Are you selling or buying them? If buying then I'd say its a decent deal. You should be able to use them until they are at about 25% of the original thread if I'm not mistaken. You do have to figure in another 60-80 bucks for installing them though.

I will tell you what my boss told me about used parts of any kind: "Asking me to give you a guarantee on used parts is like asking me to give a guarantee on your girlfriends virginity after you go out on a date". Just food for thought.

Thats a good deal. But, have you seen the tires in person? They don't look too bad from what can be seen in the pictures, but they may be old and cracking, or have a crappy patch job or something of that sort. If they check out good, then get 'em.

check and see how old they are before purchasing them. in the u.s. we have a dot # on the tires and i'm not sure if it's the same canada, but it's usually either a 8 or 12 digit number code on the sidewall of the tire (just 1 sidewall, not both). the last for digits of the dot tells the week and year the tire was manufactured. for instance - "0502" would be the 5th week of 2002. if the tires were manufactured anytime earlier than the last 3 years i wouldn't purchase them because kuhmo quit making the supra a little over two years ago. older tires tend to weather crack very easily. hope this helps you in your decision.
