Default Used Tires

Just wanted to see what people think of getting a set of used tires? There is a place on eBay claiming they get some used tires from europe, here is a link to a sample auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-tir...42359466QQrdZ1

If they are in decent shape, they are much cheaper than new, they claim the tires aint rotted or anything. It might be a cheap way to check out different brands/models of tire that people would be curious about. if you can get 5-10K miles outta em, is it worth it?

whaddya think?

If that's your definition of decent shape then save your money and buy new ones.
