Tuna screwed up his tire order.

This is a weird one, folks.

I have four BRAND NEW, never mounted tires. They are Michelin Primacy HP.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Primacy+HP&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=25VR6PHP&tab=Sizes

They are $171 each new. It's $684 worth of tires. Here's the thing. They are the wrong size and won't fit on my car.

I'll sell them for $400 (GRM only), or you can trade. I'll consider a trade for a 205/45/R16 or something like that in excellent condition.

Can't you return them?

In reply to Andy Neuman:

No

They are 225/50R16 FYI

That sucks! If you were closer, I'd check it out, those would probably work on my Forester.

I would definitely consider meeting halfway.

That would be somewhere between Salsbury and High Point, I think. I'm going to have to go to Asheboro soon, so that might work. Message me, I guess.

Dang, Nice tires. Those would have been good for the LeMons car. Lower TW than what we have, even. Wish I had something that would use them.

ME TOO!!!

Now I am out $$$ and I still have no tires I can use. One of Catywampus' tires is bulging.

For the record, Brett and I are having some difficulty connecting, so for now, they are still available, at least until we can firm up arrangements.

Would you consider shipping them for shipping $$$ + effort $$ ?

Yes indeed. Tell me how to ship them. I'm outta my league there. I could get them in the mail tomorrow if Brett is okay with that.

Lets wait on Brett, it's the polite thing to do. These would be for my son's car, if they fit, you aquit; no, no, you ship.

Other option is wheel spacers and roll the fenders. More rubber is good.

For a honda?!!?!?! wouldn't cheap wheel spacers be less than the loss you'd take selling the tires?

Brett just passed via E-mail.

Tell me how to ship, and we can work out $$$ via E-mail. It's BKB 001 at gmail dot com

Tire shipping is usually just individual with labels on some tape wrapped around the tire the narrow way. You can tape 2 of them together usually. No need to box or package them usually.

just gonna second this...easy peasy.

wish I had anything that fit those tires...good deal.

Gonna have to pass Tuna, kid put 17s on his car.

Gah! Ok Brett, can I ship them to you then since we can't connect in person?

Or bring them to albemarle, and I'll take them to Winston Salem or something on the next couple of weeks.

That's a really nice offer, but two issues: Four hours in the car with the kiddoes is starting to sound a lot less likely, and, I need to get some money out of these ASAP so I can replace the tires on Catywampus, as the one with a bulge is not going to last much longer!

$72 for a 4 pack of 1" wheel adapters (good style) Ebay Linky

Sorry but that really isn't what I'm trying for here.
