Default Anyone selling a tire (used preferably) for an 18" wheel?

My buddy's tire blew on his Z and needs a replacement tire..he doesn't want to buy a new one when he's got 50% tread left on his remaining 3.

So I know it's a long shot, but if anyone's got an 18" oem tire, RE050..(forgot the size)..let me know. (or even a used tire place that you can recommend)

Thanks

Include more specifics.. ie how wide, OEM 18"ers come in 225 or 245. Which is he in need of. PS there is a classified section on the top of this forum for buying & selling.

Check ebay, get a cheapy tire. Or, there are some wheel shops that toss used tires when they install new wheels & tires on customers cars, try and dig around to find a decent one.

245's...the rear tire for an 18" OEM 06+ rim. (I believe it's 245/45/R18 Potenza RE050)

Didn't think tire places would just give their used tires to just anyone.. Do you think they'll charge for em?

Might not find a RE050 or whatever the stockers are, but I know my wheelshop throws some "okay" used tires next to a dumpster in an alley.

just go to any tire place and sift through their dead been. the richer the city the nicer the tires... well usually!
