Sold: Pair of nearly new 245/45R18 Bridgestone RE050A
 
That's it in summary, spare as a result of swapping to 20" FE wheels today.
Two nearly new Bridgestone RE050A tyres, purchased about a year ago (manufacturing date code late 2013 IIRC).
Have ONLY been used for the summer 2014 season (Apr-Nov), so maybe 3000 miles max (including the 2014 meet in Scotland).

I don't have a tread depth gauge, but at most they've worn 1mm from new in that time. No damage or repairs.
If anyone is interested I'll check the exact specification/ratings etc.

Please note that these are 100W XL rated. Cost new about £140 each (inc VAT) back in February 2014, though I think they're a bit less now (Pound vs Euro).
Date code on both is 4213 if I read the right panel.

Here's a picture (or two) showing the tread.

Thanks,
how much are you wanting for them anyway? I did actually buy two new Bridgestones from tyreleader.com last week but received an email today saying the order has been cancelled as they are out of stock :(

HPsauce 8th April 2015 10:38 AM

Not sure, PM me an offer. ;)

HPsauce 17th April 2015 08:48 PM

I've still got these if anyone is interested. Looking for £120 for the pair, collected.

Borrowed a cheap one and measured both tyres at several places. Consistently well over 6mm but just below 7mm.
Not an electronic one to give finer detail, but assume 6.5mm give or take. :cool:

Sod's law. If it weren't for the caliper expenditure and labour charges for my MOT, I'd have these. The RE050A is my favourite tyre.

HPsauce 30th April 2015 11:37 AM

I'm in no rush, they're just sitting in my garage at present. ;)

Just a reminder, these are still available.
I will be at AITP on Sunday, fairly early, so can bring them along if someone is DEFINITELY interested. I'll probably be around the AudiSRS stand to start with, ask Graham (who will be there and knows me) if you can't find me and my Irish Green Pearl S8!

I'm leaving around lunchtime and going on to help clear the house of a deceased relative and obviously don't want them taking up space in the car needlessly, so won't be bringing them "on the off chance". Please PM me if you are interested.

You really should be more careful about identifying the subject of your sentences! ;)

HPsauce 6th August 2015 02:54 PM

Indeed, the "cleaners" are going in ahead of me........ :rolleyes:

HPsauce 22nd September 2015 08:40 AM

I've still got these two near-new tyres if anyone is now interested.

Hi
Whereabouts are you?
Thanks

HPsauce 22nd September 2015 10:46 AM

South Bucks, near M25/M40 junction.

But I do have a mate who travels to/from Bristol (Bradley Stoke I think, RAC offices) regularly for work if you are interested and don't ever come this way.
