They look very nice and I'm very tempted. Added to my eBay watch list. Trouble is I've got too many cars and even more sets of wheels already.
Minor point, but it doesn't look as though whoever fitted the tyres understood the purpose of the red and yellow dots. Very few people seem to. Good luck with the sale. |

Same here. Recently sold two cars, bought another two cars, bought two sets of wheels, and now selling this set. Need to slow down a bit!
That bugs me too. I bet there's loads of fitters who just don't feel it's worthwhile. Cheers |

I would always put the yellow dot if a tyre had it at the valve, if it wanted over 70 grams on either side when balancing then we would pop the bead again and spin it 180°. And then check again, if it still wanted more than 70 grams then we would mark the tyre by the valve and spin the tyre 90°. Check again and if it wanted over 70 grams still then mark it and spin 90° then we would do it in between the marks, we would have 8 opportunities then to get it below 70 grams. The most I had to spin a tyre was 6 times on a buckled wheel that the customer refused to get straightened out.
Tyre fitting isn't a straight forward job especially with 275/40R20 tyres on freshly refurbished wheels with spokes that sit outside the lip of the wheel which like to hit the head of the tyre fitting machine if you aren't careful and don't give it clearance.
