Yeah, I have bought many a used tire but never a set.

The rotors cannot be saved as both fronts have excessive run-out. They were junkyard rotors anyway. Of course I have not checked to see if I have bearing run-out but since everything else that would point to bad bearings is absent...

The alignment is just one of those things I do not have the patience for. I replaced the tie rod ends and ball joints not that long ago (with shiny new ones from the junkyard) and I git a bit off on the drivers side...besides, the steering wheel was already off a tick when I got the car.
