Date: April 12th, 2025 5:15 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband It just depends on the size man. 15yo Camry sizing might not be too common anymore.

|
Date: April 12th, 2025 5:22 PM Author: Gay Grandpa The cr is to know 3 used tires shops. When you need tires, go to all 3 looking for the best tires that match your size. You need to know brands/models of tire, and you need to know how to measure wear and also identify tires that are shit (bulges in sidewall, multiple repairs can be an issue, smoothness of tread, evenness of wear). You actually need a bit of experience with tires, or someone to teach you. For 60/apiece mounted and balanced you can have a really high-end brand with very little wear for 240 if you pay cash. |

Date: April 12th, 2025 5:30 PM Author: ...........,.,.,............:::: what kind of tread/brand can you get for $60 apiece? this seems like its only an option open to tire MFEs
i was thinking about getting some tires off ebay or amazon but they seemed like strange Chinese brands I'd never heard of that might cause problems |
|
Date: April 12th, 2025 5:36 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Used tire shops typically do not differentiate price all that much based on brand. I mean yeah as a percentage I guess if a Thai tire will go for 50 maybe a really nice Michelin will be 60. But in general 60-70 is what you'll pay for a seriously nice bridgestone/Michelin etc, and first act like youre only buying one- and if theyre like "thats 70" then say "ill buy 4 for 230 cash" or something. My best tires ever were a set of Bridgestone run-flats with 90% tread that I got for 60 apiece including mount/balance. If you're not a tire MFE then at the very least you can use MSRP online as a pretty good proxy for quality. You're gonna need some training to spot tire problems though. However you can also just get lucky and the tires you buy have no real problems. But at the very least examine the inside wall for lacerations (which will happen if the tire was driven flat for more than a few miles, esp if it's a cheap tire) and examine sidewall and track for bumps. If there are bumps DO NOT BUY. They will get blown out like that faggot EPAH.

Date: April 12th, 2025 7:10 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK You're gambling with your life when you buy used. That's why they're so damn cheap.
A good rule of thumb right now is that Goodyear only makes decent tires. They don't make the shitty walmart models anymore. Michelin plays all kinds of games now, like selling knock-offs at Costco and online tire shops. I would only buy the French-made MXV4s if they still make those, and you have to find a dealer and make sure they weren't made in Indonesia. All Bridgestones are loud but the Blizzaks are 180 in the winter. |

|
Date: April 12th, 2025 10:21 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK I pay a fuckload for Goodyear Weatheready Assurance because they are one of the few all-season models that are winter rated. In the past I kept a separate set of winter tires, and they lasted so long I still have them sitting around 15 years later (all-seasons would last a lot longer too since I wasn't using them from November - March). These Goodyears give me about 45k miles before they wear out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5709472&forum_id=2#48841752) |

Date: April 13th, 2025 1:48 AM Author: Gay Grandpa You're not gambling with shit. The greater gamble by FAR is if your lugs were tightened fucked up and now your hub threads are fucked and your wheel is going to come off on the road. A tire blowout, on the other hand, will nit kill you |

Ordinarily you'd have a defective product claim against the manufacturer, but you're choosing to self-insure, that's why the tires are so cheap. This isn't some lifehack.

Date: April 13th, 2025 6:02 PM Author: Gay Grandpa That's why you inspect them. You realize that once you drive on your new tires, they become used tires right (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5709472&forum_id=2#48843328) |
|
Date: April 13th, 2025 6:19 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK You are self-insuring. You are saying "I'll assume all risk of error," based solely on visual inspection. If this is an old beater that's only doing local trips, it doesn't matter, but blowouts on the highway cause people to slide into semi-trucks and shit.
For that matter, if the tire is out of round, you won't know until it's mounted and it's too late to return it |
|
Date: April 13th, 2025 6:21 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Why is the tire shops used tire with 10k miles on it more likely to blow out than your own tire after 10k miles ? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5709472&forum_id=2#48843382) |
|
Date: April 13th, 2025 6:28 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Because I don't trust myself to catch every defect, and I don't trust these places to properly mount a tire and wheel.
There's also the hassle of dumpster diving through a rack of used tires for an hour while Jorge just stands there and acts like they're all good tires. I buy gas next to a used tire shop so I see what goes on there. A Central American dood stands around talking to his friends, who are all parked in the lot such that there's barely enough room for customers to get in. If I was 19 and looking to party, I'd be at that tire shop. |

Date: April 13th, 2025 6:47 PM Author: Gay Grandpa You have to ScumMog them, if you will. Be a bigger better scumbag. Laugh at their tires, present cash. When it was obvious I was too much a loser to mix with the chads/preps/jocks/shlomos I decided I would become the baddest scumbag I could be. In the process I learned ironwork, auto mechanics, factory mechanics, electrical, welding, engines etc. I leveraged every trait I had to establish myself in that clique, and it worked. Maybe I was born a scumbag but never knew. Like RSF was born a prep but didn't officially become one till the planes hit. |

Take a look at the people running these used tire shops. Do they look like legit employees at a legit business? What kind of neighborhood are they in? Is the "shop" just an old shed? How much do trust these people to have your back? What do you think goes through their minds when whitey pulls up in a Chrysler minivan? |
