Default Anyone have any used 275/40r17 tires?

My tires are bald and I'm in the "school" mode right now and I'm not dumping 1000 bucks into some nice tires to waste driving down the 405 everyday. Just wondering if anyone has some old 275s they're going to replace soon or if anyone has any laying around. I don't need anything fancy or with a whole lot of tread on them. I'd be happy if I got a couple thousand miles out of them, bonus if they're good in the rain so I dont have to worry about hydroplaning as much . Thanks

Jim (poor commuting college student)

Americas tire has a deal on bfg supersports. I got a pair for 350 thought about it, burned the rest of the rubber off the back ones and got 2 more haha. Seem to be a good tire since my car sees a lot of freeway. Just watch out for rain with those bald tires

Yea I checked out craigslist, but 275/40r17 isnt a very common tire size, so I figure I'd have better luck on here.

I've got 1 BFG g force sport with about 75-80% tread life left. I'm asking $100 for it.

Alright, thanks, a lot of good options here. I'm really busy with school until this weekend, so keep up the offers and this weekend I'll sort through them and figure something out. Thanks a lot for the help.
