* Ask the owner how many years and miles the tires have. The owner should know. (Bad sign if (s)he doesn't!) The tires should have at least 1/8" of tread left, preferably more. Squared-off tires, any signs of dry rot (really fine cracking -- look really close!), bald tires (no tread), knobby tires with worn down and rounded knobs... they all need to be changed. Tires worth using aren't cheap, but they're your sole source of traction, your only connection to the road -- do not cut corners here! | * Ask the owner how many years and miles the tires have.
