According to an ad here, the government will give four free car tires to seniors. No, I didn't click on the ad. 😂

I get the same ads, along with others like, "car for $78 per month" and "Senior housing for $235 per month." Clicking on any of them simply takes you to a site that wants your name and contact information so a salesperson can contact you with "prices in your area." I don't understand how such completely false advertising is allowed to continue but then again, who's going to stop them if the web site's okay with it (including this one).

Don't fret, I just bought a farm where there were a few old cars that had to be removed. I can give everyone free tires as long as you don't care about size or condition. Come on down!

Here’s something to keep in mind if you don’t drive your car a lot. Two years ago I went into an America Tires store where I always buy my Michelin tires to get a slow leak repair done on one of my tires. The sales person told me that even though the tires were five years old and had plenty of tread on them, they should probably be replaced because the sidewalls on the tires were slowly disintegrating. The sidewalls on the tires did look like the rubber was starting to break up. I told him that’s OK, i’ll drive it anyway like it was.
He called Michelin tires and told them the situation on my tires, and Michelin offered me four brand new Michelin tires like the ones I had on my car for $250. The tires I had on my car cost me $1000, so I got a brand new set of Michelin tires for 250 bucks.

But it was in the fine print.

That's great! He was being very conscientious calling Michelin. I drive enough that my tires wear out before they deteriorate. When I take the snow tires off in the spring, I'll buy new regular tires. The current ones still have tread, but they're near the 2/32" limit.

I used to see ads for surplus Army jeeps that were shipped in crates. The parts were packed in grease and there was a considerable amount of assembly required. I don't see those ads anymore more so they must have sold all of them.

Deceptive ads are all the rage. They are designed to attract attention and get someone to "click" on the ad.
Note that the ad did not say you got free "car" tires. The reader is supposed to think that because the picture seems to be of car tires. Somewhere in the later revealed fine print is a disclaimer with the actual offer, just so they can't be sued for false advertising. Maybe you have to buy 50 car tires to get four free. Or maybe you get bicycle tires for free when you buy car tires. Maybe the free tires are used tires. Or maybe all they want is to get your email address or phone number for nefarious purposes.
There's no limit to imagination when writing deceptive ads. And there is a large population of suckers, otherwise no one would bother to create these ads.
