Used tires are tricky. Unless you have something to compare then to, you have no way of knowing if they are shit. I used to have quite a collection of heat cycled out tires That looked wonderful. You wouldn't know that unless you had mounted & ran them plus had something to compare them against. This brings up another problem. Guys who know better than I say you can't learn to properly drive good tires on shot ones. These guys have more money spend on tires than I...but there it is. I did learn that new tires are worth about a second & a half over cycled out tires........1.5 sec is a life time at AX.
If your just starting out in AX you may as well wear out street tires. If your past that, Kumho 710s are cheaper than Hoosiers, last longer, but are a touch slower. |

On the other hand if your working on a tight budget Mr. John B. can get you some good tires. The cost saving difference is more than half, but do the new tire thing if your budget is there. |
