$500 sounds like a steal

For 60/apiece mounted and balanced you can have a really high-end brand with very little wear for 240 if you pay cash.

i was thinking about getting some tires off ebay or amazon but they seemed like strange Chinese brands I'd never heard of that might cause problems

If you're not a tire MFE then at the very least you can use MSRP online as a pretty good proxy for quality. You're gonna need some training to spot tire problems though. However you can also just get lucky and the tires you buy have no real problems. But at the very least examine the inside wall for lacerations (which will happen if the tire was driven flat for more than a few miles, esp if it's a cheap tire) and examine sidewall and track for bumps. If there are bumps DO NOT BUY. They will get blown out like that faggot EPAH.

Jk scumbags know 100% of the time if they can rip you off or if you know your shit. I'm not certain this can be done everywhere.

A good rule of thumb right now is that Goodyear only makes decent tires. They don't make the shitty walmart models anymore. Michelin plays all kinds of games now, like selling knock-offs at Costco and online tire shops. I would only buy the French-made MXV4s if they still make those, and you have to find a dealer and make sure they weren't made in Indonesia. All Bridgestones are loud but the Blizzaks are 180 in the winter.

The greater gamble by FAR is if your lugs were tightened fucked up and now your hub threads are fucked and your wheel is going to come off on the road. A tire blowout, on the other hand, will nit kill you

And ask what torque they're going to.

For that matter, if the tire is out of round, you won't know until it's mounted and it's too late to return it

There's also the hassle of dumpster diving through a rack of used tires for an hour while Jorge just stands there and acts like they're all good tires. I buy gas next to a used tire shop so I see what goes on there. A Central American dood stands around talking to his friends, who are all parked in the lot such that there's barely enough room for customers to get in. If I was 19 and looking to party, I'd be at that tire shop.

When it was obvious I was too much a loser to mix with the chads/preps/jocks/shlomos I decided I would become the baddest scumbag I could be. In the process I learned ironwork, auto mechanics, factory mechanics, electrical, welding, engines etc. I leveraged every trait I had to establish myself in that clique, and it worked. Maybe I was born a scumbag but never knew. Like RSF was born a prep but didn't officially become one till the planes hit.

Take a look at the people running these used tire shops. Do they look like legit employees at a legit business? What kind of neighborhood are they in? Is the "shop" just an old shed? How much do trust these people to have your back? What do you think goes through their minds when whitey pulls up in a Chrysler minivan?

i had to pay an extra $40 each to mount/balance them so the total was like $700
