Riken, because its cheaper. Why not drift on some pep boys $20 tires? You're just going to nuke them in a week anyway.

For unmounting/mounting tires, it costs about $20 per wheel. So, using used tires might not be a good idea. With new tires, it lasts longer and less cost on unmounting/mounting tires on the long run.

I am still thinking a way to save money in the long run. For example, maybe buying my own tire changer/wheel balancer and get used tires from junkyards will be a good option.

So, how do you get $20 per tire in Pep Boy?
