Default suggestions for finding second hand tires?

Hey guys,

I've been recently trying to get into drifting. I've done all the work i need and now i wanna get to practicing. I have two sets of rims, my dailies and ugly spares, i was wondering if any of you have suggestions of where i could get either free/ or cheap tires. I tried a few tire shops near me, none of them said they had 17s... I was thinking maybe a stealership but i don't want to pay TOO much for used tires as i might as well jsut buy new ones.

The back of car dealerships on sundays. Be stealthy.

Some tire shops throw out old tires. If they say no, they probably just don't want to be bothered. Site member tonyn works at a tire shop and he might save particular sized tires that you are looking for. Try to pm him

Yep. From experience dealers put them out back. I'm sure if you asked, and just said they'll be disposed of properly, they wouldn't mind.
