What To Look For When Buying Used Tires

Make, Model & Size

When replacing a set of tires, ensure they are all the same make, model and size. Some sellers might try to fool unsuspecting buyers by swapping similar models, but manufacturers recommend using the same tires all around. It does not only happen with independent backyard sellers, though. Dealers may have inadvertently loaded mixed tires before being shipped or the same could happen during the unloading. Be a responsible consumer and check yourself.
