Go to Kumho tires only if you really need a set bad. They do free mount/balance with the purchase.

521 W. San Carlos Street
San Jose, CA 95126

(408) 998-4267

Go to this place only if our fellow i-club members don't have an extra set of tires laying around. Good Luck

can't you buy the same tire and simply have it shaved to match the others?

I have a set. They are mounted on a set of wheels though. If you are willing pay for unmounting them, I can sell them to you. Once I get home I can grab my tread gauge and take some pics for you.

They are Fullrun tires. I 99% sure they are 225/40/18. I am at the dealership for service right now once I get home I'll go look and make sure.

It might be a good idea to call up your preffered tire shop and see if they do shaving. Some places do it and some don't. I think it also depends on how much they have to shave off too.

Ok so I just looked at them, the tires I have are Fullrun HP199 225/40/18. All of them have about 8/32 worth of tread on them and they have a tiny bit of corner wear.

I took some pictures...





Tire one.

Tire two.

Tire three.

Tire four.


There is some damage on two of them.

There is a little slice on one.



And a chunk taken out of another one.


All four are currently mounted and they all hold air.

If you want them, they are yours for $300 + dismount.
