Back in the days when I was trying to support a family on a teacher's salary I'd go to Pick-A-Part and find wheels with tires that fit my cars. Sometimes a wrecked car had almost new tires on it and they were a bargain considering they were already mounted, balanced and holding air. The price was the same no matter the condition so bargains were possible.

Had a good friend that lifted a tire out of a dumpster that looked brand new.  Later he told me he about broke his tire irons trying to mount it. Then noted it was an 18 inch tire that just would not go on his 19 inch rim.

Schoolboy error!

Just enough truth to keep ya guess'n.  Stig's pretty slick that way.
