Juuuunk yard tires are the best. Someone out there totaled their car and the tires that survived are sitting there waiting for you to find. The guy who has em doesnt want em. He wants the shelf for more valuable stuff.

Happy hunting.

Junk yards in general are great. Just pick up spares of literally anything you need

I really wish junkyards would be more of a thing here.

Where is "here"?

If it's anywhere in Europe, you can get shit delivered from ovoko/rrr. Have used them to get parts from Latvia and Lithuania that I couldn't find in Estonia (specific color doors so I wouldn't have to paint). It's like Amazon for used car parts, minus the whole taking over the world thing.

Yep. My local junkyard sells tires at $5 each, most of them perfectly good.

Can be hit or miss whether they have the size you need, though.

Or used tire shop

Yep, if you find a good one, these are great bang for the buck.
