You must have had better experiences with used tires then I ever did. I was lucky to get a year's use out of most of the used tires I ever bought. I grew tired of tire shopping every year. Add in the cost of mounting and balancing the tires and the cheap price disappears quickly. I have my own tire changing machine, but it doesn't work well with the aluminum wheels, and its getting old and doesn't work as well as it did 20 years ago, (neither do I).
I'm buying the new tires and then I won't have to be concerned about them for the next 5 years. Gene
Not luck.............I just had a real smart Dad who taught me what was workable and what isn't. I know what to look for in a tire.
The only tire issue in the last 20 years I ever had was with
new tires (bridgestones-no wonder
but they came on a new truck I bought, and goodyears. Yes, goodyear: the holy tire that charges Michelin price for a Walmart quality tire).
But, do what you like Gene, it's all good.
