    America's Tires. I go to the shop in Union City.  Also check where nail is, if in center can be fixed, if on side always gotta get new tire.

    If you really want used tires, your best chance, in my experience, is a place with a big sign: Llantas usadas

    But I would not buy used tires.

    Buy at least two of the same tire for either front or rear, to balance the handling.

    2 weeks ago I replaced a back tire (it was free replacement cuz I bought initial replacement maybe 2-3 months ago from Firestone.

    But early this week, the other back tire had a nail on the sidewall, so I ended up with same tire from Wheel Works.

    CDD, make sure your tires are always inflated to the specs on the door jamb.

    2 tires in 2 weeks?? (although you did not illuminate why tire one was replaced)  
    I have gone my whole life and never had a sidewall puncture.
    I would be walking around my car before driving off, for the next few weeks.

    Hi Jay,
    Back right tire was replaced maybe 2-3 months ago (after maybe 4 years of use on bad tire)
    But that new tire got a nail on the thread, but Firestone replaced it instead of patching it.

    Then early this week, the sensor indicated a low pressure tire. After inspecting, left rear had a nail on the side almost by the corner of the tread. Fix a flat was added. But I don't want to take a chance. So now, it's replaced with sane tire brand and size. So both tires are only 2 weeks apart.

    But will watch my back and tires for the time being.

    Nail in a tire is easily fixed. Any tire shop should do it for under $20

    I would get all tires replaced if they were all bought the same time because you can see how they have worn? In the past when I have gotten a nail or had them rotated, I have been told how many more miles to go they should be safe? I like to prevent stupid stuff wearing out so I don't get stuck at the mercy of an emergency fix it place. I absolutely hate doing business like this when I have no options
