cheap tire dilemma

I found a local guy here who happens to be selling some 99% tread, almost brand new, khumo ecstas 225/40/18

which is the tire i was probably going to end up buying anyway.

kick is....hes willin to sell for $350 CA for the whole set....but i dont really need them for at least 6 months, probably more.


Am i crazy to turn down such a good deal even though i dont need them?
keep in mind you cant compare tirerack to this....
in canada, the BEST price possible on these...is around $190 a tire.

anyone have these tires?
suggestions?
help!

Buy em! throw em in storage til you need em. or turn around, mark them up, and sell them.

If you havn't allready bought these I would vote to buy them. Tires don't go bad after 6 months or even a year, so storing them isn't a problem. Spend the money now, you'll thank yourself later .

Only problem I see, and might not matter to you, is those are H speed rated. Might take a hit on handling, and wouldn't do any high speed runs on them. Just FYI.
