Tire suggestions

My Mini is listed for sale and it will need new tires soon so I have a couple questions.

1. Should I put new tires on or leave that to the new owner?

2. If I put new tires on, what should I get? It is a 2004 MC automatic, I would want some basic, good tires for it as it is for sale.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

you won't get your money back on new tires so don't put new ones on.

Hmm. I second that idea of leaving the old ones on. Whenever I see a car for sale with new tires I think the car either has alignment problems or the owner just smokes the tires bald and is trying to hide either fact.

Thanks, this was the second set of tires and they just wore out after 44,000 miles.
