I just bought 2 front wheels for winter duty that came with 2 245/40r18 PS2's, that I do not need. There is a good amount of tread left. Get an awesome tire for a great deal. Brand new this tire sells at tirerack for $283 each, I'll sell both for $250 + shipping Lots of life left!

I'm interested but concerned with the thread seperation and thread edge wear.

Did the previous owner run on the track with these tires?

Do you know how old these tires are?

I will tell you as soon as the previous owner gets back to me. Also, isn't there a marking on tires that tells you the age of them? Anyone know anything about that?

previous owner of the tires

I was the previous owner of these tires. I bought my M5 with 24K on the clock and the previous owner was from somewhere in Monterey, CA. I did not track the car and the car had such low miles and beautiful shape that I doubt they track the car. However, I don't have anymore information than that.

Wish I could be more help,

James

Ok, I found the DOT marking, with last four numbers being 1803. If that is the correct part of the number, these tires are quite old. 18th week of 2003 they would have been made.

Here is a picture of the marking...

2. Avoid fast turns on curves and around corners.

Boo. Now what fun is that?
