Hi I'm marvis and I'm povo.

I like to purchase second hand tires for the rears. Where do people suggest I go to get second hand tires and have them installed.

Ipswich/Brisbane Areas.

Thanks,
marvis.

hey man, i work at tyres plus labrador, we sell a few 2nd hand tyres but dont normally get anything in the 15s and lower, u can get decent 14s under the 100 each mark. i might also ad we have a baby elephant for streching rims too

go to the wreckers man. abundants of tyres for cheap and they will put them on too. if they dont want to put them on just get some brake cleaner and a lighter.

lol yea i get that, but think about it, u spend like $80 on a a pair of just legal tyres, which last say what a few decent skids, when you can buy a brand new pair for double that, which will then last u about 3 times aslong, dont get me wrong i used to get 2nd hand tyres all the time when i had my S13, but i got tyres that had like 80% tread casue the customer didnt like the road noise, not tryin to be picky or nag at ya just thinkin about your wallet

2nd hand tyre places usually only have tyres with a decent amount of tread...
I got 2 x kumho ecstas and 2 x goodyear eagle f1's both 195/50/15's for my daily for $60 each, all had a good 85-90% tread left on em...

I do like to get new tyres on the 86 though, want some adrenalins pretty badly..

coleman tyres are fucking ridiculous. pair of rock hard 205/55/15 re88s with 20% tread for 80.. each.. "if im a drifter and come back and get more"

just ring around most tyre shops have some second hand stock.. usually try bridgestone n bob jan in sumner park they have a fair bit. but beware, what you can pay like $60 a pair for you can find in tyre piles. most shops dont give a shit as long as you dont make a mess

btw can get you brand new tyres through work if your keen.. $135 for a pair of 185/60/14 kenda komet.. great tyres to skid on and last for ages..

kenda komets are alright for the money as above

i used to work in a tyre shop and really hated the people that scratched around, best excuse you can use is you are wanting to grow potatoes or you need them for your horses, and say something like the drums i use work best with 15s and you dont want any with wire out of them, if you get 10 and only want 2 go to the tip ditch the others for 5 bucks, go to a tyre fitting place and pay 10 bucks and you get your tyres for around 15 bucks a pair

Pitstop at wacol always had stacks of the old throw away tyres sitting at the side of the shed, Dunno if they do anymore.

I used to do tyre runs all the time, but its always a gamble and more often or not you get shit tyres, they look sweet at the time until you check em in daylight and find a hole or some wack shit wrong with them.. best I ever got tho was a decent pair of GIII's and RE01's.. get a few good skid tyres but I just prefer to have brand new ones these days...
Also got done with possession of tainted goods over some tyres that I got once... had 6 nice pirrelli tyres that got confiscated and a day fucking around in court.... sick, not

I don't want to go far. Is it hard to get tires on/off rims? I'll just use fire to get it on the bead.

can be very difficult removing tyres without a machine, can use actualy tyre leavers
