Used Tires for Mini Cooper S

Hi everyone, Im looking for 2 used tires for my moms mini cooper s.

The size is 205-45-17. Looking to pay $50 or under for decent used tires because we cant afford new ones.

Any help or tips on finding some would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Since it is not worth shipping used tires (they will cost more to ship and then mount and balance than you pay for them) you need to list a location.....
Best option might be Craig's list or the local tire shops that keep OK tires on a rack for sale...

Thanks for the tip.
I spent a few days searching used tire places but havent had any lick with that size.
I'll keep trying craigslist.

I live in downtown Los Angeles.

Check the "For Sale" listings on the SoCal MINI club forums.

I needed a 205/45-17 to replace one of mine that had gone bad. Found a used one on eBay from a used tire dealer near SanFran. Free shipping. I'm happy.

You could take a look in the for sale listings.

I just happen to have a couple in that size for sale. A couple of our old track tires which are less than half worn, but got screws stuck in them, and I don't feel like running on track with a patched tire.
