Grade is not a safety certificate
Hub Garage store guide
The grade is our own condition scale; check safety separately.
Our grades describe condition, not guaranteed fitment or roadworthiness. Age, tyre cracks, bulges, repairs and wheel deformation or cracks require separate checks.
Reading a set
Check tyres and wheels separately. The appearance of one component cannot certify the other. Ask about an unlisted grade instead of guessing from photographs.
Special C/D terms
C and D items are sold as-is, outside the regular warranty and return policy for disclosed, accepted defects. Please contact us about an incorrect item or a material mismatch with its description. Mandatory legal rights are not excluded.
