I would NEVER buy used tires for my luxury cars. They cause more headaches. They have poor thread wear and cause bad handling and vibration. Best to spend the right money from the start.

AGREE!!!

Same for purchasing a new toy, somehow I am just not comfortable of getting something that have been used!!!

As I was shopping for a new vehicle (A5s, 335i/is, or IS350) for my wife, by chance they had a 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in the show room. It only has 400 miles on it, the asking price was less than half of new one. It is very tempting...STILL IS USED... so I guess I have to save some more in order to get one brand new...besides it was Italian Red...so freaking typical...
