I have a 2005 Sebring Convertible w/ 130K, 1 owner car in perfect condition and never driven in the snow. I bought a set of Discount Tire Ohtsu tires in 2014, put about 12,000 miles on them and they have a ton of wear. A shop in town has a set of used Premier A/S tires w/ about 7-8/32 of tread and they want $260 installed for the set. 2 of the tires have a plug/patch repair on the tread. Would this be a good deal? I plan on keeping this car forever since there are no longer family size convertibles on the market that can hold 2 sets of golf clubs. I want good tires but don't want to spend more than the value of my car to get them.
Used Michelin Premier Tires?

What tire size? 205/65/15? If so, for about $300 you can get brand new General RT43s. I'd rather get that than used tires that have been repaired.
It's one thing if you plug/repair a tire that you own, but it's another thing to go looking for trouble. Where's the patch? Many tire shops won't repair/patch a tire that has a puncture in the outer ribs. Some smaller independents might though.

Sounds high & risky to me. I recently bought a set of Michelin MXMs for my MIL's G6, P205/50R17s with 7-8/32s left, for $40-for ALL FOUR!
Check out Ebay as Discount Tire often sells new with free shipping there.
I want used tires as much as a used toothbrush.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's twice what I'd spend on four used tires. You can get brand new tires for that price. Walmart carries Mastercraft now. In the size 205/65-15, they have Douglas and Mastercraft tires for about $270 installed, for a set of four.
The only time to get used tires is in an emergency, or as a spare.

I got 4 contintinal purecontacts for 260 after rebate and another 50 to balance n install from discount tire + local shop.
I personally wouldnt go for used tires, you just dont know what your getting yourself into. Even with good tred, if tires has been sitting in sun its going to harden and be less effective.
I simply wouldnt cheap out on tires, its what connects you to the road.

I picked up a pair of Michelin Primacy mxvs in 205.60.16 with 8/32 tread for 65.00 on Monday. I'd pass.
