So I see companies on Ebay have a ton of used tires for big discounts.

I wouldn't buy tires at 40% tread left but some of these companies have 70% and 80% life on the OE tires that come with the M3. Brand new they run $379 each but you can find the same OE tires on Ebay for $100-$120 each from companies that only sell used tires.

If these tires don't have dry rot or pataches, wouldn't this make sense? What am I missing? Id rather go through 3 tires with 70% life than 1 tire with 100% life and spend the same amount.

Can anyone see why this wouldn't be a good idea?
