two came with falken azenis st115s, in good condition. &nbsp;the other two came with yokohama dna g.p.s with camber wear...was wondering if i should keep them on or not (treadwear is 100 so they wouldnt last long anyways) or take them off and try to sell them (is their a market for rare tires with wear <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> )...My replacement is probably going to be falken ziex 502s, h rated, 360 treadwear (or any h rated tire with good treadwear for the matter, might be AVS intermediates if the treadwear wasnt 160)...Also i am going to refinish the rims in black, i dont think the white will look nice on my dark red 240. &nbsp;By the way i picked up the set for $280, living in so cal is great!

those are 15" right? I'd give you $10 for the pair of DNA GPs if they were 16. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;haha honestly though, I don't know if you can really sell the tires for anything.
Looking at the tread though, they look virtually identical to the Yoko ES100. I watched a short info video on the DNA series from Yoko/Advan, and they sound like &nbsp;good tire.
Consider taking the tires off and swapping sides (i.e. put left tire on right rim and vice-versa) so that you can wear the other side... oh wait, you're on stock susp. aren't you. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;They look like they have at least a few miles left in them!
What sizes are the tires?

if you're running any negative camber... you can be ghetto like me and just flip the tires around. &nbsp;go turn them around and have them re-mounted and re-balanced, the other edge should be good for a few more miles. &nbsp;if you want to sell them, you probably won't get more than the $10 adey offered you for them...

please don't listen to me, i'm very cheap. &nbsp;go buy yourself four early christmas presents.

yeah, I wasn't serious about the offer... well, not really. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
I have some Yoko AVS-Is in 205/60/15 that I could get you if you need tires. $50 a piece! new, never used.
If I were you I'd just flip the DNA-GPs, they look like they have some tread left. Your stock susp. should treat the tires pretty well. how much tread do you have left on the azenis?

azenis have good tread, and look awesome. &nbsp;cant wait to try them out, seeing that they are a good track/street combination (for my slightly spirited grocery getting). &nbsp;yes i have stock suspension, but coming this weekend i wont. &nbsp;i picked up a set of tokico/sportlines for $100 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> The AVS Is are the same as intermediates?
