Emergency tires needed

my uncle has passed away and i must drive to OK this sat. this month i was going to have to by 1 tire so i could get the g inspected. reason why just 1 is i dont have the cash to buy all 4. since my g has a brand spanking new full size rim with a brand spanking new bridgestone turanza el42 i was gonna use that and just buy 1 tire since my other 2 will pass. this tire at discount etc runs 189 without mounting etc. does anyone have 2 that match that they are willing to let go... i got to get this done on friday since ill be driving some 350 miles on sat and i didnt want to do that on 2 bald *** front tires.

So you don't trust Discount Tire or NTB? Because both sell used tires...

tires are tires, used or not, you can visually inspect them before you buy them...im sure there are plenty of ppl in this world that only buy used tires...but anyways GL with your search, and sorry to hear about your uncle
