What you need to know about used tires

When it comes to replacing tires, used tires are an option but are they the best choice?
Here are several things to consider when purchasing a used tire

1. Inspect the used tire for cuts, tears or any other blemishes that may affect the safety of the tire.
2. Avoid used tires that have been repaired. Especially tires repaired with plugs.
3. Look for used tires with even tread wear. Used tires with irregular,lumpy, uneven tire wear will wear out faster.
4. Consider how long the used tires will last. Used tires have a much higher cost per mile than new tires.
5. Used tires have no warranty. Handling and ride problems (vibrations, pulls, or noise) can not be addressed under a tire warranty.
