I need a new set of tyres and have been offered a set of part worn A048's
- Im going to have to ring and talk prices, and get a guage of how much there actaully worn. Photos too i guess.
But before i do, how much do you usally pay for part-worn tyres?
Say there've been on for 2months and are basicaly new?
- Else if there about half gone?
These are 205 60 R13's, possably on a set of wheels, or put onto my set.

In the past I think Ive paid between £10 and £20 per tyre for A032's
They are heavily worn tyres however but I only did 2000 miles last year, mostly on the road and so they werent getting hammered
They are as worth as much as anyone will pay.
You don't know any history about them - there could be internal damage that is not visible. Remember tyres are the only thinkg that stick you to
the road - is it worth the risk to save a few pounds?
Although I've used part-worns before, I think there are some really good budget tyres around now for not much more than you will pay for P/Ws.
I've had budgets in the past that were basically a Uniroyal tread pattern but made in Poland so about 40% cheaper!
They gripped well and lasted for ever but if I'm honest they weren't the quietest tyre.
they were 'Stomil' but I don't know whether they are available still.
