I just ordered a set of 4 Nero M&S's this morning as a permanent year round replacement tire for my SS/SC (the Rosso's have no Winter rating, and I live in Upstate N.Y.!).

My car is just 5 mo., so I only have 4,500 miles on the tires. I'll be taking pics of them as soon as my Nero M&S's get delivered/installed (in a couple of days).

They go for $210 ea. new at Tirerack, so I'm thinking $100 ea. + shipping (half price but NOT half worn). When they get unmounted, I'll get a tread depth gauge and let you know the exact tread depth.

Just giving everyone a heads up that they'll be available soon!

BUMP

My 215/45ZR18 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S's get installed this afternoon.

So a GREAT deal on my barely used OEM Rosso Tires begins right after that!

Stay tuned for pics ...

firemanfrank

Ok, got the M&Ss's installed today and the Rosso's came off.

I measured the tread depth of the 4 tires and got the following:

1) 7/32
2) 7/32
3) 8/32
4) 8/32

Noting that the OEM tread depth of these tires is 10/32, then the % of wear is:

1) 70%
2) 70%
3) 80%
4) 80%

And seeing the tires go for $205 new at the Tire Rack, we get the following remaining value:

1) $143
2) $143
3) $164
4) $164

That would mean there's $614 left worth of tread on the tires.

I'm only looking for $400 + shipping!
(shipping to me was $38.72 for all 4 - Pennsylvania > New York)

Here are pics of the 4 tires (did my best with the digital camera):

Hey the pictures didn't show up

firemanfrank

They were there when I made the post, and I'm looking at them right now.

Problem with your computer?

g5mike

I'll take em...wait i forgot i'm driving this piece of slow crap pathfinder now.

firemanfrank

Heh, your lucky to have another vehicle to drive in the winter... so don't knock how slow it is!

Besides, when you get a nice dry winter day you can still drive the 'Balt.

LOL

how far from windsor ont ar u?

firemanfrank

According to Google maps, you're 528 miles from where I live (in central N.Y.).

The other person I'm talking to about the tires as also from Canada, and he's 1,661 miles away.

Shipping $$ is a real killer for you guys ...

Funny things is, UPS shipping to you from where I live is the same as the other guy (regardless of his extra 1,000 miles) about $122 for 4 tires.

stage2

i know....its insane, thanks

firemanfrank

Well, I paid $40 to have my new tires shipped to me in N.Y State.

So an extra $60 for me to ship the tires to Canada is actually pretty good, seeing how both you guys are 500+ and 1,600+ miles farther away.

Actually, it looks like that I was the one who paid too much for shipping!

^BUMP

Spring's just around the corner peeps.

Somebody's got to be in need of some decent rubber!

Price Lowered To $300 + shipping for all 4!

EceSSiveMod

bump for a great price

firemanfrank

Thanks for the bump E/M!

This is a good deal peeps.

$75 ea. for a tire that normally goes for $200 ea. new, and with still 70-80% tread left.

hydraze

hey, i want them... i just need about 1 more week to gather the res of the funds. where are u shipping from? whats the tire size?

firemanfrank

Albany area.

Shipping shouldn't be too bad from where you are in NYC.

These tires are the OEM tires for SS/SC's (Pirelli Rosso 214/45 - 18).

Islandbound

Have you already sold the tires? If not, I would be interested in buying them off of you.

Island

firemanfrank

Not yet (several peeps were interested but they were too far away - shipping costs would have precluded it from being a good deal).

Assuming 25 lbs. a tire, for where you live in NJ shipping would be about $50 for all 4 tires (2 tires shipped would be about $25) .

So that would be $350 total.

*UPDATE*
I'm starting to get pm's from some people who want the tires, so the only fair thing for me to do is the sell them to the first person that comes up with the $$.

Keep me posted!

firemanfrank

TIRES SOLD FOR $300!

Thanks islandbound.

Your Welcome, getting them put on tomorrow,
