Not sure where to get something like this here. Are there any used tire shops or can I get one at a salvage yard? Looking around RTP, thanks in advance!

There is an outfit on the side of the flea market located on Capital blvd. that has a decent selection of used tires. The tire depending on size will run you around $20 and installation is included in the price. Just know that I've looked there and at other places and the tires are well used.

There is one in Cary on Chapel Hill St (near Cary downtown). They got a big selection and the prices are reasonable. Guys there are friendly. I had to go there once for my car but did not buy any since I was looking for a particular brand. It's name is "Cary Used Tires". Google it to get the address

Try to ensure the previous owner didn't get in a wreck or something. If they locked their brakes (ABS not working etc) then a part of the tire will be worn down more than the others. That will cause a vibration and horrible noise.

I personally would not buy any used tire.

The safety of my family is worth paying a little extra for a new pair.

We purchase from discount tire (several locations around) and have always received superior service.

Just having good tread does not make a tire safe. Check the date code on any used tire you buy.

Go to Ebay and look for take-offs.
