Anybody want these tires?

[Racinfan83]

Long story short (see other threads) I am replacing the Nitto 555's on my car. They are 2011 date coded, and have almost all the tread still on em. Problem is that apparently they sat for a long time somewhere and "flat spotted" where a road force balancer fails the tires. There is a vibration above 60 mph with them. Drives me nuts so I'm gettin new ones.
JUST CURIOUS - is there anyone out there within driving distance of St Louis that would be interested in these for a couple hundred bucks? Not sure what the use would be - but I figured I would ask before I have them changed and the shop keeps the old tires....???

If the flat spot is the only thing wrong, and that's the source of the vibe @ 60, brush on some Trans-X, LIBERALLY, inside and out. That stuff seems to integrate into the molecular structure of latex - even vulcanized rubber, and extend shelf life of tires (except for cracking from dry rot).

I fixed it....;)
The other one was kinda hard to read LOL

My new tires will be here today. Was just wanting to know if there was any interest in the old ones before I leave em at the tire store.
I have no idea how I would ship them - so local pick-up or I could meet within like 50 miles of St Charles County Mo (1st county west of St Louis)
If somebody wants to make me an offer in next couple days...???

Here is a pic of the tires on the wheels (wheels not included here)

Guys I might be keepin em. I have a set of sawblades for the car - maybe I will just mount these up and put em on the car for winter storage.
BUT - if I don't I will still bring em home. There is one person interested - and he will get first shot if I sell them.
Stay Tuned...;)

UPDATE: I can't figure out how to delete the thread so this will have to do. I am gonna mount the old tires on my spare rims - so no longer for sale....
