Used tires are used at YOUR own risk, and you should make the ultimate decision and risk analysis on whether or not you should use them. Nothing stated here constitutes a recommendation that you should purchase and install used tires.
Back in college when money was right, I did buy used tires for my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis. I looked through the shop’s racks and found a matching set of Goodyear Eagle RS-As, which are used on the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and normally quite pricy, in the same size as my Mercury had. They were about 6/32" for tread depth which was quite good, and only a couple years old. They got me through the year before I replaced with new tires.
In short, you should inspect them. Try to get a matching set of equal tread depth, no mixing of brands or models as this could affect handling dynamics or damage AWD/4WD systems (if you have it). Ensure they have not exceeded 4-5 years in age, manufacturers recommend not using tires that are 6+ years old. Check that they have sufficient tread depth, over 4/32" remaining would be ideal for a short term, <12 month life.
