   I've bought used tires. When I was a kid. The problem is you don't know how   
   long they sat flat. The belts might be ruined. Then again, maybe not.   
      
   Certainly if you sold recent tires and the guy behind you bought them, he   
   got a good deal.   
      
   But what I do now is mailorder the tires to get the best price.   
   Simple Tire. Tire Rack. Amazon. Whatever.   
      
   They'll ship them directly to the tire installer.   
   Often there will be free shipping - which is important sometimes.   
      
   Sometimes (less so now than years ago) their might not even be a sales tax.   
      
   And they'll give you an out-the-door price for the installation & disposal   
   that the tire seller has already negotiated with the tire installers.   
      
   So you know what it will cost when you factor it all in.   
   Plus you get the choice of the entire world's warehouses.   
      
   Not just what one tire shop happens to have in stock.
