I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place for used tires. I bought a 2000 Dodge Intrepid from a junk yard so I was not looking to put brand new tires on my vehicle. This guy was highly recommended by some people so I went there and checked it out. Who can beat 4 tires installed for 125, no one. Great Deal right. NOT! Months later I was driving down the road, after2 sets of tires from him, and my passenger side front tire begins wobbling badly. So I pullover check it out and notice it is only being held on by one lug nut. My husband was going to take one from another tire and put it on to get us home but when he took the last lug nut off, it broke off. When the tire fell off we discovered we had NO STEMS left on the rotor. Now for why. ... when a mechanic puts tires on he should use a torque wrench and if not by all means MAKE HIM. By over tightening the lug nuts it caused the stems to stretch, weaken and break. Thankfully, no one was hurt during all of this but someone else out there may not be so lucky, so please the word along. F you want to go there do so, but ensure he uses a torque wrench with the proper setting. Each car is different so know your setting proir to changing tires.
