So I have a 1989 Jeep Cherrokee, I use it every once and a while for tow a small trailer, or the 4x4 when it snows, but it is not my daily driver.
anyway, it needed tires pretty bad, I did not want to spend $500 on new tires, when I only drive it 2-3k per year. A friend told me about this place $25 a tire for good used tires. I went this morning, found some with awesome tread, $100 bucks later they were on the jeep and I was off and running. the place i bought them from mounted the tires, but they did not have a balancing machine. so down the street I went to the tire shop to have the wheels balanced. The guy balancing the tires came back in, asked me when i bought the tires, and then proceeded to tell me that the tires were from 1989 and the tread was seperating.
Long story shorter, they will not take the tires back, and i ended up spending $640 on tires today. ($100 for crap used ones, and $540 for new ones.)
