FEELER: Sumitomo HTRZ III Tires: 275/30/19 and 245/35/19
I got these tires earlier in the year, but I ended up using them (gently) less than 1,000 miles, most of which were during my commute on the highway during which my average speed is 40mph. I am now considering going back to 18s in the spring, so I'll have no use for these.
A set at Tire Rack is about $820 + shipping and I'm open to reasonable offers. They are off the car and ready to be shipped, should someone want them and we end up striking a deal.
If there is some interest, I will post pictures showing thread-wear in the most typical coin-measuring fashion.
Would you be willing to sell the rears only? PM me if so, fairly local to you. Thx

If I sell the rears then it will likely become impossible to sell the fronts afterwards. Especially in the M5 community where the rears get the most abuse.

No worries, I actually need 4 as I am putting those on my RS4 and they are the same size on all 4 corners.

Heh heh. Grip is not something it necessairly needs, but I feel the stock 255s are just too narow (especially since the rim is 9 inches and can easily handle a wider tire). Many have gone the 275 route, makes the steering even heavier, which I like. I ran 275s on my E39 M5 all around (on rear rims with spacers), loved the look and riding characterisitics.
G/L with your sale!

Here are pictures. As you can see, they have plenty of life left. I barely broke them in. I didn't have a penny, so I used a dime. Still, you can see that they all have plenty of thread left.
I am gonna let these go for $750 shipped anywhere in the continental US.
