have a set of 18" non run flats for sale, they have covered 500 miles.

These are....

265/40/18 rears and 245/40/18 fronts.


These are ?900 online after discount!

Make me an offer that won't make me cry. I would like to get as close to ?400 as possible.


I am in Norfolk and would prefer not to post if possible.

My Dunlop DSST's are on their last legs (and too noisy and harsh) - I am hunting for non-runflat replacements, I have heard that the PS2's are a bit harsh...why are you selling them?

I work in Welwyn Gdn City so am not too far for a meet & exchange.

PS2's harsh??!!

The PS2 is an awesome tyre, the most expensive tyre out there, but definitely the best.


I have an E91 sport touring now and bought some of the new M3 wheels, they come with the above tyres.
I was going to keep the PS2 on there and in that size, the standard size on the 3 series is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 so this is one ratio higher on the profile.
This is the same tyre and size as Alpina use on their 3 series to give the turn in response and comfort that they are so acclaimed for. The ride and comfort compared to before using Falken FK452's was amazing, but when the car is fully loaded they rears were rubbing slightly over speed bumps, so they had to come off and the correct sizes go on.

There is a reason this tyre is used as the oem tyre on all the M cars.


Where have you heard the PS2 is harsh?

gIzzE,

I have 18"8j's which I understand are too small for the 265/40/R18's which need 9j's as a minumum so my back end won't fit the tyres.

If you think different let me know but my tyre advisor says not...

Thanks anyway
Mike

I think it may be pushing it Mike. I would put 255's on there but 265's will be too big I think.

Ah well, don't want to push my luck.

Having looked into the PS2's they seem to be the best - would you sell me the fronts only - the 245/40R18's?

Well I have already been offered ?200 for the fronts and said I would rather hold on to try and sell as a set.
How much do you want to pay?
