Default Lf: Winter or all season tires

I've exhausted Kijiji and a few other places and can't find any lightly used tires, mine are practically bald and won't survive the winter.
I am looking for either a set of Winters or All Seasons
P185/70/R14

If anyone knows any places I could look for used ones as well that'd be great.

What about (cheap) new tires from Walmart?


There is nothing wrong with their Nexen tires at ALL (rapidly expanding S.Korean manufacturer), and they can be had for an insanely low price.

Their Nexen Winterguard tire is a bit harder than most, and thus is not quite as good in ultra cold weather, but should also last longer as well...

Default Tires...

Tire Pirates is a used tire resale joint... Just off of Barlow and 60th-ish or so... I'd look for winter tires and have a summer and winter set... Helps both to last longer and damn winter tires rule the road when the snow hits IMO

Apparently Goodyear has this sale on where you buy 4 tires but you pay for 3.
Not sure exactly what that means though. There's a commercial on TV where they have some 8 year old math genius try to explain it..... but I still don't get it.

Yep I'm looking as well. I'll update my post with sizes tonight. Need a set for my Ford Ranger Splash for sure as it just has summer tires. Might just go with the tires on the car but I'll check tonight and add those possibly as well. But the truck needs some traction man!!!!!!!!!!

P265/60/R15 is the tire size on the truck.

Are they cheaper than the ones you can get at Crappy Tire? They are like $44 a tire. I had a set last year on a Toyota Tercel( that some idiot bimbo with a cellphone shoved up her ear hit) and they were fine.

You have to compare the same sized tire? A tarcel has tiny (14 inch?) tires so the price may be close to that $44?

For my 205/60/16's wheels they were $73/tire.


I am impressed with them so far though....

Check different sizes. You should be able to get away with 195/65/14. I'm assuming you've tried the junk yards too?

Bump to add to my list. Checked my car tires and there is a need for new at least all season if not winter. 185/70/R14. LOL and now I read Rico's post.
