eBay and tyres.

[JRP]

Right, I've posted up 4 x mxv tyres that came from a cup car, they were I was told wet tyres.

And it was my understanding that they are not road legal.

I've included in my add that I wouldn't use them due to age and that they would be ideal for a show car.

This is the add

This is an email I just got.

Dear kaledspy,

Hi mate this listing is miss leading they were never meant for track use as they are road tyres also there is no tread mm of how much is left on each tyre postage is only around £10/12 check parcels2go.com then you may well sell them a whole lot easier hope this helps chris

Am I wrong the way I've advertised them?

[JRP]

Is this that chap from before tha was banned? Or a current member whom I'm sure is a nice guy.

[Hoolio]

The message is from Raider GTT remember! If you think they are Coupe MXV then you will have to emphasise the fact that they are different to normal MXV which is what he thinks they are as he wouldn't know his ar*e from his elbow.

Think I'll snap some photos later to try and prove the point

[Brigsy]

Tell him to **** off.

[JRP]

I think he is trying to twist it to suit him, so he gets a deal. Otherwise what's the point?

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Would have thought old coupe wets are worth little.... Very limited market....

Offer them to him for £200 collected and keep his money

I though £100 for 4 was ok... I'll do it for £80

[JRP]

[BluntyR5GTT]

Cant stand the little scrawny bull****ting chav.

[Trevhib]

Lol Jon, you're like a magnet for knob heads Chin up dude

Edit - if these aren't cracked or crazed they are cheap, track only or not

[JRP]

It's my advert

[Hammer]

Am I understanding this correct...has this fella simply seen your advert on ebay, then decided to send you a load of grief through the ebay messaging system just becasue he doesn't like what you've put?!

What the hell is wrong with some people, how rude is that!! I'd never dream of doing that to somebody on ebay, what business is it of his?

[BluntyR5GTT]

I know its ur advert fella im on about that other tool as hes always trying rip people off on one thing or another

[JRP]

Pics here, I'm guessing these are the track ones? Or am I wrong?

[Hoolio]

- raider_gtt

Oh dear, he doesn't take criticism very well does he. Also 8 years ago? and I think it was the P600 not the 6000, what a tool.

[JRP]

An I right though? Those are cup tyres yeah? Not road legal?

[markg]

I dont remember the one's fitted as std saying Coupe on them. Let me go see if there is one in the shed and check.

[Trevhib]

I'm sure the word coupe doesn't appear on the standard MXV's.

I can't see anyone being pulled over with these on and the police being able to tell though, even the club needs to go and check to be sure

[markg]

Here you go Jon. This is a standard original tyre.

[JRP]

So the coupe ones are racing ones? Cheers for that dude.

[JRP]

They have E2 on them I think so they are road legal... Still abuse from that guys unfair

[JRP]

What's the difference between them?

[Hoolio]

Definitely different to normal MXV, I guess that they have a different/stickier formulation to the normal ones.

[JRP]

I don't want to rip anybody off at all. Just spoke to the master, he said raider gtt is after some tyres at the mo... Guess he wants these cheap? Shall I up the price and add a postage option?

[clee]

No ,tell him thanks for all his input and that you now realise your error, re-list them for 50 delivered ....then cancel /refuse any bid from him

[JRP]

No ,tell him thanks for all his input and that you now realise your error, re-list them for 50 delivered ....then cancel /refuse any bid from him

I knew there was a reason you were the man.

I'm not afraid of admitting I was wrong in saying they were not road legal.

He is a huge peen arse

[Hammer]

Nice

[Guybrush]

yeah they're definitely road legal.

all the slicks/wets i got with my cup car were dunlop's.

[gimme5]

I justed looked in my garage, I have a set of MXV's and also a coupe MXV, and to me they look exactly the same, tread pattern is the same even all the writing is the same on the side wall, the only difference I can see is that it says coupe after MXV, so what is the difference?

[Sparkie]

they were probably made with a softer compound, but just used the same moulds.

[The new Bill J]

they were probably made with a softer compound, but just used the same moulds.

Correct! The MXV Coupes were a softer compound to the 'normal' MXV's, and were used as wets in the Renault 5 elf Turbo Cup series. They can be used on the road, but due to being a softer compound they won't last as long.

Get W4nkergtt to collect them, and throw them at him, knocking him out. Then take them back and when he comes round tell him where to go

[Trevhib]

I can't believe these aren't being snapped up. 4 x road legal, stickier versions of the original MXVs with decent tread for around £25 a tyre? I don't get it.

I missed the boat lol

Would you use a 20 year old condom?

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Would you use a 20 year old condom?

[Ian S]

raider_gtt

He is the banned one. His past form would be to get you to sell these to him cheap then advertise them for more money.

[James5]

I love the comparison

Thought it was him...

[Trevhib]

Lol CC. If it was still within its use-by date, yes, yes I wound

I don't get this tyres being too old stuff tbh. On my old ph1 I had five original tyres. I mean 55k use, 20yrs on the road. Four were ok for everyday use, one had a bulge in the side wall, which I ditched obviously. JRP's look in better nick.

As the manufacturer states to those who want to use them; if they aren't cracked or crazed they will be fine.

And for those that want to show them, they are perfect.

[Rob1980]

Maybe... How many owners has it had??

[Logg]

Would this be the 20 year old condom in question.

I've got a set of MXV Coupes, and they're so hard now they're like bricks! I couldn't imagine them offering any sort of grip!

If I were to think about using them to drive on, I'd absolutely drench them in tyre softener first!

The only person who will want oe tyres will be the guy with the fully restored minted 5 around.
Once big Steve has fitted these bad boys he will be upside down in a ditch wondering what the fudge he was thinking.

[Trevhib]

Bill, what we have is the difference between what I experienced and what you imagine.

As I said on the other thread, anyone looking to drive their GTT to the max needs to look for other tyres. If you're not going mad on the road (which you shouldn't in any case), or going on track, then should be ok to use IMO.

[JRP]

Lets not forget this threads about that idiot. Not the tyres that I've gone and sold... More opinions more debates its like parliament sometimes.

[Trevhib]

Cool. Was that in the last hour JRP?

raidergtt having serious issues - that's moot. Much better arguing about tyres that you've already sold

Do you know what the buyer intends to do with them?

[The new Bill J]

Bill, what we have is the difference between what I experienced and what you imagine.

You haven't experienced the tyres that I've got. Which coincidentally are from the same batch as the ones Jon has sold. I would not like to drive them to the shops. They are rock solid - You can barely move the rubber tread around at all, and you can't make the slightest of indents with a thumb nail. They might come to life a bit after a heat cycle or two, who knows?

I wish I had a car that I could fit them to now to try out (in a quiet place), just out of curiosity
