Are Used Tires Worth It? Things To Think About When Buying Used Tir

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

So the time has come to replace your tires. Other than the size, type, and brand, you’re also considering the price when picking options for new tires. When considering all those factors, especially pricing, your choices are narrowed between used and new tires.

While new tires are the safest and optimal option, you can’t ignore used tires. Buying used tires to replace your old ones also has benefits, including being cheaper than new tires. However, there are also risks linked with them, such as their safety for driving.

If you’re considering putting used tires on your vehicle, you have to think about it thoroughly because your car’s driving performance will depend on it. First, ask yourself: “are used tires worth it?” So here are the things you should consider when thinking about buying used tires.
Compare and contrast

One of the best things to do when thinking of purchasing used tires is to compare them to new ones while also considering your current circumstances. Compare and contrast to weigh in before making your decision. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, this is a nice way of mulling over your options.

Depending on how long the used tires were used before they were put up for sale, they might not have any warranty. Warranties are useful for replacing tires with defects and repairing damages sustained when they fail to perform as intended. They usually cover the first year after the tires are purchased, so unless the used tires you’re looking at weren’t used past that, then they don’t have one.

While buying a new set of tires from a credible brand like Triangle Tires Philippines offers the benefit of warranties, they’re usually more expensive. That’s why others elect to buy used tires over new ones.

Used tires are also great if you’re driving a leased vehicle. If you think you’re going to exceed your lease’s allotted mileage, you can avoid penalties by swapping its tires with used ones.
Safety

Are used tires safe for driving? The answer depends on its condition. If they were well-maintained, then they’re still safe to drive with.

You should look at two things when considering the safety of used tires: tread depth and damage. Should you push through with buying used tires, check to see if they haven’t exceeded or is near to reaching the tread depth limit.

Also, inspect the tires for any damages like deep cuts or bulges. Move on to the next one should you see any.
Tread life

The life of your tires depends on the wear its treads absorb. If you opt to purchase pre-owned tires, expect that they have a depleted tread life. Some brands have tires designed to have a better tread life than others, while in some cases, tread life depends on the type of tire.

Factors outside manufacturing also influence tread life which includes driving behavior. For example, if you usually drive fast or drive off-road, you can’t use pre-owned tires since they don’t have enough tread to provide the traction you need to stay in contact with the surface you’re driving on.
Savings

The amount you can save from purchasing used tires depends on how long you’re looking at timewise. Looking at it short term, it does provide a lot of savings. For instance, buying used tires with the same brand as the ones you’ll replace can exceed 50% of savings, which is a significant amount.

However, if you’re looking at it in the long term, buying used tires will only cost you more. New tires are expected to last for three to four years, and excluding any maintenance expense, it’s a better purchase for the long run.
Wrap up

Are used tires worth it? Yes, if you’re looking for a temporary replacement until you can buy a set with fresh treads. No, if you’re looking for rubber that you can use longer.

Think it over before opting to buy them as a replacement. New tires are still recommended because they have better quality, equating to better performance and optimal safety.
