Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 winter tires on 17x7.5" alloys

Used winters for three seasons, 2011, '12 and '13 on my 2011 Maxima for approx 22,000 miles. Approx 60% tread remaining. Tires are 215/55R/17. Wheels are rebranded Sport Edition SE-16 Titanium-Gunmetal 20.3 lb. 17x7.5 cast alloys as shown on Tire Rack here:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...tal&tab=wheels

Wheels center caps have Drag logo (prior branding) and are in good condition with no curb rash. SE-16 wheels are $122 each today. Michelin PA-3 Pilot Alpins are no longer available in this size, but Michelin Primacy Pilot PA3s (successor tire) are $684 for a set of four from Tire Rack. Total cost if new $1,172 plus tax/shipping. I am asking $400 for the package. Buyer responsible for pickup or shipping. This is a great winter tire combo with the snowflake that doesn't sacrifice dry performance.

Shipping

Sorry, but I have no clue. I am just a guy who owns a Maxima and works for a local not for profit here in Indy. We never even ship overnight envelopes! I have no idea what shipping would be for four tires and 20 pound wheels. I could go by a local Fed Ex store and ask tomorrow if you would like, or you could. I assume that they would put them in four large boxes to send them to you? I am brand new at this, and not in the wheel/tire or car parts business.

Wow. If these fit under my brakes I would take them but I doubt they will. Good luck with the sale. They should sell fast!!

Price Cut

I've only had one person interested so far; offered him a pretty good cash discount off the $400 asking price to help with his shipping but never heard back. I'm probably going to post on EBay this weekend and expand my market reach. I think my window for selling winter tires has about 2 or 3 weeks left!

I tried that web site but I don't know with any certainty what a wheel and tire weighs. I am guessing around 50 lbs? The alloy wheel according is likely around 22 or 23, the tire probably less. I plugged 50 in and the cheapest was just under $30 from 46123. Then we have the price of a box, which I guess I buy at Office Max. Maybe $10 for a big box? So, best guess would be $40 x 4 or $160, does that sound about right? Or, if it helps, I'll cover half of the cost of getting all four of them to you. I've been traveling a lot recently and haven't posted them for sale anywhere else.

Thanks

I'm in no big hurry...supposed to be a nasty winter. I still have them in my garage and haven't posted the alloys/Michelins yet on ebay since their fees are pretty steep...I'd rather use those funds to help you out on the shipping costs!

Hey
Sent you a PM, I don't know if you can get it or not because I had to change my settings. I just was wondering if you have a pic of them on the car?

Do you have an e-mail or text number we can communicate on to expedite things? I am pretty interested.
