No in my opinion buying used car tires is never a good idea.

For one thing those used tires were removed from a vehicle because they are old and used and needed replaced with new ones.

So when you buy used tires you're buying someone else's problem.

The used tires may seem like a cheap deal but you should really only have to replace tires every 5 to 10 years depending on how often you drive and how many miles you drive per year.

Buying used tires you may need to get another set of used tires every year which gets costly and there's also the cost of mounting and balancing the used tires which can add up.

It's best to save money and buy a set of new tires for your vehicle.

You can also check out rent to own tires where you pay some down and get all 4 tires mounted on the vehicle.

But remember those tires will be more expensive that way.
