Stock RX8 Wheels w/TMPS & Dunlop Winter Sport M3 Snow Tires

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $860
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Others, Series I, Series II
Location (US State/Canada/Int): MI
Item Condition: Used

I'm selling my (Qty. 4) Mazda stock wheels 18’ X 8’ the Tires are (Qty. 4) 225/45R-18 DUNLOP WINTER SPORT M3 with (Qty. 4) TMPS Valves, plus I have all the factory lugs and (Qty. 4) Mazda wheel lug locks with the Lock Socket Key and the lock ID card and code to order a new one if you lose it by accident. They are in Canton, MI 48187 at my two Nephew's house.

The wheels are all in really good shape but one has a scratch two have some slight small rash on the outside edges otherwise the are pretty good! All the tires are“Dunlop SP Sport Max M3” which are Sport 95V rated winter metric DirectionalTread pattern with high density spring, for premium performance in water, snow and ice as well as for dry conditions tires. They also have MAX flange shield which helps protects alloy wheels from curb damage. They are balanced and in very good condition the front two are newer and the tread on the rear tires is thinner at the center 1/3 of the tread, but they get gradually deeper toward outside 1/3's (both the inner 1/3 and outer 1/3 of both tires are fine) and they should be good for one more season, They are heavy treaded toward the outer edges of the tire to grab in heavy snow but the center third of the tire has a has a thinner tread pattern with pointed staggered tread arrows to direct water to the outside edges, so it increases the center contact patch to grip better even clear dry pavement, or on wet surfaces forcing water to the outside or for better center line traction and for better grip, handling and cornering control, they are also factory sipped. I bought two more because I loved them so much, they made the car fun to drive even in the winter. They are very good tires: Dry traction rated at 8, Wettraction rated at 9, Snow traction rated at 10, and Quiet ride at 8.
Like I said The fronts are newer and could then be moved to the rear next year and be good for two or three more years, then you could get two front Winter tires for next year. (These tires wear this way on the rear over time, the last pair I had on the rear did this as well, I do not know why, I asked them at Discount Tire and they said it is just a characteristic of that particular tire. My current Dunlop SP Sport Maxx summer tires are wearing the same way)? Like I said The fronts are newer and could then be Rotated to the rear next year and be good for two or three more years, then you could get two new front Winter tires for next year if needed.

I do not want to separate them I would like to get $860.00 the way I figured this price is the wheels are worth $110 a piece = $440 the 4 TMPS even usedare worth at least $40 they cost $42.00 each new. The front tires are worth $140.00/ea. They are relatively new. Remember these are Dunlop SP Sport Max M3which are Sport 95V rated winter metric tires and they are factory sipped, they are not cheap. They cost $204.00 - $250.00/ea. New, plus that doesn't include balancing and mounting and tax! So they are worth at least $280.00 for the two! As for the rears they’re worth $50.00 each they should be good for one more season and I was going to use them again if I didn't move to the South to TX, so that’s $100.00 plus the Lug nuts and 4 Wheel Locks and Socket Key.

Altogether that’s $440.00 + $40.00 +$280.00 + $100.00 = $860.00 which is a pretty good deal!! I may be a little flexible, but I am not going to give them away, or they can sit there for now if they have too. I will be listing them for sale on the RX8 bulletin board website and on MI Rotary Club and Craig’s list as well.

A new set of 4 of THESE same tires without wheels would be OVER $1,100.00 w mounting, balancing and tax.

The TIRE RACK WANTS $816.00 FOR A SET OF 4 OF THESE TIREs, and THAT’S WITHOUT, MOUNTING, BALANCE,TIRE DISPOSAL ETC. and that is without Wheels TMPS, lug nuts and locks? So this is not a bad price. The tires new are $204.00/ea. + mounting, balancing, tire disposal= $250.00/ea. or more. without Tax & road hazard ins.

I would prefer Cash and local pickup! I would rather not ship them, but if I have too you will have to pay the shipping up front. I'll get the price quote based on where you need them shipped too and you will have to send the money via PayPal, money order or check to me once it clears I'll ship (no Western Union).

PM me if you want more info or you want to go see them they at my Nephew's house in Canton, MI. Send me your number and we can speak briefly so as to set up time that's convenient to both of you. and I'll then text you their phones numbers as to further facilitate the meeting or if your running late traffic etc.
