SUPER DEAL on 275/35ZR18 PS2's

Just thought you guys might want to check out this deal on brand new PS2's for $286 a pair shipped!! I just bought a pair, even though I have some Mich Super Sports with real good tread still, don't think they will last long here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Michelin-P...8b1574&vxp=mtr

INCORRECT

Both the title and description clearly state the tires are new...

New: A brand-new, unused tire that has never been mounted on a vehicle. See all condition definitions

Yep they are brand new!! If you get them and they aren't ebay protects you with their buyer protection. I know it seems to good to be true but, sometimes a deal this good does come around. Like a couple others here I just bought a set even though didn't really need em yet

I'm starting to wonder if this is correct or not.

I thought most brand new tires started with a tread depth around 10/32" to 11/32". These are saying their tread depth is 8.5/32".

The other thing is that these tires are over $400 a piece normally.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and we all got one heck of a deal but something seems off.

ahahaha I only posted the TireRack link to show the regular price. I didn't post it in reference to the tire tread depth. Spoon.....follow the message progression and you will see the link comes after the comment about the price, not the tread depth...want another bite? Yeah, I brain farted the tread depth. Good thing I had somebody as super cool as you to call me on it.

Instead of throwing out insults, why don't you try to figure out why this deal seems off for some reason. Do you think some company is actually selling two tires for 60% of the cost of one tire? Doesn't that seem strange to you or are you too lazy to try to think about it?

I bought a set and I hope it is a real deal but once again, something seems off.

EXACTLY!!! Many performance tires such as this come with less tread depth to start with. I'm not worried, and am confident they will be what there are supposed to be, check out the seller's feedback. Believe me you don't get feedback like that by misleading buyers with false information. Ebay won't let a seller get away with it!!

Also, since this is "super cool guy calling people out on brain farts day", I posted a link, not a thread. How could you possibly mix up a link with a thread?? This must be the first mistake you've ever made in a THREAD on a forum, so I'm sure we can just let it go this time. If you are still confused though, I can post a LINK to a wiki page defining the terms.

Not a problem!! Honestly I though about buying the seller out of them all and relisting them on ebay for more money and making a bunch off cash!!!

I tried to order a pair and it looks like the item is no longer available. Maybe it was a mistake. Did any of you bought a pair and the transaction went thru? If that's the case, a few lucky ones got an awesome deal

Let us know when they arrive and it's the real deal

ahahaha Did you really buy 9 more sets? If so, you should be able to make a pretty nice profit.

Yep, so Hopefully they sell well. Everybody on here was gobbling them up. If I would have been thinking more business minded in the start I would have just bought em all then listed em on here without the mention of what I paid. Oh well, at least a few guys got the really good deal. I'll still give a nice deal to guys on here once I get them, otherwise back on ebay they will go!!!

They are still available in sets of 4, unless they just haven't updated their inventory:

Yeah, I just saw that too. Looks like I made a big mistake!!! They also have singles too. I just sent them a message hopefully they will allow me to cancel as I don't think I can buy all of them from them, and I obviously can't compete with their price.
