Its all good to get 2nd hand tyres, BUT make sure they havn't just been sitting around out the back of some random tyre joint and in the sun....... Soft tyre then turn hard and sh!t!!
I just got my new 245/35/19 for $200, no idea what brand.....LOL havnt even looked, but at the end of the day it comes down to what you use the car for, ie i'm not gonna be taking the whale up in the hills for a "spirited session" now am i, and htese tyres are pretty quiet also, so i'm happy!!
