When it does come to the time to buy a new set of tires, picking out just the right model can be a little bit confusing and incredibly expensive. This is why some people can tend to stray toward buying used tires to save a couple of bucks.

Well, you see, tires have all sorts of different metrics other than their tread life because, thanks to a plethora of other factors, you rubber can break down in other ways. Therefore, even if the tread is perfect, the ride could be a little bit more dangerous than you had originally bargained for. That’s not a good place to be in.

Follow along with the video below that shows you what to look out for when shysters try to pass off their worn out old products for something that it isn’t. Even if you do decide to go out there and buy yourself a used set of tires, it’s always a good idea to arm yourself with the right information first so that you know that you’re getting yourself into when it comes to something that’s so integral for your safety.
