Default Used Tires in Tampa

I'm looking to find a used tire for the Z, to use until I replace the other 3 tires currently on it. The current tires on there have about 8K miles and I expect to get about another 8K out of them before its time to replace...so I need one good used tire, sized 245/50/17. Any suggestions of reputable shops known for having used tires in these sort of sizes?

The place next to z fever has a shitload of tires. I have been going there for years. Guy named Mike owns it. They have some good prices too.

I purchased two tires for my bimmer back in the day from AK tire near Westshore mall. They are hit or miss on availability but I have always found what I was looking for. If I recall, the quality of tires in bigger and more rare sizes was generally higher as the common sizes were bought up quickly.

I used to go to AK Tire, but the last time I called the message said they were closed.
I picked up two used tires from Tire Tech on Saturday.
