First, these guys have their own website, Alphatreadtires.com. but they also do business on eBay under the name trlrcy. They're located in Tucson.
They started by giving me a fair price on some 80% tread 395 Michelins. Upon arrival, they gave me a decent price on some steel Mrap wheels they had laying in a pile. ($68 each)
While they were loading the 395s on my trailer, I paid for the wheels and helped the guys dig them out, find gaskets, and load them (120lbs each!) Even worked out in the heat with the guys trying to find the valve stems to go with them.
Owner showed up and was obnoxious from the start. Renigged on the wheel deal his manager made and I even told me I had to unload them off my trailer. Then he commenced to scold me for his employees and I going through a bucket of old valve stems. He was cursing at me and just being obnoxious. Mind you, I've just paid this guy over $1600 cash for used parts and had a completely pleasant experience there up until then.
Started off a great place, but never never again with that guy! And after asking around, apparently his shenanigans like this are common practice.
I also just discovered I was given a tire with a huge stick through the shoulder and much less tread depth than advertised! It's kinda hard for me to inspect them when they're 218lbs each and loaded with a forklift while I was busy with the wheel, but this is just scandalous! NEVER AGAIN with this place.
