You're going to need to post pictures and list the tread depth. At 8000 miles those tires are likely 33-50% worn, which makes your price quite high though.

Not at all, if you're only getting 16,000 out of Star Specs you should get your alignment checked. You can easily get 20, if not 25k out of them from normal street usage. Tirerack's user reviews guys who are getting even high as 30 out of them. And I said less than 8,000 just to be on the safe side.

That is true. But when you have an image of tracked Z4 in your signature, people are not going to assume that they were used for docile street driving. Tread depths are kind of a requirement for anyone buying used tires.

Too bad you aren't local and didn't have 245/45/17s.

Hence my 2 set of wheels, one for street and one for track. These are from my street set.

You are absolutely correct. When I get a chance to pull these out of storage, I'll measure tread depth and will adjust price accordingly.

Thanks for proving my point. 8k/33% = 24k. If you want to be stubborn and not post the info that is expected of a tire FS thread, be my guest. All I'm doing is giving you good advice to get your tires sold for a price that is fair for the buyer and the seller. :

I have 25 successful transactions on Bimmerpost and over 10x that on eBay. I'm quite familiar with the selling process. I am not avoiding pictures. I simply have not had the time to take them given my street wheels/tires are in storage during the track season. Hence why I wrote interested buyers should PM me that way I can email them as soon as I have a chance to snap pictures.

The only person being stubborn is you. I've already addressed this in my previous post but given your lack of reading comprehension, I will say it again. Less than 8 does not mean equal 8, I can't make that any more clear. I posted 8 as the high end just to be safe but I'm pretty sure these have about 7k. 7,000 and "Less than 8000 miles" are both pretty similar in my book.

Assuming you get 25k out of these, 7/25 = 28%. 72% x 900 = $648, or my $650 asking price. Again 25k is not unheard of for street usage. Tirerack user reviews go as high as 30k (filter by miles most driven). The math is pretty straightforward.

If you have no interest in purchasing these that's fine but providing unsolicited incorrect advice should best be kept for yourself. None of my posts have been misleading in any way. I've provided factual reference points combined with conservative assumptions to come up with a fair/justifiable price. If you can find a better deal, by all means hop on it. If not, this sale clearly is not for you.

At your offer of $75/tire, I would rather donate these to charity and get a tax write-off (or just keep them and use them for another 20,000 miles).
