Runflat Tyres Second Hand

Chrjy · 02-05-2014, 07:18 AM

I'm due to replace my car in March (320i SE Coupe) and when I first bought it (2009 used model) I replaced the runflats with standard tyres as I felt the ride was too harsh.

The point is the runflats have been stored in my garage for the last 2 years and so I was thinking of selling them. From what I remember they have approximately 4mm tread on them and I was thinking around the £125 ($200) mark for all 4.

Does that seem like a sensible price or too much or too little?

Sizes are:
Rear:
255/35 R18 90W

Front
255/40 R18 88W

You mean Front 225/40?
You can start with this price if no one buys it or tries to negotiate you can always come down.

Yeah sorry other way around!

Just wondering of anyone else has sold used runflats and what sort of price they sold them at.

4mm is not much tread left...

Like Alex Said, 4mm is very low tread. I sold some stock Conti SSR 17'' runflats with 9mm tread left and sold them for about $225. They were for sale for months too.

Who's buying tires with 4mm of tread life left on them?? Buying 2nd hand tires is a bad idea - nobody should be considering it for safety's sake. However, I know some people have bought them simply to put on their lease before returning it since BMW will require the original equipment on the car. In this case, BMW requires 9mm of tread minimum. So these tires wouldn't even suffice for someone in a lease-return situation.

Thanks all for your replies. Obviously not worth anything then and probably should bin them...oh well at least I know.
