They're basically hazardous waste. Even if they have plenty of tread and a possible long life ahead of them, no shop wants the hassle or comeback risk that comes with installing parts that don't have a fresh warranty.
- bitwize 2y agoMy wife knows a used-tire shop in New Orleans. Used to go there when her car had a flat and needed it replaced quick and cheap.
- gosub100 2y agomy first car had a bad tie-rod-end, something wrong with the steering. It would chew through tires unevenly every 4 months or so. but the beauty was (20+ years ago) they were only 13" tires, and getting them rotated was dirt-cheap. So I'd do that and replace them quarterly with used ones for $20 a pop instead of fix the steering problem.
- olyjohn 2y agoProbably still cheaper to fix the steering problem... Tie rod ends are like $15.
- aorloff 2y agoGo to a tire shop in a poor part of town. They will gladly sell you a used tire if you have a blowout.
