I need new one's soon. I could make these last another 5000ish miles or longer, but winter is fast approaching and I need this vehicle to get me to work.

I bought a set of four Michelin Energy tires used for $100.00. One of the tires was almost brand new while the other three were very good tread wise with no signs of damage. There are a couple of places near me in my state that sell good used car tires for $25.00 each regardless of brand or size.
I read a story online that suggested to never buy used tires because you never know if they were run flat or mistreated. I also read a post by someone who said many people will never buy used tires, but they have no problem buying a used car with used tires on it and will not change them until they are wore out. Depends on how you personally feel about it.
