4/32 Left on used tire

[Twista]

I have no idea if i should get them. He wants $100 for both tires.

This tire ==> http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+F1+GS-D3

for a v8 mustang with normal summer driving. I need something so i can take off my brigdestone winter tires.

Is 4/32 bad for $100?/

EDIT: Sorry, please move to the auto section. I thought i clicked "the garage". sorry again.

Tires should be replaced at 3/32", so why would you buy tires that are nearly completely worn out?

:hmm: no Idea. Thats why i came to Anandtech to ask some people that might know. Thanks for letting me know. I was told they was 4/32.. this tire dept thing is new to me.

Those are ready to be thrown out...find better tires.

That is $50/tire.

You should be able to get cheap new tires that will give you at least 40K for $60-70

:| Im going to keep looking. Sadly, new ones cost $150 each. 275-40-17 tires.

In our day, that would be true.
These tires when new have barely 1/4" of tread, so technically, they are only 1/2 worn.

Besides, its summer time. What rain?

Is that the size for the vehicle or what you want for the vehicle.

Many can have different sizes.

The rim is the deciding factor.

Style vs cost.

()🙂 Its just style. The stock size is 245-45-17 which is a lot cheaper. 275-40-17 just looks mean on the back of a mustang. The wider the better, but price :\

275's are overrated. If you want meats, get 315's, 335's or go home. ;-)

Gotta pay to play. Unfortuneately the size range you are looking for is the magic line past which new tires go from costing $60 a tire to suddenly running $120+ a tire.

I think you'd be better off just buying even the cheapest store brand new tire than worn out used tires. 4/32 on the rear of a V8 Mustang is just not a good idea. Just spend the money now and get it over with, instead of looking for tires again in a month, or worse, wrecking.

As stated above either cut back on the size or bite the bullet on price

Use the showy tires from April to Nov.

Then put on the snow treads.
I do the same for my Jeeps; except the tires are not showy and the snows are on from Oct to May

I put the BFH mod on mine for some 315/335's but I got tired of shelling out the cash to replace them. :evil: I've since dropped to 275's but for track duty I run 255 Mickeys.
