Unhappy So maybe the 3rd time will be a charm.....

So these tires are an interesting story.....

Matt had a co-worker who wanted/needed the tires. Got me hooked up with him and was going to end up doing some business with him also Matt I appreciate your help and the referral. Then the guys falls of the side of the earth and I never hear from him again Okay....no biggie.

Now I get them sold by Jeff I get a call from Jeff they are sold. Finally out of my garage. I gave...and I mean GAVE them away and Jeff says I owe him. Okay no biggie so I run and grab something for him. Now I am totally paying someone to take my tires when all is said and done So not once, not twice, but a third time today he says he isnt coming after I send a 3rd message and he says the tires sizes are wrong I wish this person was on here so I could post negative but I cant since I had nothing to do with it and its another car forum.

PS Jeff...you "owe" me now

Seriously what is wrong with people

So I am out of ideas here. Anyone have any suggestions where I wont "owe" anything as I cant keep giving things away here. I dont have time during the week to get on other sites or message people back and forth. Any other sites I am not an established member so that wont work out.

Anyone

sorry Mike, I really did do my best.
Have you tried to Craigslist them?
I asked a few people locally but seems like they want but won't fit their cars..
ebay possibly?

PS: what you 'owed' me hasn't been opened! feel free to return! And I'll still help you out man, you're a good guy.
And I was also only kidding about the 'owage' !!

No Worries Jeff...Just busting your *****.

Does anyone think or know if a dealer will buy the tires

or another option is I buy 2 more rims and mount them with TPMS and sell them as a package with GS OEM rims and TPMS??

^ A set of 4 basically new tires since I got summer rims/tires. I am using the OEM rims for my winter set up. I am trying to sell the OEM size tires (Summer) for the GS.

I find it stupid hilarious that people who say need new tires won't jump on these. these tires are expensive and since barely used 400 is practically giving them away.
If I had 18s I'd seriously get these, too bad my winter 18s already have snow tires on them otherwise I may have rocked them as alternative summer tires.
If I hear anything else from people who are serious about getting tires I will let you know.

Thanks for everyone's help....I cant believe they haven't sold. I paid MORE for used tires myself that have more miles on them and I had no problem doing it. I hate to be cheap so I don't understand.

All I know is I need to get my winter tires off my car ASAP and I havent heard back on my rims and I tracked the tires and they say exception?

Maybe they tried to deliver and no one was home. Check your front door for the sticker.
