Ugh - good lesson to never assume that "tires" in an ad means 4 tires. I'll accept the blame for not asking, but really, wouldn't a seller think that is important information?
Two days later, I go to look at winter tires that have "70% tread left". When I got there, I measured the tread at 2/32". So worn out tires are considered 70%.
I may just buy new and avoid the aggravation.

Pics. If the pics don't show 4 tires, there aren't 4 tires. And if the pics show a bald ass tire, it's not 70%. And if there's no pics, keep clicking. You don't want to buy something from someone that is too much of a struggler to post a couple pics.
