FS: 215/45/17 Bridgestone RE01R's - almost new

$600. run for about 500 miles...perfect shape, like new, but 'broken in' for you. these tires are actually better once used. Yes, it's winter. No, not everybody lives in cold climes like me, so, thought it would be better to pass these along than store them as I'll buy another set in the spring (mounted on new wheels )

pics on request....it's cold out and they're in the shed, bagged for winter storage

How well did you like them? Did they tram line at all?
Photos please.

awesome tires. I'll buy another set for sure.

pics? they look like new tires...no appreciable wear. I'll pull them out in the daylight tomorrow as I just got home and snap some shots.

Why buy another set if you have brand a brand new set for sell?
Again , do the tram-line like most tires with a center grove in the tire design?
Thanks, red_line

as I said, I'll buy new wheels come spring - shops here charge $100+ to mount tires, if I buy new wheels with tires mounted, it costs me nothing as TR mounts them free.

it wasn't a problem for me, but I was running -2.0F camber and -1.5R camber. I never felt like the tires had a mind of their own. no camber wear either, as the car was driven harder around corners than when going straight

I have the same tires for my track MINI and love them. I felt no tram-lining at all for the two dates at at Lime Rock. Also running negative camber and would highly recommend these to track minded MINI drivers. Obviously, don't think about using these tires below 50' F.

I actually need a new set of tires, but I can't spend $600 on tires right now, and shipping from the east coast to the west coast would be .

I'm interested in buying these. I know you're a nationally known insulter, but where are you physically located on a map?

hmm I'm going to be buying a set of these very soon. This is a good price, but I'm in the process of moving and don't have an address to ship to yet. How much do you think shipping to Texas will be?

$60 or so. I'd be happy to hold them and ship when you are ready if you indeed want them.

tires that give up all semblance of snow/mud/cold weather traction for topnotch dry and rain performance. If you live in FL and are driving on all-seasons, I pity you

any thoughts on the relative width comapred to other tires you may have used? i.e do they run wider or narrower for their listed size.
