Scandal Don't be fooled by Dessies!
Went to Dessies in Little island to get a price on two tires, I was asked do I want mid-range or Premium to which I replied budget, the staff looked at me and stated "We don't sell budget tyres, just mid-range and up". So out of curiosity when I got the price per tyre I asked what the brand was, Austone was their reply. After a brief moment of silence and awkward eye contact I asked him since when were Austone mid-range tyres, they've been budget as long as I can remember. His response was "I'm just reading what the computer says".....
People, please stop letting these assholes get away with selling you cheap shit for premium prices. Call them out. These deceptive tactics of making people believe they're getting something better than they are is nuts. Not to mention these guys wanted 130 a piece for those garbage tires and 45 for front wheel tracking, place down the road quoted 90 per tyre and 25 for tracking, were clear about the brand and not trying to sell Chinese shit for twice what its worth.
