i have one that i would sell, but it has a small rip on the sidewall. i drove on for a few weeks before changing it and it still held tire pressure. but i dont think you would want it since its on the sidewall. good luck finding one though, i know used ones are pretty hard to find!!!

How many miles do you have on yours???

I have one brand new one sittin in my garage. Been sitting for a while but it's pretty much brand new...was mounted for a couple hundred miles I think.

I also have 4 that I'm about to pull off. The 2 in the back are pretty well shot but would work for a few auto crosses. The two in the front are a little better off but still pretty worn.

I'd sell you all 5 for less than $350.

Where's the nail? Is it not repairable?

bull crap.

I had a nail in one of mine. Patched it and it's run just fine...and I beat the living hell out of those tires. I still have one new one and 2 beat ones with a little tread on them.

yeah, the Firestone(d) guy is mistaken... unless it's in the sidewall or really nasty big hole. Is it holding air?

I usually go to Big O and have them patch my tires when I get a nail/screw/giant staple...
