Have you looked at ebay prices or ads here?

Fronts are nowhere near in demand as rears and rarely do people require 4 tyres at the same time.

You are going to cut out most of your potential customers.

Like yourself many people ditch runflats for normal tyres. Most people just want a pair to give the car back or to sell.

They want something cheap and with good tread. 5mm+ is all they look for.

you can get a set of 4 for just over £1000 fitted just now. Spending £850 plus another £15 per corner to fit makes the saving very small.

£850 almost pays the full cost of top brand non runflat tyres.

If you look at ebay the rears advertised at £300 rarely sell. Same with any pairs or fronts over £250.

You will see good tyres by established members on here getting no interest for fronts at £175.

On a good day at ebay you might get £300 for the rears and £250 for the fronts.

As a set of 4 you will struggle badly to sell. A few people have tried on here and failed.

You are aiming too high.
