They haven't seen any track days :) hardly even been driven on.. I sold the wheels i was using these for so no longer need them, i would keep them for my track car te37's but that build is not likely to be finished until end of the year now so I'd rather sell and use the cash now.

Pics attached... like i said they are practically new, still have the little rubber things on them :laugh: Price is firm at $1700.

there's a date on them?? where abouts? i'll have to check next time i get a chance to go down to the shop

they are not at all hard if that's what you want to know - still nice and soft/sticky

How does the date (of manufacture I suppose) affect the useability of the tyres? Do the tyres go off?

I am thinking of using semi tyres for my daily. Is that a good idea? especially taking into account my car only gets driven once a week maybe.

BTW, good price, as I got quoted $540 per tyre from Traction tyres.

Matt,

I would personally not use semi comps for a street/daily driven car. They're noisy, pick up all loose stones and blasts them into your inner guards, annoying to say the least. Also you won't get the mileage out of them compared to a competent street tyre. I'd say go for some RE11's or AD08's, reasonable grip and very quiet...

Sorry for the hijack, good luck with the sale....

If any tyre is left exposed to the weather over time they can harden and will no longer be safely usable. With semi's, you lose the benefit of the high grip levels. I will check the date when I get a chance to go to the workshop next week, but I know they are still good :) so i don't mind either way, if they don't sell I will be keeping them to use myself.

Matt - they wouldn't last long if you do a lot of street driving on them, but if you want plenty grip and only drive it one or 2 days a week then could be an option. Of course you have to accept the tyre noise and stones flicking up, tram lining etc.

I'm driving my daily around on RE55's but that's because i'm too lazy to change wheels before and after a track day and i don't drive much at all anyway, only on weekends mainly.

ok so I checked the date and they are manufactures in week 50 (December) 2008. If anyone's interested in them drop me an email... no rush to sell, i'll just use them myself if i don't get a reasonable price for them.
