hey guys, im looking at buying the below rims/tires the tires are dunlop wintersports m3's with 9k miles. How many miles do these tires typically last? the guy wants $500 for the set..good deal or no?

 

anybody?

 

No idea on mileage but I had those on my Altima SE-R (Z stays inside for winter) but they are an awesome winter tire.

 

Check with a tire dept meter how much thread is left and try to find out how much thread they have when new.

 

bump it up, anybody have any insight?

 

I used new M3's last winter, and they still have plenty of tread left on them. Don't treat them like performance tires and they'll last a long time.

Depending on how old those tires are, it sounds like a good deal.

 

does sound like a bargain. I'd be VERY cautious about buying 2nd hand tyres for safety reasons..

 

it's all about how they were driven... but that SHOULD be no problem. I get 2-3 seasons out of my snows typically, unless I get drift-happy and start wearing through the snow :P 'course, that wasn't in my Z, but in a 320rwhp Porsche 951 w/ Quaife lol..... quite fun on snow/ice!!

 

so heres a larger pic, does the tread look alright? is it me or does it look worn on the right edge?
