Wouldnt normally touch part worns but....
 

My 2 rear tyres are close on the limit and odd makes so I thought take the plunge just before the weather gets bad and put 2 new on, I have Landsail tyres on the front so was hoping to match them all if possible. guy say's I got a bargain here for you I have 2 part worn landsails with 6mm tread he did me the 2 fully fitted and balanced £40 that saved me a few sheckles today

Ive run part worns on my van for last 6 years, do 50000 miles a year with a lot of stop starting cornering and general abuse and often under heavy loads, never had any problems and in fact only 2 punctures in all that time

I've run a set of Rotalla tyres on my ZT for two years with no problems. They are about sixty quid a corner and a hundred quid cheaper than a premium brand.

The way i look at it, respect the tyres in road conditions and all will be well.

I suppose the tyre snobs will jump on me, but i'll stand my ground. ;)

With xmas coming it was £60 quid saving in my pocket id have been looking at £100 for 2 new

Ive been getting part worns for the past few years with no problems and big savings

Glad you all get on with partly worn tyres.

There are two things on a car I will never buy used:-

1. Tyres
2. Brake parts

The things that keep you safe should be first priority and not second hand

I have to agree with this simple sensible observant driving will always out weigh the need for any mega bucks rubber

So not even a top premium branded tyre with 1mm of wear would be avoided by ones good self?

Yes, it would be avoided............history unknown etc.

And with 1mm wear chances are a new one is about the same price.

Again, I wouldn't buy used tyres, premium or otherwise, 1 mm wear or less.

I want to know the tyres I buy are not used, repaired or have hidden( read none disclosed) faults.

I have run part workers for years, without problems, touches wood in anticipation. I don't do anything like the miles you do, about 10 k a year in the van,stop start parking up against kerbs, and the car only does about 7000 a year, the majority of it being 3-4 miles per day, with a few hundred towing the caravan.
