WTB: 16" high performance tires

Hi all. Bought my car used and the Dunlop Sports that are on it really are not up to too much. I thought before I went and bought them brand new I'd see if anybody had any really good tires they want to sell. I'm looking for Goodyear Eagles or similar performance. Thanks all and have a great New years part this evening!

Thanks Ekim! Does that mean you might be interested in selling just the tires? Thanks for letting me know, I'm going to hold off for a little to see if anybody posts up any full-on summer tires..

HAve a great New year

Considering that 16" tires are relatively inexpensive and the fact that it costs the same to ship and install used tires as it does to start fresh, buying used tires is somewhat of a losing proposition.

For example, you can get a set of Yokohama AVS ES-100's for $79 each from Tire Rack.

The only way I would go with used performance tires is if I got the entire set for about $100. Otherwise, it would not be worth my time and money to mount tires that would need to be replaced a few months later.

IF you enjoy your spine and strut towers, no.
