Re: Is this tire useable?

If you have to ask the answer is no. Especially if they're used from Craigslist

Decent tires are cheap, buy yourself a complete set and be done with it.

Personally, I buy used tires off craigslist all the time. I'm sure if some of us could afford $500 minimum to buy a set of 4 tires we would rather do that. You just have to know what to look for and have the ability to walk away from a bad set, even if you drove across the metro for them.
