I've bought used tires many times, when I need a spare or on a non-driver that I just need to hold up off the floor. In Tx here you can find them for $20 mounted.

look for even wear with good tread left, knowing which way the tire has been rolling is a plus, look for patches or plugs which could indicate it has been run with low pressure. If you find one, put it on the back, not the front.

$60 is a lot though, almost a new price. This is your daily driver, so I'd look at the spare and possibly buy 2 new and get rid of the 2 worst tires.
