I have the Goodyear runflats on the rear of my 2000 Corvette--and although they only have about 13,000 miles on them, the tread is sufficiently worn that snow traction is a problem. I'm not even close to the treadwear indicators, and if this was March, I would just plan on not driving for a few weeks. But winter hasn't even arrived yet, and I am having just a bit too adrenalin rush from driving around town.
I'm very impressed with the Michelin Pilot A/S runflats that I have on the front, and I am thinking of ordering some for the rear. I just hate the thought of throwing away these Goodyears, however, since even at TireRack.com, they cost $376 each--and there's probably 5000-7000 miles left on these tires.
Two possibilities:
- Take the tires home, and put them in my garage. When the new tires wear out in a couple of years (assuming that it is spring), I put the Goodyears back on.
- Someone who lives in a warmer climate wants to buy these Goodyears from me. I'm not sure what the shipping charges are likely to be, but if I could get even a tire (plus shipping charges) for them, I would be a happy person, and you would be getting a bargain.
