I bought a set of PS2s off this forum years ago. The guy had bought them and then a couple months later decided to lease return the car.

I traded my runflats to him for the PS2s. So I paid $150 (cost of shipping) for a set of tires with 1000 miles on them.


Point is. Theres more than one exception.
