Looking for a bargain set of 225/45-17 tires. Anyone have anything or know of anyone?
Thanks.

got some 215 50 17 Michelin Pilot MXMV H's....something like that. Lots of tread left...7-8 32nds. These aren't cheap tires, about $170 each new...no joke. I don't know what you mean by "cheap". These go on average for $300/set in this condtion on ebay. If interested, make me an offer.

Also, very possible I could meet you within a very reasonable distance in WI within the next few weeks.

they are all season M+S....they are more a touring tire. No complaints with grip or cornering. Noise its hard to say, as the Optima is very quiet on the inside...lots od sealing, sound deadening. I notice the changeover from blacktop to cement.

I can also make it to Eau Claire for you if needed, still have stuff at my grandmas to pick up anyways
