Where do you guys go to find 2 or 4 used tires? This is for a old pickup truck. Just need something with 50% left. Just need something cheap and got a guy that will mount and balance. I just need cheap tires and a alignment. Also, the tires that are on the truck are 265/75/15, but when I look up the truck online it says they should be 235/75/15. Does it make a difference or is any tire in that range fine? The door jab says it should be 265/75/15 and that's what is on it so I am guessing that is what I should keep it at. This is just a very light duty truck that gets used once a month to go to the dump or help someone move something like a bed or whatever. So not much use. Thanks for any info guys.

There is a little place out here that does alot of used tires. I'll ask when I get back if they got any in your size. Also check outdoor flea markets. You can get cheap used tires from them.
