Might be worth pointing out that these tyres fitted are non-original sizes, so are non-M sizes of 225/40r18 and 255/35r18

Too pricey or is the market flat?

Like mmm-five said those tyres aren't M sizes although 224s are M wheels, and it probably doesn't help that they are Bridgestone RFTs either!

But hopefully someone will want them.

I’m only commenting because you have asked…

I think that you are in a difficult pricing position. On the one hand you have spent £700 on tyres and want to recoup your money, on the other you are selling a set of wheels that need refurbishing with run flats on. So total cost for a mint set, with some effort from the buyer, around £1,100. Which is the same price as a mint set of 224’s on eBay that have a set of desirable, Michelins on with 7mm of tread. You may just hook the right buyer who appreciates the reassurance of run flats, and if you do then the price is reasonable, but probably on this forum you will struggle to sell and end up having to drop the price to take into account the RFT. Obviously just my opinion. Good luck with the sale.

Agree with that. I am actively looking for wheels, but I wouldn’t buy these with runflats on, they have negative value for me. You’d be better off selling the wheels and tyres separately, I suspect.
