…what dealerships around here throw out tires? Or anybody know where I can pick up a few sets of used 17s to beat the hell out of?

I’d be looking for like 235/40/17 or 225/45/17 :banana

PS2 are brand spankin new. I drove them sticker-new from Long Island to Clifton Park and dismounted them.

The RE750s have maybe 70% remaining front and 60% remaining rear. $400?

$400 seems a bit steep, there’s brand new re750s selling for $225 a pair for 19s on ebay

I don’t really want a staggered setup, plus I’m not sure the 245s would fit effortlessly with these wheels…I dont have the cash for a roll right now, i could do like $300 for tires probably…found some bfg kdw’s on ebay 225/40’s in albany, guy wants like $225 with 60% or so on em…might do that, but im not going to put the cart before the horse, havent even actually sold the rotas yet, i have to unwrap the m and take close up pics

edit:

he only wants $155!!

adirondack tire on central ave. Used to work there, in the back there is scraps. Or talk to jamie/tracy at the front desk, tell them AJ sent you. They have used for sale AND used in the back which is usually crap tires but free at night. Tire companies dont care about scraps getting ‘stolen?’ due to it costs money to have them removed… 2.00 a tire!
