Alloys and Tyres

I`m sure I have read somewhere in this forum about not rotating tyres etc..

So bearing this in mind surely its not advisable to buy nearly new tyres on alloys and you don`t know what position they had etc.. 09 Plate Rimini Red Freelander 2 HSE with Roofrails, Side Mouldings, Sidetubes and Privacy Glass

Buying secondhand tyres is always dodgy, unless you know the seller. It's your own safety! I'd be happy to use one as the spare though, I suppose.

Come to think of it, if you're buying a second hand car you're running on secondhand rubber. People have tried to sell me cars with illegal tyres in the past.

Like somebody once said: "This is the practice of swapping the front and back tyres to even out the wear, not the practice of literally spinning your tyres around (you'd be surprised how often people seem to get confused by this)."
