I went into South Tire Market and called Pomps. Neither one sells used drive tires. If the casing is good they send them to get recapped.
I have 3 tires at 8/32 and one at 3/32. I want to change the 3/32 one and when they all bad get virgins. Even though virgins tend to be boring. Would Loves have used tires?
Do people sell used drive tires?

Lot of people stopped selling then due to liability. Most TAs however still carry them. I typically pick up a used one whenever im forced to use my spare. Just make sure to inspect before you buy. Most TAs are pretty good at kicking aside scabs. Some just dont care and you gets what you get.Siinman, exhausted379 and 77fib77 Thank this.

Loves doesn't they wouldn't even mount a used tire if you have one . TA and some independent shops have them. They say it's a insurance thing.OLDSKOOLERnWV, 77fib77, austinmike and 2 others Thank this.

Plenty of tire shops sell used tires. Try smaller tire shops.W923, Sons Hero, austinmike and 3 others Thank this.

Try smaller shops around you. If you can’t find one to match up you could always buy 4 new ones and sell your three with good tread.
On my blue truck my drives were down enough going into winter that I wanted to pull them off. They were right there in that 7 to 9/32 range. Sapp Bros in Council Bluffs gave me $225 each because they were going to be able to sell them easily.Siinman, austinmike and 77fib77 Thank this. -
The LS discount is good I got 4 new ones for 2k last year. Oil is up now. If i can pay 300 and push the 2k I would like that.

I called a petro they uave used tires.

Most of the big shops don’t mess with them because they want the new tire sale instead. Truck tires take up storage room space and they don’t want to take up that room with used tires. Nothing to do with insurance. It’s Their corporate heads or lawyers that worry about the “liability” and put those policies in place.

Mobil tire guys will take them ..

I went to a petro the used tires were pretty weak. I ended up replacing a row of 4. All virgin just to be done with it. With LS discount it's around 550 mounted. Vs. 300 for a short term fix.
Concorde Thanks this.
