This thread really is about mixing up tyres now.

Calling personal injury lawyers "slimey" is anger? I thought it was just truth and the "slimey" part isn't even geared toward personal injury so much as the ambulance chasing reputation.

BTW, it's not crap. This guy got screwed over and now the onus is all on him to fix it? Now THAT is crap. If I'm angry about anything it's that.
You make a lot of points.
Are there other forums that aren't as well moderated that you participate in? I want to see what it's like when you don't hold back.

The tire he installed is a Dunlop D604. It is an 80/20 on-road/off-road tire that is "knobby" compared to the Pirelli installed on the front, but not like a dirt bike tire.

I think it is fine to ride on, I was just pissed about the complete clusterfuck that was the purchase transaction. I'm over it now.

There is no case for a lawyer to take beyond me not be charged about $102 for a tire I didn't purchase. I should know; I've been one for the past 20 years

Surely you aren't joining Jim in saying that a rear knobby paired with a typical road tire on the front of a GTV would be a likely or desirable combo? And remember, that is the discussion here - not whether you can run a Pirelli street tire and a Michelin street tire at the same time.
Where on earth did I say it'd be desirable to run a knobby on the back with whatever on the front?

I wrote that it would be fine to run different brands front to back. Not that it was desirable, and with no mention of knobbies for road use.

Please up your game when it comes to quoting and references. That's how conspiracy theories start.

And thus, we can close the book on this chapter. Nothing further to discuss.
