At work (in Edmonton), I have been given the task of liquidating :arrow: some older stock tires. They are new unless mentioned and have never been mounted.
Some are really old stock...
If anyone wants a single never mounted Pirellli P600 in 235/60r16 from ~1991 or a Michelin MXX3 in 225/45ZR17 that has wear on the shoulders but is new down the center, they are free. We used to give slicks away, but there was a reason for that- to build wheelwells around. I can't imagine but maybe someone wants a 225/45r17 to measure or mount?

More seriously:

Pirelli p6000 225/55r16 set of 4, at least 9 years old...and probably as hard as the back of supermans head, but new with the stickers and the umm, little nipply things still on 'em...and.... If you had $200 I could put the set of 4 to your door, and leave you a $20 in your pocket for pizza.

Michelin Pilot Sport (NOT the A/S variant) 225/50r16 set of 4 It's either these or another set that have been mounted and driven on, little or no miles, similar pricing as above

Michelin 225/45r17 Pilot Alpin (performance winter) pair only, 60ea obo

Michelin 225/45r17 Pilot Sport (pure summer) set of 3, $150 obo for all 3

Michelin 245/40r17 MXX3 (pure summer) set of 3 $150 obo for all 3

Michelin 255/45r17 Pilot Sport (NOT the A/S variant) set of 4 It's either these or another set that have been mounted and driven on, little or no miles, $400/4

Michelin 255/40r18 Pilot Sport (NOT the A/S variant) set of 4 new $400/4

Pirelli 255/45r18 performance winter, 4 for $650 (have 6)

Pirelli 255/50r19 Perf winter $240ea (have 8 of them)

Conti 295/40r20 Perf winter $340ea set of 4

Will trade for 8 of 285/35r20 winter tires... :shock: seriously. :? And you know the names of the owners :wink: , only one of which has finally started to listen to reason that he should "minus one" fit 255/40r19's :shock: to some replica rims...

How old are the 16" michelins? I need something for my gemini thingies that will fit darth and the 242. My 215/45/17s JUST fit the 242 without rubbing, but they have a big rim protector and I will be widening the fenders a touch next year.

Anyone see any fit issues with 225/50/16 on a 940 or 240? 7 inch wide rim.

If not, and they're not too old and hard as rock, I'll take them Ian.

Athal, I ran 225 50 16 on a 7.5" rim on my 91 740. No rubbing. Not even in driveways.

I've got 225/50/16s on a 7 inch rim in the back no problem. This is a fwd rim though with a 32mm spacer.

Ok, I've read the mails, but from home. I will look at the DOT date codes of manufacture, I may even have taken down notes in that regard but I don't have them at home. The report I took with me shows we sold a pair in Jul 2005, no receipt date field is present. I don't know whether these predate that sale or not. I assume they do.

FWIW, I have 225/55r16's on a 140 with miles of clearance, mind you it doesn't have bumpers of a full interior yet, but it does have cut front springs. I have called dibs on a [not listed above] set of 245/45r17 winter Michelins for it as well. :D
"Plus 2" winter's FTW... that's plus 80mm in width vs OE. :badgrin:

I will look at studding capabilities. Personally, I am strongly against doing so based on my own experience. They are like ball bearings on wet roads, which is what we have a great deal of the time in winter... and what little effect they do give on "dry" ice hardly seems to make them worth it. YMMV.
Edit: looking at your icon, maybe this is for ice racing. More of a focused game, so yeah....

I'm looking for some 205 60-15's for my widened wheels. If anyone has some lying around that are decent, I'm interested.

Bad news:

1/ the 225/50r16's are spoken for.

2/I looked for studable tires and didn't see any.

What I didn't know is they have not-in-inventory take offs hidden in another spot, so I am going to have to go through those, too. I don't doubt there may be deals in there, but this turned into a waaay bigger job than I thought. Hang in there

Volvo wise I did see a pair of winter 185/65r15's.. Kumho or Hankook asymmetrical winter. Like new, but fine gravel in the blocks so they'd been mounted. $80+10 shipping/pair. Exact same as a Virgo's OE 195/60r15 in rolling radius.

yeah... apparently the part number was set up, and tires were sold, 2 years, maybe 3 ago. Recently, tires were ordered in under the same part number, for an upcoming appointment, so these are anything but overstock. Who knew? :roll: Certainly couln't tell by the way they were stocked... :roll:

Anyway, some photos:

P6000's (225/55r16) 4 for $180Image




225/45r17 Pilot Sport 3 for $150 :
Image



Pilot 255/45r17 set of 4 100ea obo.

245/40r17 MXX3 I initially said $150 for three, try me at around $120 for 3....?
