They won't admit it, but they get first shot at the seconds the tire manufacturers make and sell them as the real deal to you.Got my wheel & tire package today from Cheap Thrills and asked about this "seconds-only" comment.
Dealer showed me stacks of Pirelli tires with prominent "BLEM" stickers. He chearfully admits Cheap Thrills sells name brand blemished tires at low prices. These blemishes are of course are not performance defects. I would not have any reservations about buying "blems" if I could save a hundred bucks on a set of tires. While I was there, a couple of expensive European cars were being fitted for blemished Pirellis...
Cheap Thrills does sell "perfect, unblemished tires". Because Cheap Thrills is a discount tire dealer with low prices and no frills, the "perfect unblemished" tires are likely to be brands such as Hankook or Khumo.
