Default used Potenza RE050As from stock ISF

I am selling 19 inch BRIDGESTONE Potenza RE050As from stock ISF.

front: 225/40R19
rear: 255/40R19

these tires have about 13000 miles with no abuse or any hard driving.
one of front (225/40R19) is almost brand new(about 50miles) from changing tire due to flat tire.
I guess there are about good 50% remaings on the life.

I recently put snow tires on stock wheels and getting new set(wider) of wheels coming spring, therefore no need to keep these.

price: 450 OBO for all four tires.


local pick up only between NJ/NY/PA.

I will post pics if you want,

here's link for the pictures

This tires rated for 15000 miles only. It means you can do only another 2000 miles with them.
Based on price for brand new tires (~$1000) your tires should cost about $100 only. Lexus dealer asks $140 for tire mounting so I am questioning whether buying your tires are worthy $50 to me...
Just my opinion.

Did you see the pictures in the link?
it's up to how you drive.

$50? even my local mechanic said he would pay $50 each for my tires when I swap my tires to snow tires.

that's why I prefer local pick ups, see the tires in person.
people might have different view on my tires, that's why I can do OBO.
I know it's not very smart to ship(around $100) these tires, and that why I prefer local pick ups in person

If you don't like my price, please stay away. I am not asking you to pay my price. I am very sorry if my price makes you that aggressive.
people are not stupid. they will decide whether my price is good or bad.

please let me know which dealer do the tires for $1140 for ISF with mounting/balance. that's really good price.

I am not aggressive, just pure math and market research.
Nothing personal, sorry.
www.tirerack.com for tires ($1014) and Lexus dealer of Doylestown, PA for mounting/balance, 15000 miles comes from lexus website or ISF manual.
I personally paid $140 for switching tires summer/winter on my ISF like month ago.
And yes, it was the best price in compare with local mechanics ($160-$200).

please do not state "pure math and market research" on just your thoughts.
you never come here & checked my tires.

and according to lexus web,

"Tire life may be substantially less than 15,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions."

it doesn't mean all tires must be replaced by exact 15000 miles.

I am selling my tires because there are still good miles on it. if my tires not good & worn out, I would just gave mechanic who swapped my tires.

I brought tires from the shop, washed it and took a good pictures because I think it's worth my price.

Since you apparently are not planning to buy the tires, why not leave all the speculation out of this?

I'm on these exact same tires right now with a full track weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park and 22k miles. They're still not worn out. If it weren't for the inside edges being very worn from too much toe out, I'd expect to get 30k out of a set of these. Also, I don't know where you're getting tire work done, but Discount Tire in Atlanta charges $15 a wheel for mount and balance. That's less than half what you paid, and it comes with a full warranty for their work at any Discount Tire.

Your post just sounds like a poor attempt to lowball the price on a decent set of tires.

Well, all posts I have read on CL about this tires and ISF was 5000-10000 miles only. Do not remember where but one guy told about one track day only. He killed all 4 OEM rotors as well.
I have 50% left and 5000 on them. No track, no burnouts.
Did you mentioned about tire size to Discount Tire to get this price? I mean about low profile - 40 and 35. Most of my local mechanics doesn't have right equipment for this size, who does - see my previous post for price.

You didn't read any of that here on Club Lexus. Anyone who "killed" all four rotors on a track day or even weekend doesn't know how to use brakes. Mine have cracks, but they're still well within service limits according to Lexus.

Sorry your tires are wearing so fast. I can't imagine why mine would last three times longer than yours especially with four solid hours of track duty on them.

I have a quote for the install from Discount Tire near my home. I really don't think I need more than a quote to get the price they quoted. They do everything up to 24" there.

But none of this has anything to do with these tires.
