Not sure if this is the right section for advice but I'd be grateful of any help on my issue.
Story so far is, I bought a Mk5 Pirelli Gti two weeks ago of a used car dealer on the Boucher road.
Looked at the car, drove it and loved it. One if the things I noticed was it had four Pirelli tyres on the car and I joked with the sales man saying good to see and laughed saying it would be rude to put anything else on. So we done the deal and he said the car would be ready in a few days after they prep'd and serviced it.
So collected the car and on the way home it was raining heavy and the roads seemed quite slippy, I just put it down to being dry for so long and the roads being slippy with all the heavy rain.
Next evening on the way home from work I noticed the rear of the car snaking all over the road and I pulled in as I was 100% sure I had a flat rear tyre.
Turns out that the Pirelli tyres that were on the car had been changed to four Haida tyres...
At this stage it was to late to ring the dealer, so the next morning I rang and explained all the above and said the tyres are really poor and car was all over the road in the wet.
So two weeks on to today and after a dozen calls I finally got an offer from them for the tyres to be up graded to what was on the car and it would cost me an additional £65 per tyre to replace them when returning the Haidas!
Firstly I paid good money for the car and the car is great, apart from the budget tyres!
Surly they can't legally sell me something and then expect me to pay extra on collection to have it how it was on the day of sale?
I wasn't notified of the tyre change at any time, not even on collection of the car. Surly unless they are replacing like for like they can't do this without asking me first?
The sales man doesn't seem to care any more.
What legal grounds can I take on this as I really don't think it's fair to ask someone to pay over what they paid for some to be as it was. Any advice would be greatly appreciated guys.
