need new tires but not sure wat to get, went to discount tires, got quoted 722 for all 4 yamahas, but i looked around at the forums and looks like i can get a set of wheels with the tires with good amount of tread left for less including shipping, i'd love to get some TT2s with good tires with tread left, but cant seem to find a good set but then again i'd consider anything at this point, any ideas?

Just my $0.02 worth......
Your car, as well as your life, is riding on those tires. Unless you know for sure where the tires are coming from, I'd stay away from used stuff. Even in a "normal" environment, tires are subjected to a lot of stress (potholes, curbs, etc), so internal damage may not be visible, but cost you big down the road....
Secondly, shipping costs for used wheel/tire packages can get pricey, so the "bargain" aspect can quickly diminish.
