HOLLY ****!

That is how much the tires cost alone!

Lol I was thinking the same thing. That is a smoking deal!

If it sounds too good to be true .....................

The picture doesn't show the tires on the rims.

Maybe they were a customer return so are not new?

Or the tires are really old stock and have a date code such as 2006?

Took a trip to Toronto with my buddy. He picked up the E83 Double spoke 205 18" rims with pirelli scorpions str for $800.00. It came out to total of $904 with tax. Everything was new. Tires have nibs, rims were perfect with no scratches. Two of the tires were manufactured in mid 2007, the other two late 2011. Assuming the 6 year life of a tire, two should be replaced this year and the other two are good till 2017. I think the pics are what ever they grabbed from online brochures.

We mounted the old tires on the back of his X3 and the new on the front. Figuring that the rears would wear down faster. He's planning on replacing the older two tires in this fall. Knowing him it will be next fall He's real happy, they look really nice on his x3.

There was another guy picking up a really nice set of rims and tires for his 3 series. His tires were manufactured late 2009. He stated his car was modded and expects the rears to be bald before they hit the 6 year mark.

I asked the parts guy if this was a yearly thing and he said it was a one off. He said there are three dealerships owned by the same guy and this is all the odds and ends that have acumulated. Some were mounted on cars in the show rooms, some were on display, some were just on the shelf. They let you check them out before you buy them.

That was a great deal then.

I think the aging of tires can be a bit overplayed - if those have been kept indoors it might be 2016 before they show any signs of needing replacement.
