Tires are tires so as long as you check the brand, the date, the tread depth and wear you can make a judgment on if the tires are good. Discount won't sell used AFAIK. I do have a wholesale account if you want new for cheap, but I don't imagine shipping would be cost effective. Unless you happen to be coming thru houston or have a buddy passing through that could bring them to you.

I'm just gonna buy two new tires for right now and worry about the other two later this month.

Member with nothing better to do Posts: 147 Group: Members Member #1,827 Joined: March 8, 2009	I just ended up buying new tires. I figured I could afford it, so there wasn't much reason to be cheap about it. I used my $50 coupon for a set of 4 installed tires, so the full warranty was pretty much free.
