Single used tires, matched pairs and sets — each one listed with measured tread depth and its DOT date code.
A used tire is only worth what you can verify about it, so the evidence is recorded before it goes on the rack — and again against your vehicle before it goes on your car.
01
Tread depth is read with a gauge in the main grooves at more than one point across the tread. Every reading is published, not a flattering average — a tire that is 8/32 on one side and 4/32 on the other is telling you something about the car it came off.
02
The DOT Tire Identification Number is recorded and published. The last four digits are the week and the year the tire was built. Rubber ages whether or not it is driven, so the date matters independently of the tread.
03
Previous repairs, cosmetic damage and uneven wear are recorded per tire and shown on the listing. If a tire is close to the point where the shop would not sell it, the listing says so.
04
Load index, speed rating and the door placard all matter, so the size on the sidewall is checked against what your vehicle was built for before anything is installed. That check happens in person, at the shop.
05
A used tire is mounted, inflated to the placard pressure, balanced and torqued back on exactly the same way a new one is. Being second-hand changes the price, not the installation.
Nothing here says "like new", "certified" or "guaranteed", and no warranty on a used tire is claimed, because none is verified. What you get instead is the measurement, the date and the condition notes for the specific tire in front of you.
Matching size is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee. Load index, speed rating and your vehicle's door placard all matter — we confirm fitment at the shop before installing.
Stock moves, so the racks are worth confirming by phone before you drive over. One shop, one address.

In California a tire is legally worn out at 2/32". Wet-weather grip falls off well before that. Every used listing on this site shows its measured depth so you can judge the margin yourself rather than take a word for it.
The DOT code gives the week and year of manufacture, which is published on every used listing. There is no single legal age limit, so the date is given to you as a fact to weigh rather than filtered behind a rule invented here.
Yes. Singles, matched pairs and sets are all listed. Buying one to match three you already own is a common reason people come in.
Yes. Photos on a used listing are of that specific tire, not a manufacturer's catalogue image.
Used stock is single items, so a listing can go while you are on your way. Calling before you drive over is the reliable way to confirm a specific tire is still on the rack.
That has not been confirmed for publication, so this site does not claim it either way. Call and ask — the answer is free.
New tires ordered and fitted in the size, load index and speed rating your vehicle calls for.
