R888's

Just shooting the **** here and not making a sale

but guys help me out, I have a good set of Toyo R888's on my X, only 11 laps on a track and im guessing less then 500km on them
here is my problem,, I just moved into my first place and now after making a turbo order I dont have any extra money at all... and I need summer tires bad!
dont want to ride around on R888's

my plan was to buy another set of rims and summer tires but that will get me up pased 2k

So:

-Sell them and buy new summer tires?
-Trade them for summer tires and maybe a little cash?
-ride them out and waste $1600 tires lol

Used tires are used tires, man i bought 16x BFG R1's for peanuts..... why would you sell tires man? Frig raceteams in the states sell used R888 for $200 for a used "qualifying" set. Meaning they get qualified on and then taken on before the race.


Just use them and enjoy them. If you can get more then $350 for the tires I will give you a hi-five and a Starbucks coffee

^ I need to see where they sell them for that price with out being in fully slick mode lol
I'm just saying these will only last me 5k miles if I DD them
would rather get a good tire that will get me through the yr and still have alot of life untill I can get some track rims then get a good set of track tires like r888s
the only thing with AWD car is you shouldn't run tires that don't have all around even tread wear left

If you have anyone living close to the boarder ship there, free shipping for the win. Shipping up here costs a good penny.

Those are nice and quiet daily tires
