Default Need help. What Tires are these?
A Local guy wants to sell these to me, He say they are Bridgestones but I cant find them on their page. Does any one know what these are, and are they any good?




What online site are there where i can buy R888 or those above?
Tirerack.com did not have neither of them.

Thanks Anton

they look similar to the RE55S, but unless they redisgned the tread thats not them. google R888 and you'll find a lot of places who carry them


why not ask the guy what model tire they are exactly and have him take more pics for you...and how old are they?

before buying them or considering, you really want to know how old these tires are
