replacement tires
I want to trade or sell my 2000/16500mi. I need new tires. Should I do run flats or non run flats? Dealer will give me $18000 as is on trade for a '14. Any suggestions?

look on Craigs list and see if you can buy used. And non-runflats are half the cost of RF . . .A set of Nitto 555's out the door at Discount Tire for $750 . . . Tire Rack is less, then pay to get them mounted.

If you are going to sell/trade it, definitely do the non-runflats. As 8VETTE7 states, they are 1/2 or less of the cost of runflats.

I do work for a lot of new car dealers. From my experience seeing how they do trades, if you can make a deal without doing tires, don't waste your money. You'll spend more than you'll get back, guaranteed.

Not sure why you need tires on a car that doesn't get driven
