Be careful with used tires.... I just got beat on some but it is what it is... Got some used Potenza re050 run flats 255/35/18 put on a 18X10 wheel and when i went to get them balanced i was told they were mounted with the wrong machine and 1 popped the bead making a small air leak. One front couldn't be balanced and wasn't given a reason just said they were beat up used tires. but had alot of tread left.. lesson learned.

Most little mom n pop shops will do them. I work at goodyear, have done plenty of my own and friends wheels. If you drive down to Beaufort ill give it a shot. Lol.

And a used tire is a used tire. I use plenty of used/left over tires, just gotta know what your looking for. Mainly punctures, separated belts.
