need tires...need constructive opinions

DavidInIndy

Hey everyone:

I'm estimating that I have less than 10K of treadlife on my rear tires...and they're the original BF Goodrich Potenza's. Does anyone see probs with purchasing two single tires (same brand, model...honestly the exact same tire) but from eBay?

My motive is obviously a cheaper price. I'd say something like 40% off retail maybe. And I'm only interested in new tires, period.

Here's an example of one that I was interested in:

This place is roughly 1.5 hrs from me. Any opinions...good or bad???

Not an all season tire like he's looking for.

The only downside is if something happens to them, you'll have to track down an eBay company to get a new set vs going to a dealer or reputable store.

I got my Z at Ed Martin on Shadeland. When I needed tires I looked around for the type I was interested in and found a low price. I talked to the dealer, told them what I wanted, where I found 'em, and how much they wanted. They matched the price. I like the fact that if I have problems I can go to my dealer and get it taken care of.

I personally don't like to mix types of tires. The Potenzas seemed to be doing well, then went pretty quickly toward the end, so you may wind up needing two more soon anyway. I got a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. I'm planning on getting a set of Yokohama Advan Neova 08s for summer use. I'm figuring on several winters of use out of the Michelins.
