Well, I can't say I ever plan on purchasing used tires, but it always happens that way. The only new tires I've ever bought have been when people replace them, then send the car to the junkyard without ever taking them off.

I pay $15 for the new tire and aluminum rim ($11 for tire and steel) and turn the rim back in to the recycling center for up to $15 = nearly free tire at times.
