I friend of mine miffed his Cup car pretty bad at a Driver's Ed event this summer: left front tire blew. He had no history on the tires he was running on.

At 120mph, he lost control of the car, spun around 2 times, smacked the wall (Nascar 3 at Pocono raceway), and then slid across the track and hit the armco on the inside of the track. Close to $40k in damages.

BTW: this occurred the 2nd week he had the car.

Do I recommend used tires? NO STINKIN' WAY!
