    17" summer tyres

    Over the years I've accumulated far too many wheels and tyres, and I'm having a clear out. This assorted-brand set of four 17" summer tyres in my shed are no longer required.

    Michelin Pilot Primacy 225/45 R17 91Y, datestamp 20/08, 5mm
    (excuse the cobwebs on this one! Originally on my dads previous A3, he replaced a pair when he had a puncture back in about 2009)





    Vredestein Ultrac 225/45 R17 94W, datestamp 17/05, 6mm





    Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45 R17 91Y, datestamp 08/04, 6mm





    Dunlop SP Sport 01A 225/45 R17 91W, date stamp 20/09, 7mm





    Ideal if you want to chuck a tyre in the shed as a spare, need a pair for your station car, want a rear pair (or two!) to burn on a track car, or you are about to px / WBAC and have a tyre approaching borderline etc etc

    I have absolutely no idea how to price these? You could buy a Chinese ditchfinder new for about £50? Probably less? I paid £40 for the 7mm Dunlop 12 months ago. Had never bought a part worn before, but I wanted to make up a set of four, and I'd rather something branded than a ditchfinder. Say £30 for the Dunlop (both newest + most tread) or £100 for all four?

    Smallprint - I did have these four on my A4 in 2015 for a couple of months, so I know for a fact they hold pressure and don't have any nails in. However, they are sold without guarantee or warranty etc. Collection only from Bedford.

    Open to sensible offers on these - especially multiples.

      Need to get shot of these before the weather folds and we head to winter - need to reclaim the space they are taking up in my out-house!! £20 each, £30 for the Dunlop? (both newest + most tread)

      If they don't sell soon, I'm likely to just throw the Bridgestone and Vredestein - so I'm open to sensible offers on this (6mm) pair in particular if you are wanting more than one.

      Collection only

        You have a tiny audience on here as has been borne out. Stick em on ebay,will be gone quickly.

        Of course if they go here great. Just saying.

          Cheers for the feedback! Would have thought 225/45 R17 would be a popular size on here? Don't really use ebay but its an option. I've listed a free advert on Pistonheads, nothing from there as yet.

          I am fully aware that rubber tyres do have a shelf life and two of the above are ten years old - do you think I should just bin those two?

            That's whole different debate as far as rubber having a shelf life. Tyres that shall we say of a more recent manufacturer i would agree have a limited shelf life. When that time of poor quality rubber, in terms of premature cracking, came about i'm not sure.10 years ago possibly??

            I have 4 gloriously new B5 sports wheels,from spare wheel wells , with tyres the same pattern on out B5 daily tdi.The youngest of the set is 17 years old the oldest 19 years. The've been on the car 2 years now, wearing really well and are as if they were made yesterday. I have complete faith in them and use them as Audi intended including high speed motorway work etc.

            If those 10 years old tyres you have are in fine fettle then let some one on eBay be the judge,i'm sure they would happy with 2 for £60 delivered. You will be surprised.

                  These are simply in the way and I particularly want (need!) these gone before I swap from summer tyres to winter wheels. If I'm totally honest I just cannot be arsed with ebay for such low value items (plus I'm not quite sure how that would work listing four tyres all together when I'm prepared to sell them separately etc). I have some weekdays off next week, Audi booked in for mot and a minor service, I will be taking the Vredestein & Bridgestone to the tip next Tuesday or Weds, so if you want any of the four listed above please get in touch!

                  I'm going ADI this weekend.

                      ALL SOLD

                      Great to meet you Slacky and your two little helpers haha. We worked out a deal that if the Michelin and Dunlop were purchased for £50, I would include for free the Vredestein & Bridgestone that I was due to take to the tip.
