Used Tires in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's salt-belt winters — roughly 42,000 tons of road salt spread every year — age tires fast, and that steady turnover keeps a healthy supply of good-tread takeoffs flowing through our shop. Every used tire we sell is hand-inspected before it goes anywhere near your car: tread measured in 32nds with a 4/32-inch minimum, sidewall and bead checked, and no plug-only repairs. You get an honest tread rating and mileage expectation before you pay, a 30-day road-hazard guarantee after, and same-day mount and balance on sizes in stock. Call (724) 679-7829 with your tire size — we're open 7 days a week, 7 AM to 9 PM.
No surprises. No upsells.
Photo-first pricing. We text you a photo of what's worn or needed before we touch a wrench. You approve, then we work.

Straight answers about used tires.
How much do used tires cost?
Used tires typically run well under half the price of a comparable new tire, with the exact number depending on size, brand, and remaining tread depth. We quote the mounted-and-balanced total before any work starts — call (724) 679-7829 with your tire size and we'll tell you what we have and what it costs.Are used tires safe?
Yes, when they're properly inspected — that inspection is the whole job. Ours are tread-rated at a 4/32-inch minimum, checked for sidewall bubbles, bead damage, and improper prior repairs, then backed by a 30-day road-hazard guarantee. A tire we wouldn't put on our own cars doesn't go on yours.What tread depth is safe for a used tire?
We certify used tires at 4/32-inch or better. Pennsylvania's state inspection cutoff under the PA Vehicle Code is 2/32-inch, but at 2/32 a tire is legally bald with almost no wet grip left. Starting at 4/32 or more means real usable life in front of you, not a tire that fails inspection next month.How long do used tires last?
Roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles per 32nd of usable tread, depending on how and where you drive. A used tire at 6/32 has real miles left; one at 4/32 is a budget bridge. Pittsburgh's hills and potholes shorten every tire's life — rotating every 5,000 to 7,500 miles helps you get all of them.Do you have used tires in my size?
Stock changes daily, so call with the size off your sidewall — something like 225/60R16. We regularly see Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, BFGoodrich, Continental, Cooper, and Falken come through. If your size isn't in today, we can usually source it fast.Can I get used tires installed today?
Yes. Sizes in stock mount and balance same-day, and we're open 7 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week — weekends included. Walk-ins are welcome, but a quick call to (724) 679-7829 confirms your size is on the shelf before you make the trip.Do you offer a warranty on used tires?
Every used tire we sell carries a 30-day road-hazard guarantee. Clip a pothole on the Parkway in the first month and wreck the tire, you're covered. That's on top of the hand inspection every tire gets — tread, sidewall, and bead — before it's ever offered for sale.Used vs. new tires — which makes more sense in Pittsburgh?
Used makes sense for a car you're selling soon, a lease return, a tight budget, or matching a single tire after a blowout. New makes sense when you're keeping the car and want full tread life and a longer road-hazard warranty. Tell us the situation and we'll lay out both options in your size.
