Being vaguely suspicious about something because of what you've read on the
internet and knowing the product will defnitely fail you are two different
things. It's perfectly reasonable to buy something and expect it to do
what's advertised, then get a refund if it doesn't.

Pete, you're absolutely right - Wiggle accepted they weren't fit for
purpose. I asked them if they could supply the new tyres I wanted too
but they said they couldn't so I've had to go another route. Shame cos
I think their service is excellent and will gladly spend my money with
them.
