Want Cheap Tires? Mr. Goma will not disappoint! My personal impressions...
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.

All of the companies I've bought used tires from describe their tires pretty well but you should still be cautious. I always want to know the production dates and if there is any dry rot. I also won't buy anything that's under 7/32s remaining tread. I've got some great deals in the past on high end tires for as low as $150 per pair shipped.

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 ...

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??

I will be looking him up soon as I need to replace my all summer NT05's with some all season plus I am looking to go up from my current square set up of 265/35/18 to 285/35/18's. 265 isnt a bad size but since I am running 10.5" wide rims on all four corners I hate that the lip of the rim is the first thing to rub...already curbed the damn rims twice so far so need some meatier tires
