi dealership also toss out tons of perfectly good 225/45/17s I grab all the time, and since they have to pay to dispose these they are usually glad to let you take them, just ask the service department."

comments??

I worked at a Toyota dealership in SF and we never switched out the tires off of a certified vehicle. Only when they are dangerously bald.

sounds urban legendish. you would think that the employees would ****** them up and put them in the classifieds before they threw/gave them away.
