Default I ordered a rear tire for my CBR...

And I got two car tires instead. At least they were the same rim size, pretty close sidewall, and the width is within half an inch. The car tire should actually fit the CBR



At least they told me they were going to send the bike tire out right away and include a return label for the two car tires.

The invoice was for someone on the other side of Maryland with almost the same name. My guess its that someone had both orders and swapped the labels by accident

Who did you order from? I usualy order from MC only type sites, but I guess all these tires may be from the same warehouse.

What's wrong with the current tire?

It looks brand new.

has 4 plugs, wont hold air for more than a few weeks, and there is a gash that has been slowly growing.

It is brand new, just about a year old
