Basically I have 4 tyres sitting in the garage at the moment 3 x Bridgestone re050 and 1 x cheap thing the dealer stuck on in August last year (I'll check the make tomorrow)

2 of the Bridgestones that were on the rear are cracking pretty much all over but still have loads of tread left, other one again has loads of tread left too. The random tyre again is virtually new probably covered 4k miles if that.

How much do you reckon they are worth? 225/40/18

When you say cracking I'm taking that literally so they'll be worth nothing as there illegal iirc.

I wouldn't bother selling them although I'd use them on my own car. I don't believe it's illegal however in the slightest.

Not sure about legality but they will be pretty hard and not be as good as they once were.. The front vx220 wheels used to get like this after being on the same tyre for 6 years..

Everything is worth selling to be honest

I got 45 quid for 4x 19 inch tyres that were on the limit as some guy just wanted anything to shot on to sell a car
