    Where to buy cheap 2nd hand tyres?

    I sold the code 3 Terios and bought a 1998 Ford Fiesta. I assume the car has 13" or 14" wheels. No sure. But the tyres are done. Where can I get good quality second hand tyres in PTA? I heard from some people that I can get tyres at R100 - R150 per tyre with 3/4 of the tread intact.
