do you live in St. Pete? go to places that sell used tires and see if you can get something descent, I know you can get 2 descent used tires for like $40. If you live in St Pete and no where Bob Lee's is at go down there, they sell used tires and have a TON, i used to work there!

AK Tires has some used tires... I dunno. I think they might be a bit overpriced for used tires.

+1 for AK Tire.

I just priced out a tire from my ex's Mustang. $40 for a 245/17 mounted and balanced. Pretty decent deal if you ask me.

a lot of dealerships thow away used tires when them rich folks have their cars serviced though them. Sometimes you can pick up free Potenza's from the BMW dealerships although they sometimes have plugs.
