It just called black gold. They take parts and tires off cars that get totaled. I've bought tires with 90% tread on them for 100 dollars for a set of 4.

I'm totally filing that one away in my brain. Thanks, Marko.

The last time I purchased tires for my truck, they were over $1800.

Brand new tires are 80% markup. Biggest rip off

Oh and one of the owners of black gold has a reef tank

You can also try pick and pull on the west end. They sell rims and tires cheap as well. They are the kidney foundation sponsor up here.

Do they do mounting and install? I have only been to the brandname shops with my work trucks but it all ways seems pricy. Heh trying to sell my beater 91 acclaim right now and it needs new treads as one is so blistered it shakes the whole front end. can't justify spending much money on a car barely worth 500$.
