Looking for used tires to buy by scoobette

I have a 2005 Mazda3 4 door that is leased. The lease matures in July and the tires that are on it need to be replaced. I don't want to put new tires on it because of the cost (and I won't be driving it anymore) so I'm looking to buy some used ones that will pass the "test" to be turned back into the dealer. Live in South Central TN so shipping is a concern as well. Thanks.

Go to a junkyard(autoparts store) see if they have some tires . Go to Tirewarehouse. Ask for the cheapest tire they have.
   I didn't know you were responsible for tires on a lease check that out on some of the forums on here. I have a set of RSA Eagles with 120 miles on them 9 months old stored over my garage because they are unsafe at any speed.

My husband just found some Sumitomo tires for around $250. or so for 4 online (TireRack.com) which is really cheap considering the cheapest we've found in our area has been $140. per tire.
Yes, when you lease and turn the vehicle in there is a requirement on how much tread has to be on the tires. I only have 40K miles on the car and the tires they put on are already bald. Piece of crap, really sorry I got this car...should have kept my Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Will check Tirewarehouse before ordering though, thanks.

Yup! $250.00 is a good deal. I put Dunlop Sport Signatures from TireRack.com on my car as they recommended them.
                 Mazda cars due to the toe and camber are terrible on tires.I only have 4700 miles on my car, but I'm selling it for another make.
                   Good Luck

FWIW, I got 25,000 miles out of the Bridgestone RE 050A OEM rubber fitted to my Mazdaspeed 3- and that number includes three track days.

I have some 205/50-16 summer tires & I'm thinking of trading my car in for a hatchback sport. I see on tirerack the recommended size for the hatchback is 205/50-17, so will a 16" tire fit on the standard 17" wheel?
Thanks

Shoot, I'll have to look at other cars or wait & wear the tires out.

I have a brand new set over my garage RSA Eagles. I took them off because they are only good for dry pavement. I bet there are alot of people that have them on here.
             I'm keeping them because I'm dumping the Mazda. I'm waiing for a few more 2010 models to get here and the fact I only have 4700 miles on the car.
              Hey, check Mazda out I think they switched to another OEM tire.OOOppps no your tires won't fit.

Well, a Mazda Speed is a fun ride and if you got 25K out of them you must have been smiling alot.
