WTB or WTS feeler: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 Tires

Hi all.

I just want to put this feeler out there.

On my way up to Hammy, I blew a tire. It was leaking air out of the sidewall. I am kind of in a dilemma. To get a new tire is $132 + whatever other costs. I have the Goodyear Eagles in 215/45/17. I either need to get another one with more than 75% tread left, or...

Sell the remaining good tires and buy a new set of tires. Choices, choices... I figure I could see the remaining 3 tires for something and use that money toward another set.

Just putting this feeler out, or if any of you guys know where I can find one less than $132 in size (215/45/17), let me know.

TIA.

Wont it be less complicated to buy one new tire for 132? Rather than selling the remaining 3 for less and coughing up more cash for a set of 4?

G'luck anyway you choose to go.

Yeah. I dunno. I bought wheels/tires all together with 85% tread for $200. Haha. The thing is that $132+mounting and balancing+tire shaving. Not sure how much that is going to run, but I could be half way to a new set of RE-01R's for about the same.

You got a deal on them to begin with! Well that makes sense, have you tried craigslist for that tire. Sometimes they have some used tire shops with some good selections.

Yeah. I got a great deal on them. I really just wanted the wheels, but the tires did help. I'll definitely look into that.
