Full Version: WTB: (2) WORN tires, 15"

I would like to make the car a good "roller" for the new owner and the shipper.

Do a web search on used tires in Santa Rosa . There are about twenty places in your area that sell used tires. 15 inch , bald tire should not be more than 20.00 .
Mounted and not balanced. Should be 5/10 tops. Look around ....
That old toast is close........
Cheers

I bet I pass a few places on the way to work.... good advice.
Cheers!
Used tire stores have tons of tire's, I get newer but baldy's for rollers. $5 Pacheco
Aircooled VW 4-bolt rims work, if you have a vw shop nearby they would likely sell you a tire already on a rim cheap.
I bet that their recycle pile of any Tire shop is likely to have some 15's they would practically give you for free
Update.....
On my way home yesterday, I stopped into an independent tire retailer in my neighborhood. Owner is foreign..... VERY cool guy.
I tell him that I need two old tires... I explain the use. "Nothing fancy..... they are for a rolling shell..... older the better, as long as they hold air. I was thinking $10?"
He says, "$30 for the two".
I say.... "Umm..... but you are about to throw these out (he had pulled tow from a scrap heap)".
He says, "Yes, but you are screwed until you can get the car to roll. $30 for my time.... the tires are free".
At least he was honest.
$30 it is to support the local economy!
(Thank you all for your advice)

Yes..... $30 includes removing my old tires, mounting two refreshed.
Fine with me. I'm sure I could have saved a few bucks looking around... but he's right around the corner.
All good.

Buddy,
I almost forgot that I have a steel wheel with a good tire (that holds air) that you can have for free if you can make the trip up to Vacaville. It's your if you need it.
Thanks,
Dominic
