WTB: 2 Used Tires - Yoko ES100
#1

Looking for a pair of decent used Yokohama ES100's for my other car in size 225/45/17 (already looked on eBay). I want at least 5/32nds of even tread wear remaining, so these can last me until next summer. Anyone have a pair laying around for sale? Please email any specifics to m401m at aol:com if you do. Thanks.

why used front tires? that isn't a very good idea, especially in winter, when you need the most tread to sheer water - also, at 5/32, you are really looking at time to replace - if you are going to put on a used tire, then i would not take anything less than 8/32 - wear patterns and such are not likely to make you happy either, even though you are only looking for a few months wear - also, look closely at shoulder wear when measuring the tread depth - in the wet, that is where you need tread thickness the most, and unfortunately, is often where used tires have he least



given you want to change come summer time, if money is the object, i would recommend a new cheap tire, and then toss them, regardless of wear, when you change out, before i would put on a used tire
