Assume you have looked on Ebay, often part worn tyres there or decent priced new ones.

As of this Saturday I will have 2 brand spanking new Bridgestone RE050 RFT - 1 size down from your ideal but will fit the 3 series no problem - 245/35/18.

It's a long story but coming From BMW UK following an issue I had, in the meantime I have already replaced my tyres so surplus to requirements. Looking for £300.

Let me know if interested, cheers

I have two 255/35/18 RE050 runflats that have 7-8mm on them, they have done a handful of motorway miles only. £200 and they are yours.

They are on a set of 18's I will be selling separately, happy to send pics tomorow if you want but will not be on mail now until early evening. I'll take true depth readings later, I have an MOT-legal gauge...

If scooba not interested I will have second chance. Thanks

Third dibs!!!

scooba0010 · 02-18-2011, 03:08 PM

cool! what are the exact treads on each tyre ?

ALF_E90 · 02-19-2011, 04:25 AM

Measured them and they are just over 7mm to just under 8mm across the whole of each tread. So a fraction of a mm off new. Am PM'ing scooba some pics later, will post on here if they are still available, scooba has first dibs. It looked like they had been fitted just before I bought the car in Dec, and I almost immediately stuck a set of winter wheels/tyres on.

I do also have one Michelin PS2 225/40/18 front available with about 5-6mm tread (will measure and photograph later). £50 secures that (tyre sellers on Ebay generally want £60-70 for similar).

And a set of Style 162 18's staggered wheels in very good condition, not sure what I'll put them up for but similar sets on Ebay seem to get around £450. Looks like they were cosmetically refurbished by the dealer when I bought the car but the marks under the paint are barely visible. They certainly don't need refurbishing and the sets of "cheap" 17's I have bought on Ebay recently needed fully refurbishing which took the price to over £500!

Edited to add - looks from other posts like scooba may have bought some new ones so if confirmed I will start a new thread retaining the first/second dibs from here!
