So i'm looking at changing from the run-flats to Falken's as I can't get along with the crashy ride....

However, I can only really afford this if I can get some money back for the RFT's. So the question is what are used Bridgestones worth or what would people pay for them? The tyres are;

225/35/R19 fronts with 6mm of tread

255/30/R19 rears with 5mm of tread

No uneven wear on any of them and the car has covered 11,200 miles from new (09 reg)

Thanks

I got £200 for mine, but my advice would be to keep them, because come time to sell your car, the dealer will want it with runflats, so all they do is knock you the price of a set, from the trade in price.

So if you want to sell them. I'll give you £200

I thought this was an urban myth and they never even check tryes?

I can only go from my experiences, I've been asked by 3 dealers what condition the tyres are in and are they run flats, so maybe they're wising up to people changing them.

Hmm, well I was goign to run my RFT's down past 3mm, maybe I swap em before they get to that and store them.

Or fit non runflats now and enjoy them for longer.

Thanks

Ebay generated loads of interest with 10+ bidders for both pairs (sell in separate auctions in pairs)

I sold my 225/40/18 with 6mm left for £150 for two!!

The rear 255s were only 2 or 3mm left, they went for £30.

In both cases i sold them "buyer to collect", and both buyers sent couriers to collect them which must have cost them at least £30.
