used tires?

by **sahuddleston** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 6:16 pm

hey guys, i found a tire on ebay that has a plug in it, but looks to be in great shape and still has lots of tread left. what exactly will the plug to do the longevity and the life of the tire?

do not buy it! no gaurantee that a plug will last long at all. they fail all the time.

I've got plugs that have lasted a while. On my celica..this one plug lasted me year and half.

Granted i wouldn't buy used tires to begin with!!
If i were to choose: I would rather have a good set of rubbers than mods anyday..cus end of the day, i can still control my car!

imo, when it comes to tires, it's not worth gambling like that.

I would say a plug would be ok if it was your tire and you plug it and would only last for a little bit. The plug is intended for temporary fix.

Good luck tho

Don't mess with those tires are serious ...think of it as u shoe u wouldn't wear if it doesen't fit its prob a bad example but try to get the idea

you wouldn't wear other people's shoe would you?

imho, i would not buy a used tire, simply on the fact that it's used and you dont know what other surfaces it has gone on.
