Desperate For A Tire

Does anyone have an old Goodyear Eagle RS-A 205-45-17 for sale? I can’t get my new wheels and tires until after the Dragon and I do not want to go on a bad tire. I only need one, but would buy what you want to get out of your garage. My new Team Dynamic wheels, that were supposed to be always available, will not be here until the week after the Dragon. I am hoping I do not have to spend 300 dollars for a tire I will use for three weeks.

I've got some 15s in case someone needs one, maybe two, with sufficient tread; I'm in Fairfax, VA.

What size TDR's did you get? 17x7?

You could buy the tires you want, put them on your s-lites and when your TDR's come in you can swap tires.

Just an idea.

thank you - I found his post. He has four almost new tires and wheels for a very reasonable 600 dollar price. I am hoping to find one tire to use for two or three weeks. I am trying to get away from the 17 inch wheels I have and go to 16 inch wheels. The roads around here where I drive this car as a commuter car are full of pot holes. I know the car will not respond as fast, but it will ride much better.
