Hi all,

Event Tyres are coming to fit my new non-RFT's tomorrow.

I'm selling the fronts only. They are still in great condition with 6mm tread in the centre on one, and 5.7mm in the centre on the other with & plenty of life left in.

Pictures to follow with depth gauge readings (will be easier when they're off the car), but PM me if interested. Collection preferred - either Surrey KT8 (home) or Newbury, Berks RG14.

225 / 35 / R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's.

£120 for the pair.

Hi Davy,

Rather than give you a subjective description, I'll post up some pics tomorrow for you once they're off the car - I'll do some depth-gauge measurements towards the outsides too & post these up too for full transparency for the buyer.

Only reason for selling is that the back tyres are finished & had to make the choice between buying 2 more Bridgestone RFT's for the rears, or making the jump to 4 non-RFT's.

No puncture repairs since I've had the car (5 months) but I'll check for this once the tyres are off too & update if needed.

Hi,

if the edge is good on them I will take them off you, I don't live too far so could meet some place if that is ok with you?

Hi Czech,

Sounds good - I'll drop you a PM with contact details once pics are up.

All,

Tyre fitter checked today and said the edges on the front didn't have much life left in them, so I've scrapped them - just wanted to let you know.

Cheers for the interest everyone.

Makes the ouch for the new tyres even louder...

Doesn't the Bridgestones come with a slightly rounded profile from new, so I would never expect them to have the same thread depth on the shoulders. I find it a bit odd that you can have 6mm in the middle and edges worn so much that they need to be scrapped? Did you take any pics of the thread?

I got a set of fronts that has >5mm left in the middle and the shoulders still have thread pattern left.

Knackered where?

Have a look a the profile of a new tyre?

These tyres have very rounded shoulders.
