Automobile Fraud: 2.2.3 The Car’s Tires
A car’s tires often provide clues in uncovering a fraud. Tire match and age are an indication of a car’s true mileage and salvage history. Non-original or mismatched tires on a car with lower odometer readings are suspicious because such a vehicle should have the original tires and all the tires should match. For example, a car whose odometer reads 15,000 miles should have tires with 15,000 miles of wear,88 and it should not have brand new tires or very old tires.
