by Tim Salivan Software EngineeringSometimes buying new tires for your car can be an unexpected expense in the already heavy budget. This is the kind of time that you consider checking out for 2nd hand tires. Yes, that's right. Used tires. You know that they are cheap so naturally you should be scampering to get them. However, there is a bigger question in mind; that of safety. That's why tirebuyer.com started selling wheels and tires online cheaper than the local stores. From Dunlop, Michelin, Goodyear, Toyo to Bridgestone, Firestone, Uniroyal, Kumho, Nitto, Cooper, Ironman, Dick Cepek, Carlisle, Nexen and Kumho, tirebuyer.com offers all these in a discount, plus there are a tirebuyer coupons for an extra discount. An android app may help you find one.
First Of All, Is There Really A Used Tires Market?
Second hand tires are available mostly in mechanic shops,
junkyards and sometimes even tire shops. Mechanics get them from cars that they
have worked on and junkyards get them from wrecked cars where tires have been
salvaged.
These tires are priced much lower than their new
versions and this is what lures the potential customer to them.
What Should I Know Before Buying?
The common way for checking for tire condition is
checking the treads. Check for how far the tread is worn and also if the tread
is worn evenly. This may help you gauge the condition and age of the tire.
Check for signs of repainting as this may be used to
conceal some defects.
Check for how the tire has been repaired before. Stay
away from tires with signs of improper repair.
Check for unusual shapes in the tires. Tires that
exhibit unusual bulges, no matter how small, you should avoid.
When A Good Deal Be Like?
Before you buy however it is advisable to seek the
advise of a trained eye. You might not be able to gauge how good and usable the
tire is. An expert, like your mechanic, will give you an honest opinion on the
tires before you purchase them. If he okays them then you can cash in.
Tires normally have date codes embedded on the walls
of the tires. Learning how to read these codes will help you determine the age
of the tires. A tire that is 1 to 2 years old may be a good deal. However,
there are other factors other than age that you may need your mechanic to check
for you.
You can also measure the tread depth using a special
tool. This may give you insight as to how long the tire has bee used and how
much longer it can be used. If the tread is closer to a new tire than it is to
an old one, buying the tires might be a good deal.
Are They Safe?
It is almost impossible to accurately gauge the safety
of a 2nd hand tire by looking at it. This is because of the following reasons:
a) It may be difficult to calculate the age of a tire
that has been painted over.
b) You can't know how the tire was used (terrain and
workload) before it was put on sale.
c) You might get a tire that has worn out unevenly due
to poor alignment by its previous owner.
d) You can't know if the tire had been exposed to
harsh weather conditions that may have caused tire deterioration.
e) Improper repair may be difficult to note.
These are all potential risks associated with 2nd hand
tires.
There are definitely risks involved in buying used
tires. Opinion is divided but generally people lean towards 2nd hand tires as
being unsafe.
This is because there is no conclusive way to
determine the safety of a 2nd hand tire.
Buying 2nd hand tires is definitely a gamble.
