Hi, is there any market value in a pair of barely used BF Goodrich rear tyres which were fitted to the car in the US about 6 years ago?
I bought a full front and rear set of Nankang Econetic EC-2 (or something similar) tyres but my local garage persuaded me to keep the Goodriches on the rear as they are still practically new (7-8mm tread, no cracking, etc).
Trouble is a/ I've now got a pair or rear tyres sitting in my garage taking up (a surprising amount!) of space, and b/ my OCD is twitching as having matching front/rear tyre patterns would make me much happier.
Ideal result would be someone saying 'Yay, I'd love a spare set of Goodriches, I'll come and collect them and give you enough cash to cover having had them taken off and your Nankangs sticking on instead, when are you free?'
But I realise it's entirely possible I'm living in cloud cuckoo land (SWMBO tells me that all the time!), so if anyone tells me 'forget it mate, they're worthless, just change the tyres and dump 'em!' then I guess that's also helpful..
As ever, any tips greatly appreciated!!
I suppose I could always bung 'em on fleabay. Always seems such a hassle, though..
Cheers!
