The only way I’ve made used tires work is to put in a lot more leg work - pick a part salvage lots would sell them for like $20-25 ea in the past, and you can pick some good ones with good tread.
EDIT: just checked current prices, it looks like you can get a tire for $25, tire and a wheel would be about $40 ea. Putting a tire on a wheel without the right equipment is very difficult though, maybe some shops will do it for you as a service?
