Guys, check this out... not a joke.... here is the eBay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7967327330&category=66476
There is no reserve listed! Is this auction by someone here??? Wow.

Sure is written in a confusing way. Is the auction for the tires that have 20K on them, or the new ones....... I don't need tires.... I'm just sayin'......

Yeah, I was confused too, but that is a normal condition for me. Who keeps the stickers off their tires? Are those stickers off the new tires his wife bought him? At 20K miles, I would like to see a close up view of the fronts!!!

Yeah, I know... confusing... If you look at his seller rating you'll see that he sells a LOT of stuff on eBay...
My take is that the stickered tires are for identification purposes only, but the tires on auction have 20.000 miles. In any event, my MM tires have 27,000 miles and still look good, (though not as good lately after the Trilogy) but worth a bid under $100.00, (IMO).
We'll see what happens.... :beer:

If there are 20K on those rears they are shot, most likely.
I'd like to see a picture of THEM. My fronts are still originals at 20+K on my car, but the rears are dead and gone.

There are 6 days left on the auction. Waaaaaay too early to be trying to outbid anyone. Lay low and check it when its closer to closing.

Careful, it could be BillyGman offloading his tires! :) Now theres one man I wouldn't buy a used tire from! Racing slicks maybe but not tires!

Sounds like his wife insisted on him putting on the new tires.The old ones are on the block.Mine dont look very well after that much mileage.I could see buying them for a song, and destroying them while playing it!:D

Auctions always fly up the last few hours/day. Not worth getting excited about a good price till then.

The two to the left appear to be the fronts, and even in this photo you can see abnormal inner wear. My fronts had great tread except for the inners, which is why they were changed. Why buy tires that are almost worn out?
The two to the right must be the rears, and don't look too bad.... except you can't tell tread depth from this photo. They could be down to the wear bars.
I wouldn't touch these. Cripes, if your're that fracking cheap, wait til mine get 20K on them and I'll give them to you. Looks to me the guy didn't want to pay the disposal fee at the installer.
Also, I don't like the fact he removed the stickers off his new tires and put them on his old tires.

How did you get 27,000 miles on your tires??? My rear tires wore completely out at around 13,000 miles, especially the right rear one, which even went flat before I noticed it was bald. (I have Stage one kit and have been known for being quick:):)) (I still have the front tires with 17,000 miles on them)

I have 34,000 miles on my MM. Had to replace 1 rear in November and will be replacing the other rear soon. Fronts still have quite a bit of tread left.

TECH, your obviously well versed in the in's and out's of this vehicle as you drive a pretty bad ass one. And as, im sure everyones else's post are about to say, tire wear is really bad on these cars. I lost my rears at 12.9k. front were unsafe to drive on at 19k. I wouldnt buy a set of OEM marauder tires with 20k to save my life.

Looks like someone is trying to drive up the price. :bop:
I hate it when 'new' bidders (meaning ZERO feedback score) start bidding. Granted, it may be someone who is new.... I just don't trust that.

With 34K on the tires, (and I don't know how that is possible;) )The tires should be replaced in pairs.And if you are still wondering, the fronts are a pair and the rears are a pair:o .If you got 34k and can still keep them inflated,"Someone take his car away from him!"J/K:P Things I have always replaced in pairs;brakes shocks, tires.some times headlamps and such.
