FS: Set of four Bridgestone RE-71Rs, size 245-45-17. $75 for the set, pick up only.

I ran these tires at several events last year, and one at Cherry Point this year, in my GS Focus ST. They were very, very fast at MCAS in March - fast enough that I took 8th PAX with them. Only reason I stopped using them was, I had a far away event coming up in Georgia, and wanted something full tread depth.

They've been flipped one time. I didn't keep careful track of how many runs I took on them, because I was also driving to events on them. I'd guess I did eight events last year. As you can see, they're pretty worn. But they're also $25 per tire.

They've been stored, loosely bagged, in my garage. This garage isn't climate controlled, but it does stay somewhat close to indoor temperatures most of the year. It never gets super hot in there, and the coldest I ever saw it was 55* this past winter.

Never any punctures.

First $100.00 takes them. There are two stipulations:

1. You have to come get them.

2. You have to take the entire set.

I live in northern Wake County out by Falls Lake. My mobile is

(the usual Raleigh area code) - four-fifty-four - fourty-seven, seventy-five

Phone or text is probably best, but I try to get on here at least every few days.

I sure would like someone to get some use out of these.

Probably so, but I can't swear to it. My Focus has 8s. The GS GTI guys are running 245s on a 7.5, if that helps.

I used to run 245 Hoosiers on a 7 on my S2000 (now Ram's S2000), but Hoosier A6s are pretty different than Bridgestones.

The largest tire we were able to run on my sons '06 mini was a 225. I think anything wider and you'll get rub issues...
