Need a CHEAP used tire 225/50/17

Had a tire blow out on a pothole tonight (damn NY roads!!) and i was about to order all new tires this week :-( the deal im getting from TreadDepot.com is really good so im hoping someone around here has an old tire i can buy off them to roll on for a week or so until I can get the new tires on

Please leave a response here or feel free to email me at MikeyMoNYC@aol.com!!

Thanks!!

i'd say your more likely finding someone with a spare set of wheels than 1 tire

Tire repair shops in BX usually sell used tires for around 20-30. I just wouldn't recommend driving on them for more than a month or in your case 2 weeks.

picked up a decent continental contisport contact tire at Xtra Tire Shop in Long Island City for $35...they also mounted and balanced it for another $10....guys there were mad cool i was actually pretty impressed considering it was one of those dumpy taxi service places....they had a whole garage full of used tires and a bunch that fit the 17" TSX wheels...definitely recommend them
