What's been going on with this tyre?

[Sa86]

Bought this tyre from a main dealer as new unused old stock clearly it's not! the one cleat falling off wouldn't worry me too much it's the what looks like repairs on the back of every other cleat does it look like they have all been delaminating and they have tried gluing them back down? Needless to say it's getting returned but annoyed as I'll end up having to pay the postage both ways.

Yep I would say so but look on the other pic at the back of the cleat it's like they have been trying to repair all of them

Where did you buy it from ,,its not a new tyre by any meens , it might have been in fitters depot as an insurance claim

If they sold that as new, I would think you have a very good case for your money back in full. Distance selling rules entitle you to this

I would suggest they come and pick it up. That's clearly not unused..... they lied.

It's going back as soon as I can get hold of the man it's defiantly been fitted and damaged not new old stock as I was told it would be

I would say it is new in as its never been in a field, but has been well jammed into a drawbar or machine and wrecked the cleats, looks like they are half torn off.
