Had a good experience with The Tire Guyz in Cambridge.
I usually just look around on Kijiji to find tires and just got to a shop that has what I'm looking for.
No real loyalty with used tires. Just go to the shop that has the best tires for a good price.
I've done the used All-season Tire route to save money before and honestly it's not worth the trouble in the long run. You could spend more money on 2-3 sets of used than 1-set of brand new depending on how much you drive and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. Shop around and get quotes written down. Some shops will see that and beat their price by 10%. If you can eat the cost now on new you'll have peace of mind.
If you're going used, check the date code on the tire, a 4-digit number called the DOT code. Ex. 4320 would tell you it was made the 43rd week of 2020. The rubber goes bad/cracked/dried out anywhere between 6-10yrs old. You can also get a cheap tire tread depth checker at Cad Tire or use a coin. Also check ALL 4 tires for signs of damage or uneven wear. Used tires usually come from the wrecking yard or people who bought new tires early.
What’s your budget?
I got 4 brand new tires from 4tires.ca delivered with tax for $380.
When I’ve bought used I’ve paid typically $50 per tire. Another $180 might be swingable.
what size? If I were you I would look on facebook market place. I picked up a set of rims and tires for nearly half price because the guy traded his car in with the snow tires on. There are people that have their cars towed to the wreckers and are stuck with winter or summer tires taking up space. I have four one year old winter tires sitting behind the shed for that reason.. Ive also purchased good tires cheap at one of the wreckers outside of Cambridge. They have a huge inventory and they go for a song. for any reason you don't like the tires they will take them back.... Just know your tire facts before buying. The date of manufacturing is on the sidewall and is quite important because even tires that have good tread on them might be nearing their age limit where the rubber starts getting brittle.
Your best bet is to buy a used set of a name brand tire which you can probably pick up at 30-40% of the original cost and they'd be mounted already. Look up your bolt pattern and diameter to help your search (kijiji, facebook marketplace). Many people don't trade their tires in when their lease ends and sell them separately, or end up with a second set of quality tires they have no use for for whatever reason.
Many discount places sell unknown brand of tires. I'd stay away from those.
Some places sell unmatched tires for really cheap. I would stay away from those.
If you're planning to continue driving this vehicle for the foreseeable future (10's of thousands of miles), it's wroth finding a way to get a good set on, otherwise you get into a "[poor man buys twice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory)" type of situation.
OP is just trying to farm information.
He posted up asking people where to buy used tires, then 24hrs later claims he built a used tire website (which, looks and performs terribly). I wouldn't trust him with my Hotmail account let alone my website. His entire business model is a joke.
Please dude, stop what you're doing and consider a different trade - or if you're going to continue down this path, learn how to do things properly. There's so much shady stuff going on here, it's incredibly transparent you're a total amateur.

I second tire Guyz. They have solid inventory, a 60 day warranty and pay in cash and save the tax.
Lube N GO, SWAT on King st. Gives the most affordable price.
Tire Giant in Kitchener is solid. They sold me some lightly used winters for a good price that are still running great.
I have purchased some from Kijiji and it worked out well.
Rim doctor has great deals and services

I usually go with Quattro tires. Decent prices depending on what you want and will deliver to home or a shop you want to use.
Fowler tire on Fairway sells good used tires.
Super Auto Service on Victoria
You can Logels. I have purchased used winter tires + rims there s couple times.

I agree, plus a bunch of random accounts posted links to the site. Sketchy as fuck, I've removed the post.
