Just heard from the guy at the local Les Schwab that the tires for my new wheels will be in shortly. (been waiting for them since I chewed up the right front a bit at PR in early July) So now I have four fairly decent 7k mi. BFG KDWS tires on my stock wheels with a required lifespan of less than two weeks. Should I...
a) do a few smokey burnouts in the Edmonds PD parking lot (just for you rookie)
b) save em for winter use
c) sell em on ebay
d) hang em from a tree and let my kids have a tire swing
e) something else
I could store them in the back of the currently non-functional suburban, along with all of the household junk my wife has come up with over the past year and a half, but sooner or later I would like to get that rig back on the road. Can you say $200 fill up?

If it were me, I'd probably try to sell them on here or ebay

A or D depending on which one is more dangerous :P

Probably more like $250 today. Hey, I have two sets of light truck/passenger car tires I can't seem to sell even with a ton of tread - can I store them in your burban? :lol:
Good to see you around, tell your daughter she needs to come draw some more palm trees on my patio :)

Stock GTO tires are 245/45/17's I think, I would need to go look to know for sure. Probably too narrow for you. :burn:

I haven't even thought much about a price. Make me an offer. I plan to keep the Pontiac center caps, unless they will not fit on the HSV wheels I bought, in which case I will be using the HSV caps.
Two of them are immaculate, I'll have to ask the wife sometime about the other two.

If they were the chrome GTO rims I'd buy them! I'd probably try to sell them here or on eBay. And yes, they are 245/45/17s....

I'll take $350 for two rims. I'll let you know when they are off the car.

Sorry man, but I can walk home from this one.
