My girl friend has a 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer SUV. It has AWD & 4wd which is rarely used in the winter - no serious off roading of any kind.
One of her tires lost air pressure and she drove on it with very low pressure low for a short distance and wrecked the tire.
The tires are pretty new and in pretty good shape - other than as described above.
Question: The repair shop wants to sell her a used replacement tire and not a new tire.
Other than price, why would you want a used replacement tire? The repair shop gave her a multitude of reasons why she should get a used tire and not a new.
I would like to know if she should get a new or used tire from someone who knows tires.
TIA
