Default What to do with takeoffs?

I had the distinct honor of picking up my new S4 last night. Absolutely loving it so far. Later this week, I'll be replacing the stock Conti summer tires with Michelon Pilot Sport A/S tires. Any ideas on what to do with the Conti's? Neither the dealer nor tire place has any interest in them. Suggestions appreciated!

Default Stack and make a cool bench! ;-) You never know, someone might have some interest in them.

I find they aren't terrible when driven hard. And they worked great in the rain for me. Not to say you can't get better tires (and you'll be VERY happy with the Pilot Sport A/S....an awesome tire!)

Default i would drive the crp out of em for a little while till they are used up

maybe take them to the track a few times and wear em out before installing the new tires.

When owners start hitting 10k-12k miles and find their tires are already shot, there might be a market for your stock new tires. At a discount price, of course.
