Default OEM RS-A's worth?

I'll be taking 4 OEM runflat RS-A's off my car soon. They have about 6/32's of tread, and 17k miles of use. From that I'd have to guess they could easily go another 10k or more.

Are these like a $50 on Craigslist, or a have the tire shop toss them kind of thing? Or do they have any actual value?

Thanks!

Shoot just through them on craigslist and see what happens. Sometimes people are in a bind and cant afford new tires ( I buy used tires all the time lol)

I just sold a full set of original RunFlats off my 6,000 mile '05 V. They were in great shape(No plugs/patches/damage) and I measured them at 4-5/32's of tread.

Ended up getting a bit less than I wanted($100/ea) - $90 each after shipping.

Took a nice chunk out of the cost of my new Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires.

I sold a two stock RS-As on ebay for $150 with about half tread.

There are tons of people that think they need to buy the stock tires...they will sell.

I caught 2 RSA's on craigslist, they had about 75% tread and I got about 20k on em right now since buying them. I'll say they don't have many more days on them, but for $100 for the 2 I can't complain. The RSA's are %1,000,000 better/quieter riding than the original FZ1's that I had. As much as I drive mine I've honestly considered buying another set when I replace these. I bought the RE-11's and ended up selling them before I put them on the V....$200 profit...Had to take it. You should have NO problem selling these.

If you were closer to me I'd take em off your hands. I've got 3 tires in the garage, all in different states of wear. I wish I could come across a set of wheels CHEAP, so I could make up some spare sets to sell.

good luck, i want another set of stockers so i can powdercoat them gunmetal so i can switch back and forth. stock wheels are twice as expensive used then new sets from O.E. wheels for fbodies and vettes.
