Part-worn tyres?
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.

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.

I hear what your saying.
- Im just wondering what i would pay for them.
The guy seams decent, member of our local club, so i mean i'll ask if they have been abused, but im sure there fine.
- Both my cars, and cars before, have come with (part worn) tyres and ive not replaced them.
At £65odd a corner for 048's or whatever they are thats £260. Which is quite a lot for a student who just bought a second car! There are the
R888's which seam to be about the cheapest, but there £50 still.
Cheers, Daniel
