Used Tires
I want to pick up some new rims (18/19) but dont want to drop a grand on new tires. I drive my car occasionaly (weekends here and there) and only 6 months out of the year. Is there a place that anyone knows of that sells decent used tires BESIDES run flats?

Try Discount Tire Direct - I got a set of Hankook Ventus V12s for about $750. Tire Rack also has good prices on tires.

I was hoping to keep it under 500. (again, for used tires) I know I cant get new for that price.

Might keep a watch on the "For Sale" forum here. Seems like someone always has a set of tires for sale.

There is a forum member that post used tires for sale in C5 Parts every now and then.

Make sure you verify the age of the used tire by reading the DOT code.......6 years old is too old. Just look up "how to read a tire DOT code" on Google.
