Those Michelin XZX haven't been made since the 80's. They are very very old.
You can (and should) buy new pretty cheaply in the avail 14" that fit the stock rims, a 195/75-14 or 195/70-14

I will no longer buy used tires over about 6 years old.

I WILL buy one tire or two from my tire shop - I have been dealing with the same shop since 1963 and they do sell take offs.

They check out any tires they sell and have given me a pair of fairly new, worn-out tires for my storage trailer for the cost of mounting.

Look around for an owner-operated shop and ask them for some newer take-offs.

I've given up on used tires. It seems as though tires worn on a car that was improperly aligned may have wear that might not be noticable upon visual inspection.

How bad are your rotors? If approximately the required thickness and not grooved too
badly they could be used for a while longer.
Sitting on a shelf is NOT good for tires - the cord rots and they surprise you when you hit
a sharp bump or something (maybe even a speed bump).
It would be better to buy cheap new tires.

Odd how we go about budgets...

I've bought used tires once. I was after the rims, in the pick'n'pull, but decided to take the whole wheels. Still running them after 10 years, which isn't something I'd recommend to anyone. Yes, I see the beginnings of dry rot.

Alignment is a big chunk of change, knowing the only thing your car ever needs is a tweak of the tie rods for toe-in. I've tried several DIY techniques and probably shortened the life of several sets of front tires learning what really works, but of late I'm getting good results using a hunk of 1/2" EMT to gauge the toe-in setting.

I might save on new rotors too, unless they got trashed by someone ignoring their protest noises.

Those Michelins do sound nice from here. Wonder how long they sat. My 10-year old JY tires need to get replaced. I think the description of yours -- oiled glass -- fits the feeling I got from them one day in a thundershower.

Yes, that's true how a budget can be trashed in one fell swoop, but more often these days of plastic, in one swipe.
