FS: 16" Dunlop Run-flat Winter Sport Snow Tires

pdxlager · 12-18-2008, 04:45 AM

Hello, I'm an idiot. I purchased a set of winter tires on Craigslist today and they don't fit.

I have a 2004 330xi with 17" wheels and I did a bit of research and thought I could put 16" wheels on them (and isn't it sometimes recommended to go down a size for winter tires?) Apparently I didn't do enough research, because my brakes are too big for these tires, they don't fit

They are Dunlop Run-flat Winter Sport Snow tires, 205/55/R16 mounted on 16" BMW light-alloy wheels (styling 156). I understand these wheels are OEM for 2006 325i/325xi. The wheels (and tires) were purchased new from Rasmussen BMW in Portland, OR for just over $2,000 in December 2007. Selling now for $899.

These are run-flat tires with TPMS sensors, 91H rated.

I was so excited to install these tires before the next storm hit, and I'm crushed they didn't work out (and feeling a bit sheepish for not doing my homework before hand.)

Please let me know if you're interested.

I forgot to mention, these are the SP Winter Sport M3 DSST tires. ($246 each at tirerack.com)

I'm in PDX and am looking for winter tires to mount on my 156's. Are you interested in cash and a swap. I know you don't need the wheels but you could sell them. The rear tires have some miles left on them but I wouldn't bother with the fronts. I don't want to bother buying your set and selling my wheels (sorry). It would be easier to just get new tires from Tire Rack for my existing wheels (also I'd have a choice of tires). I have a set of 161s for the summer so I don't need an extra set. I'm ready to do the deal immediately.

What kind of miles on them?
