Yoko A008s

How much would 5x Yoko A008s in 195/50 be worth? I am thinking of buying some wheels and they have those tyres on. That would let me know how much to offer him.

3-4mm of tread.

A008s haven't been made in anything other than 'mini' sizes for years now, so even if they're new old stock, they could be fairly poor.
Having said all of that, they are one of my very favourite tyres of all time.

I will ask how old they are.

Can you UK guys get BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 or for all out the Kumho ecsta V710 (15"(street legal comp tire hre in the states)
Of course I like the Yoko 539s on my Mini too...

They are 3-4years old but have been looked after well and there are no signs of cracking or damage.

Check blackcircles.com and mytyres.co.uk for tyre prices. The mytyres site looks a bit pony but it is cheapest. I've used both and had no problems. No connection, just a satisfied customer!!

The point is that I would by the wheels with A008s on and then sell the tyres. I know the wheels are worth £125-175 so I was wondering what the tyres are worth to see if £200 is about right. I would then sell the tyres and get some slicks.

Would £25-£30 a tyre be reasonable. The guy selling them said £40 a tyre!
