Fake tires
Hi
I had 4 tires that were used only for few months old. When I sold my car, I had them removed. Which was in May-2015. However, the tires didn't match the car I later bought. I gave them to my cousin.
She end up going to a tire store very close to her house. They sell, used tires for $30 and up. She was pressured into buying 4 new tires and told that my tires are in very bad shape. They told her that they will get rid of them for free. She was told that she is getting the deal. One of the guy even told her "dont even tell god that you got them for this price." Which I thought pretty funny.
This was 3 days ago, when I found out this morning. I went to that store myself asking back my tires and said that they got rid of them. I showed them the receipt and only recently I got them from Canadian-tires, also the cost wheel alignment done.
After me pretending to call the cops and going to court. They started talking in Afgani, I believe. The tires reappeared from no where.
We still got a problem, the tires they put on my cousin car is called "continental" and I believe they are counterfeit from China. They only charged her $400 including installation and balancing for 4 brand new tires. Identical, brand new sets of continental tires are sold in Kijiji for $300.

I guess my question is, is there anyways to confirm that they are fake all season tires?
if that is the case, its going to be a safety issue, so what can we do?
Please share your input.
Thanks
