Re. OEM standard fit tyres - Hankook K415 (H rated) 175/60/14
Those of you who have been here a while will know I have Goodyear "All Season" tyres fitted to my i10 Auto. I fitted them immediately after taking delivery of my new car therefore the standard fit tyres have covered the grand total of 30 miles from new and have been stored (in the dark) since I swapped them a little over a year ago.
As it's an automatic the tyre size is 175/60/14 (as opposed to 165/60/14 on the manual (and they're H rated, rather than the T rating on the manual). I'll probably ask around and/or advertise them locally and/or use Ebay to sell them unless anyone on this site wants them. I'll sell all four (no splitting) for £125 including courier delivery (with CityLink's Next Day Parcel service) but I have never sent tyres before. When I bought the All Season's by post they came two at a time....two tyres wrapped together with cling film, but I'd like advice from anyone who has sent tyres regarding the best way to secure them together and affixing the label so it doesn't come adrift. They are a funny shape and the label isn't as easy to secure as a box! Maybe duck tape (duct? tape) or parcel tape?
The cost of sending the two parcels varies a bit but is around £25 for the four. tyres....the tyres at 6kg each and 55cm by 55cm equal 2 parcels each weighing 12 kg each and measuring 55cmx55cmx38cm each.
Anyone ever done that before?
I see that MyTyres sell the same tyres at £216 for 4, delivered, so it seems fair that I'd sell mine for £125 delivered...
Thanks in anticipation.
(PS. Anyone actually interested, please PM me. I'm in the West Country if anyone is local and, of course, no delivery charges.....but please, no offers - I'll sell them but as they have only done 30 miles, I'm not giving them away).
