why buy used when new is not much more? i would never personally buy used tires... that's something i would not skimp on.

not really........you can get a set of decent tire w/ 70% trend left for less than half of the price of a set of new tires.

Higher risk, no warranty, no guarentee, possible previous repairs or other issues? No thanks. Buy new, and feel warm and fuzzy, and have coverage if there are problems.

go ahead then. if you want to pay less than 50% for something 30% used, then u are welcome to the results good or bad. half off is not worth my safety.

you can have my 4 steelies for like $10 if you want. 16". I think 2-3 of the tires don't have much tread left, but the 4th is decent

xcore are you talking about for bimmer? Go find a nice pair of 17s run 215/45 in front and 245 40 in rear and they are about 90 a tire. I got my 912s for 520 mounted balanced and insured tax and everything. They even did an alignment since I know the guy.

Then you can enjoy the rear end grip of 245s and be safe with new insured tires.

They also have decent amount of meat on them for pot holes and shit

Will run you a total of about 725 for a decent set of used bimmer rims from e46 with staggered 17s

Always buy good used tires with atleast 80% tread left!! when I can buy a used tire that costs $300 new, for $35 mounted with 80% tread left there is no reason to buy it new unless you're so d--b!

buying used tires direct from an owner is ok.

buying used tires from people that broker used tires = no good.
