New free tires (no joke)

I have a lot (17) new tires I am giving away. See my ad in for sale section since I know this is not the right section.

These are the "holy grail" of old school 1st gen 13" tires.

Yokohama A008R
Yokohama Advan AO-48
Bridgestone Pontenza RE-71R

All new, I bought as a package and don't need these tires!

Texas Pick UP only.... NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

Not sure if the moderators approved the ad in the for sale section. I sent you a PM.

Your for sale thread hasn't shown up yet.

Where you at in houston, I have familky down there that may be able to pick up and ship for me.

I used to have those and I love them.

How good a shape are these in? Were they stored air tight and out of the sun?
Any dry rot? Pics?

HAHA... they are in great shape... NO dryrot. They have been kept out of the weather and out of sunlight.

If you guys remember, I bought a car a while back "project cheap autocross". The car came with a bunch of Yokohama tires New!! I have already used two full sets of these tires and they work good. They are a little hard because they are a few years old, but scrub them in and they stick like glue. Perfect street tires.

I'll take at least one set, maybe two if you can't get rid of them.

If no one else has called them, I'd love the AO48s.

Unevolved, you have dibs on the AO-48's.. The set of AO48's are my one set that have maybe a 1/2 of track time on them. They still have a lot of tread left.
They are 185/60/13 for the front and 205/60/13 for the rear.

I also have a NEW set of A-008's and a NEW set of AO-21r's and a new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's.

They are ALL "R" compound tires.

Lemme know and I will give you the AO-48's and one other set of whatever you want.

Either this weekend or next weekend I will be taking my Suburban up to College Station, so i can bring them to you........lemme know!!
