Used tires aren't worth buying. You should just get two new tires. Your tire can go flat because of a nail, screw or insert sharp object here _______, bead leak or dry rotting.

I have two sets of tires, so I just replace the worn out one to another one. I did not buy used tires. I thought maybe the problem of alignment, but after the alignment and replace another tire, after 3 weeks, the replaced tire thread worn out again. I think there must be something wrong, but not sure what kind of it maybe, any though is really appreciated. Thanks

Its possible that the alignment shop messed up.
