Default FS: Used set(4) Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 205/50R15 MD

I have a used set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in 205/50R15 with 3/32nd's left on all 4 tires and across all 4 tires(ie: very minimal-to-no camber wear). I bought these tires 2 years ago brand new for about $530. They've since then gone up in price. I just bought a new set of them to replace these for $590. I never used these tires for street driving except to, during and from AutoX events(I have another set of wheels/tires for normal street use). I have never had issues with these tires. No punctures, no leaks, nothing.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. If seriously interested, please post here AND PM me to get my attention. I am located in Howard County and am willing to meet anywhere within Howard County or within a 30min drive. I will not ship.

$80 OBO.

BUMP. I want these damn things out of my garage...

That's $20 each for a tire that offers exceptional amounts of grip and could easily last ~15(a season..) autox events if never driven on the street...

Wow, this is a crazy deal. Seriously. If I didn't have a nearly new set of Kumho Ecsta XS (unmounted, collecting dust in attic) as well as a set of Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (mounted, daily driven) I'd take these off of your hands.

3/32nd's for normal street tires for the average person is low. For competition, this is not low at all. A lot of very serious competitive autoxers SHAVE their brand new tires to about 4/32's to get the most grip out of them(less void space, better contact patch, less tread flex, less weight, etc..). These are at 3/32's. Literally just barely starting on the wear indicators. Obviously these would not be ideal for any rain conditions but for dry competition, they are still VERY good tires. Like I said, if you mounted these on a dedicated set of track wheels and only raced on them, they could easily last a season before they see cords.

BTW, these tires new go for almost $600 a set! I think I'm being very reasonable asking $80, which I dropped from $120 initially. I had a set of 195/50R15 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R's prior to when the new RE-11's came out and replaced them. I sold that set used with about 4-5/32nd's for $200! I know these tires have less tread, which is why my price is less than what I sold the old RE-01R's, but these tires offer MORE grip and are wider. Which is why the price still remains "high" for a high performance tire like this. This is not a claimed "high performance" General, Fuzion, or w/e junk tire.

And it seems like others here agree. I'm definitely not just going to throw them away. I'll keep them stored as back-ups until someone buys them.

Probably just over an hour away. My sister lives in Chevy Chase which is only like 30mins fromthe airport so I might be able to meet around there if that works for you. I might even be able to meet up tomorrow morning/afternoon if you're available. Let me know ASAP though. Sending you a PM.

lol at people who can't read and/or have no idea what they're talking about.

Pending sale for tomorrow. Guess some people are willing to spend some money on "bald *** tires". Hmm, wonder why?
