f/s set of 225*45*18 and (4) tpms
Let me start with the bad news. Just spent way more than I should have for a set of oem 18's for my P5. Now that I've got them I realized that 225*45's won't fit!!!

To my knowledge, the tires and tpms both have 500 miles on them. I will post tread pics tomorrow when I have some daylight. If I had to judge the tires myself I'd say 500 miles is a fair statement. Prob why I payed so much for the set.

I would like to try to recover $350 obo for the tires and $125 obo for the tpms. Oh, and the tires are Kumho Ecsta SPT

Yups you should read my "Rishie's fitment thread".

You should run 215/40/18 at the most, still are gonna need to do some mods though to the rear fender.
