I just wanted to post this for those who are trying to save some money. I just bought some Bridgestone Tires from Ebay. This is the second time buying and the tires have 70% to 80% tread left . Both shipped for $100. I know some will say no way, but the tires are in excellent shape. I bought a pair before and they looked brand new. Given that the Bridgestone Potenza are $130 a tire with a 4.5/5 rating on tirerack.com

Guess junk yards are now pulling tires and selling them to make some extra cash.

I have bought used track tires in the past for my last car. I would do it again.

only if they have a super good rating. theres just to many places bad things can be hidden on a tire. could have a bumb on the opposite side they took the pic. so just make sure they have a great rating and are not a 1 time seller seeing as the scammers are always 1 time sellers.

Agreed. Some sellers on there sell only used tires. Might be worth checking in to what else the seller is offering along with the feedback.

I've been doing the same thing with craigslist. A lot of people are selling used tires and rims on there. Many of them are businesses so its not a completely bad idea. I wish craigslist had a way for people to leave feedback though there are some crooked people on there.
