Ebay for tires??

[musicboy]

I have recently purchased almost new tires with very low mileage on ebay and found they were over 5 years old when they arrived, which is pushing the edge of safety according to some sources. People take off tires from new vehicles, put them in the garage for a few years and then sell them when they clean up. So if buying used, ask for the date code off each tire to make sure you are OK. As for new, I think prices from Tire Rack are competitive with anything I have found on ebay.

I was looking new. As for tirerack, I don't really see how they are that much cheaper (from what i've seen) after you buy them, then have to have somebody mount/balance them. Seems cheaper, or about even to go local and save the hassle. Maybe I just haven't looked at the right tire...dunno.
