Wanted: take-off tires, used, run-flat and regular

I know it's an odd request but I have a good use for these.

If you are taking your runflats off and they have about half the tread left, let me know! If they are nearly new and you want to sell them to someone, cool, but if they are a little used and you just want to get aftermarket wheels or tires and ditch the runflats... I'd love to have them.

Instead of just tossing them, we'll gladly come take them off your hands. I took mine off at 2K miles and they are just collecting dust... for now.

We'll take any 17" tires that are unwanted actually (with about 1/2 tread life left).... I just know that it's pretty common for us MINI owners to ditch run flats.

And fyi, we aren't going to use these in any way to make money, not selling them or anything... they will be put to a good and fun use.



Greatly prefer these to be in easy driving distance of or in Atlanta. Sorry west coasters... but it's kinda pointless to ship well used tires across country.

For what???



You've got me curious, and probably several others as well... What in blazes are you using them for?? Retreads? Playground equipment? Some grandiose Mini sculpture? I'm looking for a set of 17s with decent tread as spares (not to thread-jack, if you want I'll edit that out), but you seem to be looking for them for some "other" reason.

Do tell!!!

To destroy while drifting.

Not in the MINI, of course, FWD doesn't do so well with that.

Cool! Drift on! (you CAN drift a Mini, but it's a little more difficult. Of course, in Reverse.... :D )

Now that sounds like fun! If I had some, I'd give them to you, but only if I could watch!
