I will be surprised if your credit card company will reverse the charges, especially if the tire seller balks. While you may be unhappy with the quality and price of the merchandise, you technically agreed to both before installation. Furthermore, you actually received the merchandise you requested and approved to be installed. Buyer's remorse is not grounds to cancel the deal.
Well surprise, surprise, surprise, to quote Gomer and not The Gomer involved with Gomer and Goober Sportys tire emporium. The OP has already stated in his first post that Amex has already ruled in his favor on the disputed charge. Why wouldnt they? The business has a multi year history of documented fraud?
What you don't understand is that the merchant can contest the charge back, and state their case as well. It is not a one sided deal. I fully understand the OP was taken advantage of, which was totally self-inflicted, but he did get an acceptable product (approved by the DOT for sale in the US). Whether he needed the new tires or not is something that is open to interpretation. The tire dealer can attest to many years experience as opposed to just the OP's word.
It ain't over until the fat lady sings.
By chance you're not the ex-mayor up there are you?
The tires he was sold was misrepresented as Coopers when in fact they were a Chinese brand. Secondly, the tires were not the ply or weight rating for his vehicle. He has a strong argument. You think the merchant can defend mispresenting the brand of tire and will admit installing inferior tires thst could of easily caused a blow out and potentially life ending injuries ?
You are absolutely correct. However, as the OP presented the scenario, the misrepresentation was in fact verbal. I bet the paper trail shows the OP got exactly what he paid for and at a price he agreed to. The scammers have been doing this for years, and they know their game rather well.
As already posted, there is a good chance the scammers will just move on and not contest the charge back, as it is not worth the risks exposing their scam once again.
My point was just because AMEX charged back to the vendor, does not mean that it is final. The OP did get a viable product and agreed to the price and sale, which is a very good argument for the vendor. Only later did the OP decide he did not need or want what he purchased.
