Latest is a pair of conti's 205/55/16 4-5mm. (These were to go on my wheels that got nicked so even more 
Bought and paid Feb 2nd. Ask for his address so i can send UPS to get them at 1/2 the price he wanted to post. He agreed to refund the differance so i went with his courier. Week later no tyres. He said the courier was not picking up my address?? So gave my mum and dads for delivery. Another week later still no tyres even though "They have been sent" Today i get the tyres at my address by UPS!!
3mm at best and not refund for the postage
As i have a "not recived" claim going through i cant lodge a not as described can i? I will have to end the non recipt and then it will fuck me off? 
So i stuck with nearly bald tyres for wheels i dont have

Stick with the claim, he stated 5mm, but they were 3mm , always send your own courrier or collect them your self if you can.

Have you ever bought a 2nd hand car? - If so, do you immediately change the tyres?
IMO, there's nothing wrong with most part worn tyres.

The car probably isn't being sold because of the tyres, part worns somebody has taken off the wheels for some reason or another.

And?... at least with part worns, you can see if they've had a repair, and what condition they're in.
Some part worns come from cars that have been scrapped - are they no good to use?
I bought some "part worns" once off a guy who had bought a wheel/tyre package but didn't like the tyres that were supplied so had them removed.... are they no good?

Surely they would be classed as new rather than part worn?

More like "scrubbed in" then.... They had done 100 miles if that.

So not really part worns Twiggy, the gods of Karma hate you for your disgustingly tight approach to life. It's all fair and well being careful with money, but lying to your wife about a wedding ring saying its worth two more 0's than the £20 or some shit you paid, then boasting that you make out Valentines day is the day after to save money makes me believe that you really are a terrible human being.
Maybe if you weren't like this, your car wouldn't have fallen and burst the petrol tank, or you wouldn't get so many issues on eBay.
But I regress. Unclench your arsehole and maybe you wouldn't act like one, then maybe... just maybe bad shit wouldn't seem to gravitate to you.

You sure about that? So would you accept them as brand new from a tyre garage?
