Does anyone have a used or semi-used set of 235 or larger 17" tires?? I'm trying to squeeze the last bit of life out of my rear tires before switching to winters, but with 2 months or so left, I dont think it's gonna happen, since I noticed some small chunking on the inside with a cord or two barely visible on shoulder of the tread.

If anyone has anything I could pick up for some $$, it would be amazingly appreciated. I'd buy a fresh set, but it seems somewhat poinless to me since I'm going to be upgrading to a set of 18" wheels in the spring.

Thanks!

I have a pair of Yoko AVS ES-100's with a lot of life in 225/45-17, but they'd be kinda narrow for a rear tire

Might try calling some local tire joint or a dealer, they love to replace tires that don't really need to be replaced yet, and just throw the old ones away.

ursa, i think i spotted you this morning as you merged onto 93. Noticed the wheels and the D Force sticker in the rear driver's window. I passed by in the blue M roady.

That was me. I noticed your car and the wheels but I was too focused on getting a Iced Americano from Starbucks then to catch up to you. :embarrasm
