Selling my friends tires from NorCalEvo. Daily driven, never tracked, autocrossed twice, but he's very easy on tires. Obviously they are from an evo.

Tires are pretty worn, but would make a great autox or track set. Unfortunately i could not run them on my DD much longer. All are at the wear bar and have toe/camber wear, but if you get them flipped so the camber wear is on the outside shoulders you will be fine. After taking another look at them, i would say they have a fair amount of life left for any autox'er or street tire track guy...

Thanks for looking, located in Danville, will meet buyer halfway, or buyer pays shipping

Those tires are done! The casing lines are all amost showing and in your pic one of the tires even shows the casing thread exposed.. Don't sell these tires.

How would you feel if someone bought these tires and totals his/her car going around a fast turn persay up in the hills.

As quoted from you:
"All are at the wear bar and have toe/camber wear, but if you get them flipped so the camber wear is on the outside shoulders you will be fine."

According to you this is okay? What are you smoking?!? If the camber wear is on the outside, a car's weight is on the outside on a turn .. One of these tires is gonna pop, granted if they're going slow nothing much will happen, but if they're at speed, the car and the driver would be done if they rolled down a hill.

From my buddy:

wow, i have worn tires down much further, never with any problems, have any of you? And as far as flipping them, if you dont mind running them on the inside then that is fine. These came off an evo running -3.2 degrees camber, so if I were to continue using them I would put them on the outside. But for a subie it would be fine on the inside since most cant run much negative camber. Notice the OBO... if you dont want them thats fine, someone might want the two better ones. Thank you for your opinions, but if you dont want to buy them, then please keep your thoughts to yourself. If someone is buying them for a canyon run, then they are the ones smoking ****. They would be fine for an autox event. And if nobody wants them, they will indeed go in the trash.

Thank you

P.S. I have ran the set of tires below for the past 3 autox events of 12+ runs each. And i plan on running them next event until they start losing pressure. I happen to be very watchful of tires, and dont use them anymore if they are losing pressure. The RE01-Rs are fine. (Note: the pic below is NOT of the RE01-Rs)

I don't think those would even be useable as track tires, as NASA HPDE says tread should be ABOVE the wear bars and many of those look to be at least at the bars
