Set of 4 Stock Bridgestone RE050a Runflats - 205/45R17 (low miles)

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $100
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R53, R55, R56, R57, R58
Location (Region): Midwestern
Item Condition: Used

I took these RE050a tires off for the winter when my car had 3200 miles on it and replaced them with non-runflat tires when the weather warmed back up. They still have much of their original tread, and certainly have many more miles of life.

I'm looking to get $100 OBO for them - Local pickup (zip code 44202 : Northeast Ohio) only.

Too bad you are far away. As far as stock tires goes. I had these on my R55 and loved them for RFTs. They are not as sticky as my Michelin PSS but for this price I would buy them and just sit on them and make an auto cross set. GLWS.

I wish they weren't 27lb a piece. I'm guessing shipping would be expensive, and probably quite difficult not having any packaging for them.

I know Tirerack ships tires for about $50-60 but they are usually only a day or two away with ground when you order them. Depending on who wants them it could be up to $100 easily.

FWIW, I shipped wheels and tires mounted and wrapped each one in clear stretch-wrap and had cardboard over the wheel surface to not get scratched up. Tirerack usually bands two tires together ans ships them as 2 separate packages for 4 tires.

For what it's worth, I have shipped tires by FedEx and it's easy. You bring them the tires and they put a shipping label on the tire with clear tape and send them just like that - no box or other wrapping.

Tire rack has depots all over the country,which significantly improves their shipping prices. They are also a huge shipping customer, which nets them big discounts. I have neither of these benefits unfortunately. For example, shipping this set of tires as an average Joe like me to a residence in California is $165. For those on the east cost, like North Carolina for example, the price is a much more reasonable 85. I'm happy to give shipping a try at this point if someone wants to pick up the cost. At $25 a tire, this is a pretty great deal even with shipping. Even to Cali, the whole set can be yours for just a little more than a single one of these tires at tire rack prices (which are currently $247/tire +shipping).

Assuming it's a residential address, $82.76. If it's a business address, $70.76.
