What To Look For When Buying Used Tires

Be Aware Of Bulges

If you roll a tire and it wobbles or notice any bulges in the sidewall, take note. A bubble or bulge may indicate damage to the tire’s inner liner. The damage is usually the result of an impact with something like a curb or pothole and can impact the durability of the sidewall. If it cannot or is not repaired properly, a tire blowout is likely. If, when rolling the tire, the treads appear to move to the side, it has a belt separation and is not a used tire to purchase.
