The Birds and the Bees: Where Do Used Tires Come From
Is it time to sit down and have the talk about where used tires come from?
With somewhere around the area of 15,000 used tires in stock, the TireZoo is one of the largest used tire dealers in the US. There’s something special about being able to provide used tires, and here’s why: Unless you have a vast inventory of used tires to select from, chances are you won’t be able to help someone match a sole tire exactly. But we can!
The TireZoo receives high quality used tires from other tire dealers who aren’t able or willing to stock such a large 
supply of used tires. Many places that sell new tires aren’t able to sell used tires. We are able to step in and help out. We take the used tires, and make them available to people looking for quality used tires or to match/change out a specific tire with the exact percentage of remaining tread. Yes, it can be done!
We also get quality used tires from auto dealerships. Many times dealerships take in a trade, but change out the tires with all new tires. This leaves excellent used tires; used tires needing a place to go. That’s where we come in.

Why would I buy used tires? 
How do I decide what is best for me and my vehicle?
These are a couple common questions people have about buying tires. They are good questions, and there isn’t one simple answer. There is, however, reasons to buy used tires instead of new ones.
Many of our customers are very happy with so many options to choose from, so we thought we’d share with you some of their reasons for opting to buy used tires instead of new ones.
- You’re low on cash and can’t afford new. Let’s face it. People are on budgets, and quality used tires are a very good option for people who don’t have it in their wallets to buy new tires right now.
- You blew out one tire and don’t want to replace them all. We have a such large inventory that in most cases we can match your existing tire exactly so you don’t have to replace all four.
- Not sure how long your vehicle will keep ticking?Used tires are a good idea if you have a high milage vehicle and can’t warrant putting new tires on.
- You have a lease return that is due in the next couple months. If the tires on your vehicle are worn, we can help you find tires that will pass lease inspection.
- You have a car with front-end issues you can’t afford to fix right now.
- You are just hard on tires and end up blowing them out before the tread wears out.Maybe people who drive vehicles for unusal purposes or hazards; off-road, potholes, rough terrain, etc.
- You want to save money on like-new tires! Many times we have “like new” take off sets, and people just want to save money. Why not?
- The Tire Zoo offers a 30 day warranty on all used tires.
Many people worry about the quality of used tires, but we have only a 5% return rate on used tires. That is extremely low. The Tire Zoo has been assisting with new and used tires for over 30 years. Check us out today!
