[SALE] 4 OEM RE040 Tyres - 1 Brand New + 3 Used

Hey guys

I'm selling all 4 stock tyres on my 8.
For those that don't know they are Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45/18.

They have clocked about 24000km except the front left which is brand new and has done about 100km on the way from the smash repair and to the tyre shop.

To cut a long story short, i had a new tyre replaced after an accident and so the front left is brand new.

The front right also has a a decent amount of tread left. (see pictures)

Both rear tyres are pretty much on the way out and I am just putting them up for sale for those who for some strange reason want bald tyres or want to shred whats left of them doing burnouts.

The prices are as follows:

Front left brand new: $350
Front right used: $150
Rear tyres: $75 each

Pickup in Sydney preferred.

PM me if you are interested.

PS: The pictures are attached. Look at the filenames to see which tyre it is. The rear tyres are both the same in tread.
EDIT: The first left is the rear tyre. The next 3 are the brand new one. And the last is the front right.

new tyre

Hi not to hijack the thread but looking at the pictures you posted show how the "new" tyres tread pattern has changed. The outer tread blocks no longer go all the way through to the first grove in the tyre. According to Russell at Essendon Tyrepower this new tread pattern should eliminate a lot of the noise issues people have mentioned in previous posts.
Good luck with the sale and BUMP

$75 each is a bit much for the rears. Not even road-legal - would probably be cheaper to get some KMart Commodore tyres fitted and balanced for burnouts...
