I dont need rims, just tires and would want some with a little more meat but thatnks for your help. I have been watching craigslist.

 

[GT400SC]

They have 1/4" in tread, not 1/4 of the original tread.
That means they have 8/32 tread out of a new 11/32 tread. (about 73% TREAD RMAINING)

Damned near new!

For $200, buy everything, remount the wheels and sell the rims to recoup part of your expenses.

No brainer. Near new tires for $50 a pop PLUS you sell the rims that came with them and make back part of your $$$!

go buy a used set.

they work great I used a used pair of rear tires too drive from cali to georgia

No problems in fact the only problems we had was my wifes brand new tires blowing out lol

I have a set of Rim and Tires very good condition. 22in Rims Post pics later..

 

[beejay31000]

down by the junk yards they have tire places with used tired that im sure you can get for a steal. let me know if you want to head down there....

 

[Roushed2]

go get used tires they are about 20-40 each mounted and ballanced

plus a good majority of the time they still have alot of meat left on them

50-90% left

I gave him the perfect ad from Craigslist. The EXACT size he was looking for with 70-75% tread for $200 for FOUR tires. They were already mounted on Jeep wheels but hey, take the whole setup to Preston's Tires and they will swap everything for less than $100 (mounted and balanced). Then, sell the Jeep rims for $50-$75. That would about cover the mounting and balancing costs.

 

[Roushed2]

so your saying spend 200 plus 100

for a total initil cost of 300

then sell the rims for at most 75 for a

total out of pocket expense of

$225

or go buy a set of used tires mounted and ballanced for a total of

$80-$160

I called the guy about the tires from the add and he said they were pretty worn out. NOT 1/4 inch left. He was supposed to get better tread pictures and actually measure how much was left for me and call me back and never did. i appreciate you sending me think. It was appreciated.

 

[yosemiddysam]

Also i can mount and ballance them myself at 7 bucks a tire lol.

 

[beejay31000]

i gotta go with roush on this one, financially its better

 

[yosemiddysam]

They were 250.00 too if that matters and he will not go down on the price from what I could tell.

 

[Roushed2]

ive bought used tires before and you get good tires. I bought continental cont sport 2's for my roush before i ordered my nittos. deffinately check them out. I had difficulties finding my size because of 18" and the width of being 285 but most people find there tires very very easilly

 

[Roushed2]

oh and since they are 15" you are pure money finding those tires used with alot of tread left on them

 

[GT400SC]

So the dork midlead us by saying 1/4" tread left. What a putz!

 

[Roushed2]

well if you gave him another day they would have been


after he shaves the tread lines LOL

 

[yosemiddysam]
