used tires on ebay?
hey guys, i have a question
my current front tires have extreme wear on the inside, worn down to where i need to purhcase new tires, now, question is, should i just have a shop flip them around and ride on the other side of the tire? or get an alignment and buy a new set of fronts.
but i don't want to buy new and expensive tires just yet because im afraid i'll experience uneven wear again after alignment thus wasting the new tires, so should i just purchase a used set on ebay and kind of "test" those tires, then when im certain the alignment is straight then i'll buy good tires.
i found these 2 yokohoma es100's from a local seller on ebay going for $25 w/ 2 days left and w/ no bids,

and these other es100's

i don't drive crazy much so i won't be burning rubber, so any tires w/ decent thread i can use. plz let me know, thanks

If the front tires are loud, moving them from right to left and left to right will not help the noise (I tried it).
Used tires may seem look a bargain, but you cannot trust the seller’s description. 90 percent tread remaining. Only 10,000 miles. Statements such as those are ambiguous. Add the price of shipping, and a “good deal” is a loser.
