Tyres - 18" staggered tyres for MV2s

[Fred Smith]

As above... I am looking to see how my E86 feels on 18s compared to the 19s it came with, and I need tyres. I think I want -

225/40/18 front
255/35/18 rear

I am open to pretty much anything legal, although if they're close to illegal they'll need to be free. Higher and mid-range definitely preferred to real cheapo; summer or all-seasons considered.

Based in SW Surrey and would prefer something close enough to collect so I can see in person.

How about these

(1) I would much rather see the tyres in person before buying.

(2) IMHO tyres are "new", "as new" (fitted but never driven) or they are "used". I regard describing used tyres as being "as new" to be a red flag. As a matter of principle I will not buy from someone who does that. Something becomes used when it is used, not when it is used for a fairly long time.

(3) As a rule I want a 30% discount from retailer price if I am going to buy something new on the second hand market, and a 50% discount if they are used. (Obviously this is just a guide and I might go up or down dependent on rarity and exact condition).

If the tyres were advertised as very lightly used, £300 (offers considered) and OP was close by where I live then I would be VERY keen to go look.
