kijiji is your friend, i have never bought new winters, people screw up all the time and buy winters then sell the car. I do know what to look fo in a used set though, if you don't then go new but in that size you're gonna be out $1500 or so with price, tax, eco fee, disposal, install and balancing.

You'd be surprised how many people buy brand new tires and don't install them before they get rid of the car, or only use them for one season. I've bought brand new tires before on Facebook marketplace that still had the stickers on them for less than half price of brand new.
