Local junkyard w/ a good selection of tires?
Front tire of the DD is in pretty bad shape, surprised they didnt notice it at inspection(well neither did I). The wires starting to come through on the inside of the tire. Need to find something quick and cheap, any junkyards in the area that have a decent selection.

Some gas stations have used tires they sell. I've seen them in the area for $5-$10 plus install.

Could be shocks too. Bad shocks kill tires in weird uneven ways.
Try Tire Farm in Farmingdale. Plus call around to all the local tire places, they keep used tires on the shelf.
