Discuss the pros and cons of buying re-treaded tires from Mexicans with @SpergioLeonne - Another retarded thread brought to you by USPG2

Isn't Spergio a bean burner? I bet the dude selling him these shitty tires is her cousin or some shit. Come on now.
 
The only thing I’d ask a Mexican about, when it comes to tires, is why the fuck did they steal my tires?

If you're in the market for 4 seasons (also known as no seasons), the only thing that matters is the DOT stamp on the side. They're all ditch finders, made of hard rubber for peak fuel efficiency / long service life. The only real difference between a $100 General and a $300 Michelin is noise and comfort.

Re-threads are perfectly fine for low speed applications like a farm truck or utility vehicles used around a campus/complex. Putting that garbage on your personal vehicle is welfare behavior.

- Pro Tip - Don't buy a car with a wack ass tire size.

My car's from '98 and I've been struggling to find 14" 190 tires. I can get some cheap 3 season ones but finding winter tires last year was impossible. It seems like the lowest new tires go is 15" for the most part these days.

Spergio is married to a Hopi woman, making him a based Pahana and kachinapilled. Of all the Native American tribes to marry into, the Hopi are a solid one. They were never conquered, they don't piss and moan all the time, and they maintained their culture. The different tribes literally live on top of mesas and all they ask of the white man is to leave them alone.
 
Aren't you paying more than just buying proper new ones upfront, as you have far less life with used tires, so you have to buy 2-3 sets instead of once new?

Have you considered putting it on 32s?

I know this struggle. I had a '99 car for a long time and had to give it up because finding new parts was impossible. It got to the point that I'd go from junkyard to junkyard looking for what I needed with no luck.

I've been pretty lucky for the most part as far as parts go. It's a Toyota so I've found pretty much everything I've needed for it fairly readily available from shops for a decent price. Except tires.

I would put used tires on my old pos car that I didn't care about. It's not something I'd consider now that I have a car I like.
