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.

run from it don't walk!!!! by the time you pay for shipping and then mounting and balacing you could have bought new.. check out the tire rack online pretty good source.
