$167 for a set of four with good tires (3 different brands though). One tire showing minor damage.

On a hyundai tiburon, but the bolt pattern matches the Mazda5. So tempting.

I would only run them if they had the same brand on the same axel, 3 different brands doesn’t work.

if you replace the tires...I have enough of an issue with one tire being mismatched, let alone 3 different brands....

As long as you’re buying them for just the rims and not really wanting to use the tyres, I say go for it at that price.

That’s cosmetic damage only. But three different brands is just dumb.

No, never buy used tires.

I think the McDonald’s cap in the back seat may explain it somewhat.

Mix and matching tires doesn’t seem like a great idea.

Front to back I don’t see an issue with it but 3 mismatched tires is dumb. Plus they look like cheap tires. Who knows what kinda shape the cords are in. Would have to check date code to see age.

I’ve had both good and bad luck with used tires. Last set I bought ended up being out of round and would vibrate a ton. Luckily the seller refunded me my money.

Uh oh. I’m running on a set of used Firestones now, but at least all four match.
