Default Need 255/40/18 tire

I know this is a long stretch but does anybody here have a 255/40/18 tire sitting around. Preferably Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A.

Used or new.... I need one (or maybe two.)

I have these for sale



These are brand new

www.vredestein.com

245/35/18 ULTRA C SESSANTA

275/30/18 ULTRA C SESSANTA

$700 PLUS SHIPPING




The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is the newest ace in the Ultra High Performance (UHP) segment. The Sessanta is based on the strong points of the Ultrac series and has been optimised even further to give very good steering and handling characteristics. Giugiaro Design has given the Ultrac Sessanta an innovative design, with a line pattern that clearly shows that performance comes first. The name Sessanta refers to the sixty years of Vredestein's existence in Enschede. In tribute to Vredestein's unique collaborative partnership with Giugiaro Design, "sixty" will be written in Italian: sessanta.

Parametric design - from the drawing board to the shelf
The Ultrac Sessanta is designed parametrically. This means that the tread construction, shape and contours are optimised for every size using mathematical formulae based on design parameters. Each size of the Ultrac Sessanta therefore offers maximum design quality.

Lexus_Kid, thanks but these sizes will not work for me.

snikwad, that is a good price but unfortunately these won't work either.

are you looking for the OEM tires for the 350? If so I have them in my garage. PM me and we can work out something cheap for you. I do not need them. about 14k miles on them...

My wife drove over something very sharp last night and put a 1.5 inch cut in the rear tire. No way to fix it. I don't want to buy 2 new tires so I'm looking for a used one.

Mike, how much thread left on those Bridgestones?

I will take a pic for you. Its a decent amt. they may have less miles then what I am guessing because of winter tires...

ps I have all 4 if that is better. seriously I am going to throw snows on them in a few months.

Mike, I'm going to see if I can find a used Dunlop SP Sport tire so I don't have to change both rears. If not I'll get back to you.

By the way, I just ordered a set of Tein springs.
