    Hi all, I'm wheel/tire shopping. Found a couple of ads on craigslist that seem promising. The set I really want is off the wheel.

    I'm wondering if anyone has any tips, pointers, red-flags, clues, they can share when looking at used tires?

    Thanks in advance.

    Check for signs of dry rot, uneven wear, punctures, distance to the wear markers inside the tread...
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
