Recommendation for used tires?
I need to pick up a pair of 185/75 R14 tires for my 'spare' car this Thursday or Friday. Reasonably decent all season should be fine. Any recommendations for a source? There a few dealers on CL in Poco Burnaby and Surrey, not sure if some are better than others?

otherwise there is craigslist.

Make sure you check the manufacturing date (nothing older than 5 years) and check for patches that are too close to the sidewall.

Not to shit on your thread but imo tires and brakes are two things you shouldn't cheap out on on your car.
If you can't afford new tires, save up and replace two at a time, always new ones in front because you need those to steer.
Even cheap new tires will be better than used good tires

Not strictly true.
I'll put my used Nokian winter tires against any cheap new winter tire any day and I'll guarantee it'll outperform them all.
If a used tire has a lot of tread left, no questionable patches, and is within the manufacturing date, then there's no reason why buying a good brand/model would be a poor buy.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of tire shops wont install two different styles of tires on your car simply due to liability issues. They'll usually mount those tires on a separate set of rims, give them to you, and you then have to mount the rims on your car.

Actually when I was researching for my car when I had to buy two tires that it's recommended for new tires be placed in the rear because if they're placed in the front it will cause oversteer when hydroplaning.
