Sorry, but it's a 'what are they worth' thread
Hi,
Just wondering - currently have toyo 888's on the car but I don't really get a chance to use them as they should be so I guess it's a bit of a waste havig them on there...........
So what are they worth? They all have over 3.5mm on them, evenly worn and not scrubbed on the shoulders. Never been on track either.
Size is 225/40/18 and the GG compound.
Mods - this isn't a for sale thread - just wanna know what someone might be willing to pay for them.
(ps - paid my membership fees but still not a full member so please don't remove)

I bought a similar set for £150, but they were cheap.

Ok £150 each and your on.
Serious tho - I have no idea what 2nd hand tyres are worth. I know that they are around £190 new, but do you half the cost etc etc?

I would say between £200-£250 as there half worn already to be fair and if someone was to do a track day they would be shot in 1 day.

I would have said they are worth a fair bit more than £200 - £250. They would cost £760 new?!
Id probably accept an offer of £450 for them so I could replace with sessantas, but they ain't for sale.......... ( yet )

Sounds fun. When I took the green bug to Knockhill it was pissing down with rain. I got a bit carried away and chucked her into the kitty litter!
Might wait a bit before the T20 has a similar (not too similar) outing!

I bet there was a bit of buttock clenching going on!
The T20 is a far better track animal but too nice to be thrown around the track.

Sorry, but they aren't worth £450
£250-£300 is realistic
