LF - Can anyone recommend where sells used Tyres?

Postby civir » January 8th, 2018, 10:22 am

I'm looking for used tyres for my car 195 65 15?
Can you recommend anywhere in Central or South I can go to purchase?

Thanks for your recommendations in advance.

OP why buy USED tyres. They not only contribute to solid waste garbage problems due to their lessened life but they are dangerous.Do you want to break your facking neck so early in 2018 ?

Amigo, buy some new tyres nah. If the money low, park up the car, travel and save up until you can afford them, it simple as that.Plus there are many affordable tyres that are at least new.

While i personally purchase new performance tyres now. A good brand name foreign used is way better than all of those cheap crap tyres that most people selling these days, like hifly, comfoser, nexen to name a few...

NEXEN is an OEM for - Chevrolet, KIA, Hyundai, Chrysler, FIAT, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Renault, SEAT, Skoda, Suzuki, Volkswagen. Obviously anyone that think NEXEN is crap today is using old data to make a modern decision and must know more than the engineers and CEO's of the largest car companies in the world.

Nexen does have some good tyres, however, locally we get bottom of the barrel budget models, hence the reputation.

That being said, new budget Nexen better than Chinese rubbish.

Ah swear nobody looks at tyre brand names anymore. Someone came in for alignment saying they just put on new tyres, is Waterfall the thing name, I sheit you not. And not a poor man with ole car either.

WATERFALL for crying out loud. People don't have sense anymore? At what point is it time to stop being cheap?

why on earth you want to buy used tyres OP? you have a death wish and want to crash??

besides tread wear, the rubber material itself has a lifespan. So what you think is a nice fresh tyre might be two turns away from disintegrating on you

It didn't have a tuner who was saying that smooth tyres better than tyres with beads? He delete all his posts about it and probably here under a new account.

Although i agree with you that it might be best to change your tyres to new ones there are good used tyres . In lots of countries it is mandatory to change your tyre to winter tyres by a certain date. plenty people dont have the storage capability to store these tires so they just have to get rid of them . these tires sometime have 6 months use on them.
