Help! looking for a couple of tires

Wondering if any one here has a couple of tires with at least some tread on them.

I knew I was into new tires for next spring but one of my front tires destroyed itself last night. I temporary have the snow tires on the front but I don't want to leave them on any more than a couple of days.I'm, looking for something that will keep me going for another 3 months until I have to put the winters on for the season.
Size, either stock 18/45/18 or 245/40/18

Toronto or surrounding area

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

If I had your size, I would gladly offer them.

It's funny, I always see people changing tires or getting new wheels. So I know there are a few people out there with some tires.

Thanks for the bump Neo , I know you would have been good on your offer if you had them.

If any one finds themselves in this position I ended up fined a used stock pair at Second Time Around [URL="http://www.tirestires.com:2280/tires/index2.html"]

$125 for a pair plus mounting ... $160 all inclusive.

I'd forgotten how noisy the stock tires were

I have a couple of stock Bridgestones in pretty good shape in my shed. Is there an easy way to ship these?

Pretty close, but what do you expect for $50

They are good for a few track days or another summer.

I have 4 - 18" winter tires with some tread on them just hanging around but I'm too far away. If anybody local wants them, all you have to do is come get them.
