How or when the shops pay for tyres is immaterial. It is not viable to hold thousands of pounds worth of tyres in stock "just in case".

My tyres for Kiddy were all new stock from the distributors, delivered/collected last week.

There was a notable difference between front and rear for sure, but has it occurred to anyone that it may have been the rears that were too soft?
The rears I have in stock don't seem much different to pinks, but the fronts are definitely softer than blues.

Whatever the outcome of any investigation by the supplier, I hope it is sorted before Oswestry.

Incidentally, I only had one pair of fronts returned at the weekend and I gave the chap his money back.
