[SOLD] Bridgestone RE-71R 245-40-17 Lightly Used SF Bay Area [CA]

[strat61caster]

Edit: Sold the older set, leaving post intact for posterity and archives.


FS: Bridgestone RE-71R 245-40-17
12x Autocross runs on STX FR-S (6x Test 'n Tune at Crow's Natl Tour Friday afternoon, 3x runs on Saturday, 3x runs on Sunday)
20 miles of street driving (from Crow's to the hotel Saturday night, then back to Crow's) + rolling around the site at <15 mph.
Basically they are pre-scuffed in, given my shit driving at the event they barely got up to temperature.

I bought them for the National Tour at Crow's at the end of April assuming the used set I got was trashed. That turned out to not be the case as the new tires had the same amount of grip as the old (they had 1 season on them ~50 runs, came with my wheels) so I'm going back to the 'old' tires while I dial in my suspension and driving skills. I figure best case I cut my losses on this set and have cash in hand now, worst case nobody wants them and I hang onto them for next season.

Currently $678 on TireRack, actually $723 shipped to my door (and likely yours).
Asking $600, willing to drop off in the South half of the Bay for free, $120 off a set of fresh tires that have been scrubbed in ain't a bad deal.
PM me here and we'll go from there. Local pickup preferred, shipping may not work out as I think Tire Rack quickly becomes a better option given how fresh these are.

Edit: Alternatively I could sell the secondhand tires (you'd be third hands on them) with 1 season of running by PO, 1 TnT and 1 event by me. Figure they are at ~1/2 life so $250/set.
