Default Another giving back thread... Snow tires for you if you need them!

A customer stopped by with her 2008 5 series today to have her snow tires mounted. She had these snow tires on her previous 5 series (1997-2003 E39) However, the new 5 Series (E60) has 17's standard, with no option for 16's due to the size of her brakes.

Her tires are 4 Michelin Artic Alpin 225/55/16's, all with very extensive tread. If anyone has a definite need for these, let me know. They are equivalent to 205/60/16's, same rolling diameter. Free to a good home or a small mod donation if you so see fit. :-) Located in Pentagon City.

Default If you need 16s to mount them on...

...I will be selling a set of 5. They're not totally ready (e.g. 2, maybe 4, have worn tires still on them, and I haven't been home at daylight to take good pics of them), but if someone's interested, we can work on timing to get them ready sooner vs. later. Thinking $200; e-mail me off-thread if interested. With any luck, it'll be an official Classified/FS posting by end of weekend.

BTW, Roger - Don't mean to thread-jack, but post a complementary item (since I assume you're offering tires only). I'd be glad to remove if you prefer.<ul><li><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/ahalsted/tire1.jpg">Pic of Same Style Wheel</a></li></ul>

Default Rob if you need them let me know and coordinate with Roger

I can p/u in the truck and you can p/u from me in Springfield or I'll drop them at Tomaz and he can take them over to you.

Default I still have a set of B5 A4 winter mats if anyone wants them.

They are dark brown (I used to have Terra Cotta interior). Free to a good home or a small beer donation if you so see fit. :-)
