Want Cheap Tires? Mr. Goma will not disappoint! My personal impressions...
1 Attachment(s)
Over the years I have gone through countless sets of both 19" and now
18" tires. The cumulative cost of these has definitely stretched past $5k easily. Recently I moved to an 18"x10.5" square setup to cut down on tire cost and run 4 identical sizes. I was shocked when pricing 18" tires only to find that they were essentially the same price as the 19" tires I used to run on both my meister's and te's... Frustrated I turned to ebay and ultimately located my friend John and his tire store - Mr. Goma Tires (a bit redunadant perhaps) in Homestead, FL. I routinely purchase his EXCEPTIONAL used tires at ridiculous prices. He is very helpful and has the best install rig I have seen operated by the same trustworthy installer for over a year (as long as I have been buying). He sells on both ebay and through his store which I have photo'd below. Prices? How's about 4 conti sport contact's mounted and balanced (7/32 +/-) for $300. WTF! How's about 2 bridgestone RE050A for less than $300 too! Stop beating your wallet senseless and get in touch with him. I am done keeping this a secret. Other board members know about this, but everyone deserves to get the best deal possible. |
I've bought from him too. Good stuff. Honestly, I've only bought 1 pair of new tires for the Z and they ended up rubbing so I sold them. Used eBay tires all the way.

I never would have thought to purchase used tires, yet I roll around on used tires every day.
I'm guessing he only sells stuff that is pretty close to 100% tread life? He's not pushing anything that's been patched or otherwise damaged/repaired? |

Thanks lgear, I'll definitely purchase from him.

They do mount? I need some tires and don't mind taking a trip over to get some. I see they have tons of brands.
Thanks for the review man. Chris |
Not only do they mount, they mount safely.
They do sell patched tires - however all of this is fully disclosed if you choose to purchase tires with a patch. Obviously, I would keep those on the street. Make sure you discuss actual condition during your purchase process. I always have his installer show me a 3 point wear measure. I try to buy only 7/32's and greater (basically at least 70% of treadlife remaining), but of late I am just trying to keep all of my tires in the best shape possible (f$^%#&(g alignment). Make sure you give a call first to check what his stock looks like. He is bringing in over 1200 tires within the next 2 weeks and I am def going to get a full set of Advans or Bridges that I mentioned. Oh to be square :):):)... |
is there a link to his ebay store?
|
Glad I have a friend that owns his own tire shop. I pay cost with no cost mount and balance
|
Here you go, http://stores.ebay.com/mrgomatires, thanks for the info!
|
That's awesome, my alignment shop is in Miami and I'm going to need some new tires soon and maybe dial in a little more camber so this couldn't have come at a better timing.
Do they reverse mount the tires?? |
that should not be an issue

He should have a bunch shortly... I bought a set of patched
Conti sports in those sizes yesterday for $150 m/b... I'm back in Miami next week. Pm me anytime and will head down W you. |
werd. 150 each m/b? I am deff. going to head over.
Chris |
For both m/b!
|
Good looking out lgear, but this is going to deplete his inventory when you need tires in the future with all of us flooding him with purchases. :D

Let me know when you head back. Ill have to make the trip here soon. What size square did you get 265? I am looking for 265/35/18 all four.
Chris |
I will continue to size up also. Like having a lot of tire lately.
|
Do you guys have some kind of warranty or something because it would be lil dangerous to run used tires, from ebay without looking at them in person.
