Default If you can fit 225/50/16s, I've got 5 of them under the deck.

2 Michelin Pilot XGTs in great shape
2 Khumo Ecstas in somewhat decent shape
1 Hankook RS2 with a patch near the sidewall (held up for one session at VIR, then I punked out)

Let me know if you want any/all.

Default I'd trade you my 4 g009s and the 16"s off my car if you can get my celebrations rerounded for me

about 2k on the G009s. Bought them for the 12v, but I'm selling it on a set of junker 15s I bought a while ago.

Default A silver A4 at Crazy Rays in Jessup have a brand new spare in the trunk with that size mounted

on the same wheel like yours. IIRC, it's $40 for the wheel and tire.

Default He's replying to me. $90/wheel and I think only two are bent but now that I think about it

probably not a good idea as I'd want to take care of all 4 - they may have issues - PO was a wealthy idiot - and you can get 4 new ones at that price.

Get a take off tire with similar tread for now, buy summers eventually...would be my advice, since you already have winters. Or go all in and buy summers now. You can be liberal with what tire you mount since you put so few miles on the car anyway...
