Used Tires?

Post  leathersmith237 on Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:01 am

Ok, I know, I know, a used tire is a used tire. However, I have a chance of getting an almost new “used” tire; I would say less than 1000 miles on it, from the looks of it. I’ve ran used motorcycle tires quite a bit, in the past. I figure that there may be a difference with car tires. What’s ya’ll’s opinions?

I see no problem with a low mileage CT. A used MT is BS if you ask me. Just my own opinion.
During these times with people outta work, you do what you gotta do.

Ride safe.

I installed a similar, barely used, used tire on my bike. It basically eliminated the break in period and worked great.
