Default BF Goodrich Tires in Decent Shape.....

Hello forum friends just wondering if anyone has a nice set of BF Goodrich in the Garage they feel like parting with. I have read a ton of threads suggesting what sizes look/perform the best and would like to try and grab them here....I know old tires are suspect for our cars but maybe there are some newer DOT number candidates available. Open to different sizes but would prefer all 4 same size. Thanks Very Much

Cheers

Why do you want to buy used tires for a corvette? The cost to buy &ship would be more than buying new or you looking for a free handout?

Kenba,
Not looking for Charity.....Sometimes forum members have multiple sets of tires/rims for their car(s) that are new or close to new .....Missed a new set last week that still had stickers on them ....They were also not to far away....

Respectfully,

Still think that you can find new tires that are new for not much more than buying used plus shipping. Also the age of the tire has more to do about the safety of the tire than the tread. If you could find a set of fairly new ones close to home that would be great.

I was looking at Cooper Cobras for my YJ8's which are under $100/ea on Amazon (prime is free s&h) and have a better tread wear / durability than the BF Goodrich tires for what it's worth. I current have the BF Goodrich on my rally rims.

Well, if you had a connection in central Ohio I could help you out. I have 4 255's I put on the car in 2014 and 2 more 235's that I put on the front in 17 or 18.

Says it's 8 hours 47 minutes. if you want to come this way you could have them home by Sunday night.
