Tires with 1000 miles left on them
 
Hi, I have some original tires with about 1,000 miles left on them. Is anyone interested to buy? Figured it could be used for drifting and other fun.

Very precise number of miles "left".

I'd suggest you just put them out on the curb ....... someone will steal them ....;)

Betcha that kid had fun rolling that tire down the street ........ :w00t:

When I was living in California, it was easy to get rid of junk ........ just put it out on the curb in the evening ....... and it would be gone by morning ..... :thumbsup:

I'm super curious to know what you think they are worth... Because, 'hey, does anyone want to pick up some shit tires for free so I don't have to dispose of them,' sounds more plausible then someone actually spending $$$ and time to mount tires that will shred in all of 30 seconds (maybe) while drifting, right?

If you try hard and believe in yourself, any set of tires can have only 1000 miles left on them :D

Only gps miles count right?

For those that are unsure of how to actually measure how much is left on a tire...these exist.

Yep, that'll tell you how much tread you have left. Won't tell you how many miles it will last though.

Of course! Which is why I find such claims funny. That and the coin measure trick.

My brand new stock tires can last you about 20 seconds in a parking lot.
