Hi Guys

How much do you think these are worth?
Reconditioned 400 mile's ago.
They are straight with no kerb marks.
look like new.
Uniroyal 195/55/13 tyres with no puncture repairs, 2 have 7mm and 2 have 6mm
this is all across the tyre no uneven wear in v.g.c.

Thanks

I had a refurbed set with new tyres and I struggled to get £150 for them.

Really, It cost me more than that just for refurb.
Take it there's still alot of speed line, uniroyal's about,
people nearly paying that amount just for a gear stick/jacking points.

I also have refurb speedlines with x4 MXV Tyres on, again x2 with 8mm yes 8mm and x2 with 6-7mm no repairs etc, these must be worth more, alloys not being on the car yet
ideas peeps

I was shocked by it too. They sold in the end though.
I would imagine ebay would fetch a better price.

I bought a beaten up set for £80 with no tyres. I had them refurb at a total cost of £200 and have bought 4 Uniroyals at just under £200 for the set waiting to go on.

So my set of Speedlines would owe me approximately £480 if I were wanting to sell them...guess I would get nowhere near that price!!

Drop me a PM if you've got a price in mind for either set.

I'm not too far away & can collect.

I got 10 behind my garage but all need refurb. So they are plentiful.

But a good set with good tyres demands good money,

Take the slight ware to tyres etc £200/£275 if they are real good

Less if less so nice.

Just my fair opinion

How much do we think a brand new pair of MXVs in 195/55/13 would be worth? Still have the stickers on the tread and never fitted to a wheel ever

Seen them go for around £40-£50 each on eBay, but I would never risk driving on the tyre as these will be well past is best date by about 10 years.

Could be interested in the set gimme 5 as my tyres are getting a bit perished on the outer edge due to age.just toying with the idea of getting new tyres or a different set of alloys

Interesting comments, about price and age of tyres.
If a tyre is ten years old but has done little or no mileage does this make it unsafe, I know technology moved on etc.. also would you prefer Uniroyal or MXV, or want to run on a new brand of tyre.

Apparently rubber leeches from and degrades over time so hardens and are less able to grip, well that's my understanding. Mine seem fine but I wouldn't be very confident on them in the wet.

Brand etc wouldn't bother me as long as there is no perishing and or cracking of rubber on outer edge of the tyres...(that's if it's me you are asking :) )
