I may be posting in the wrong spot but what are a set of goodyear runflats worth with about 90% tread on them size 17 and 18s. they have about 8000 miles on them.
Reason im asking is i am thinking about buying a new set of wheels and tires and i will want to sell my wagons with the tires and figured the tires are worth some $$$$. If i could get a few hundred for the set i would be happy .

Also, am i taking a big chance not having runflats on the car or should i just get AAA?

I have the runflats, they came with the vette, its up to you Security, or a better ride, for me its security, and you should defenitely get several hundred for them, good luck

 

How are you measuring treadlife.... ?
8K miles sounds like about 20-25% of the expected treadlife...

Many here don't like runflats.
Many are given away... but if you do have 75% treadlife remaining, I think you should be able to get about $400 for them

 

You should post your ad with the remaining 32s of tread left on the tires not the mileage. Depending on how some one drives they could burn up a lot of the tire in 8,000 miles so mileage tells you nothing. Tire age is more important than mileage for tires on a vette. An 8,000 mile tire could be 5 years old depending on how often the car is driven. Tire rubber dries out with age and can be unrealiable. Tread depth and age are you primary selling points.

I bought a used pair of Goodyear F1 GSD3's for the front in summer of 2006. When new they had 11/32 of tread depth depth and the ones I bought had 9/32s so they were fairly new. I paid $150 for the two plus shipping which was about $25 ground. The RFs are more expensive than regular performance F1s but they are not as popular so used pricing would probably be comparable. I bought two new F1 GSD3s for the rear and they cost $288 each plus shipping.

I switched from the RFs to the non-RFs back in 2006 and haven't had any problems. And the difference in the ride and handling is remarkable. I made a little emergency tire repair kit with a small DC compressor from Walmart, some tire plugs and tools, a small scissor jack from a GM Celebrity (circa late '80s), a 1/2 drive rachet, extension and 19 mm socket for the lugs and a spray bottle with soapy water. Short of some major road hazard tire destroying damage I could make a quick repair to a flat and get down the road to a tire shop for a proper patch. I have AAA for a flat bed ride in case of major non driveable tire damage.
