Good point. I have a sneaking suspicion the buyer is gonna be looking to mount them though.

Welll... even bald they might run for a while right?

It is supposed to be sunny and 55 today. That means I should get outside tonight.

75ºf right now

Its 79 degrees f outside right now, Iwin

Let's go with the more likely assumption. Buy used wheels, buy new tires, mount/balance. There, once those tires are on, barring critical damage, that's five seasons without needing to be tinkered with.

On the other side, the current wheels/tires would become snow only. Two seasons on them, then I need new tires. That is no difference than swapping tires off wheels, these Nokians will only see two more seasons. I don't know how I'll find new Hakkas then, but I'll cross that bridge when it comes. So... no difference in cost, ergo, it drops from my equation. It only counts as an $80 mount/balance. So I'm up to two mounts/balances total in five years.

Good steal.

Not safely. They are more prone to blowouts, and are very dangerous in rain.

56. It's like spring outside!

 

[MotF Bane]

If I don't obtain second wheels, then it's two mounts/balances per year. We're using five years as my timeline.

Two versus ten. $160 versus $800.

You sure those are factory genuine, and not replica?

Weather.com says 10% chance of rain tonight and today. There is rain all over the current radar on their site, however.

 

[MotF Bane]

I got suggestions for three junkyards that might have wheels.

 

[MotF Bane]

What's this rain stuff you are talking about

A very common phenomenon in New England where water falls from the sky and collects on the ground.

 

[MotF Bane]

At a minimum, new tires will be $700, plus $80 m/b, plus the wheels (~$400). There's $1200.

That's $400 sunk beyond the recoup cost (so really, about the cost of the wheels).

 

[MotF Bane]

And really nice tires would be another $200 over that. D:
