First up I have some barely used “Maxtrek Ingens A1” 215/45/17 W rated tires. Less than 5k on them. They are a summer tire, good in rain, surprisingly descent in dry (Taking into account I am spoiled with always running extreme tires). They are very stable at high speed, comfy, a very nice tire indeed.

They came brand new from the dealership with the purchase of the car. I am sporting winters now and will buy a more extreme summer only tire. So this needs to go.

Next up I have wheels and tires that have been used for two summer seasons.

These are one of the top dry/summer tires on the market period. Quite costly brand new too. Kumho Ecsta XS 225/50/R16 W rated tires. Great for autocross, track and spirited driving. Absolutely phenomenal performance for a non-R comp. The tires still have plenty thread considering they are a low thread tire.

The wheels are 16x7 Borbet sport edition with a PCD of 108x5. The PCD fits Ford Taurus, Volvos and Jaguars. If I recall an offset of +33? Weighed 18lbs. Borbet are sleek designed high quality made in germany wheels.

Yes these were on our Ford Taurus sleeper. On a private course the car is insanely stable cornering high speed corners at 140-180km/hr 🙂 I know there’s haters and duobters out there, no exagerations here 😉

On a lowered taurus, the rear must be slightly rolled. For volvo and jaguar, they have large arches I doubt you’d need to roll or pull anything.

Reason for sale, going with a more extreme 17" setup in summer 🙂

Oh I’ve found out this PCD also fits Audis, Peugeut/Renault (lol no use) and Alfa Romeos. :-/ More likely candidates for a jag or ford taurus or volvo then still but thought I’d throw that out there
