Yes, I want this in off-topic. I already have them for sale in New England (with the wrong size in the headline, can't edit) and these don't fit a 3-series.

I'm trying to help a friend get rid of a set of snows from her 5 series. They are Dunlop Winter Sport 3Ds, 225-50-17. She said she only put 8000 miles on them but they measure somewhat worn, 7/32-6/32-6/32-5/32 out of a new spec 11/32 (per tire rack for current model). The other thing is even though she got them like 3 years ago (I think), the tread pattern looks much different than the 3Ds I had for my Mazda6 (205-50/17) and now on my 328 (225-45/17). So I don't know if the dealer unloaded an old set on her, or if the 98 load rating is a different style?

Anyway, these go for $177 new each at the tire rack, what do you think would be a fair price for the set of 4, local pickup? (I'm guessing it's not worth shipping)

$100 for the set. Maybe.

8,000 miles of spirited driving on warm dry pavement maybe... From the looks of it those are nearly shot.

I wouldn't pay more than $40/ea for them. They have maaaaybe a season left on them at a maximum... but coupled with the fact that whoever buys them has to pay to have them mounted, they might not even be worth the $40 to the new buyer.

Shipping is completely moot on something like that IMO.

You would be luck to get $100 for the set. Those are bald winter tires.

This. You're down to the wear bars in that one shot, and on winters I don't even bother to get that close before replacing. I wouldn't bother with those.

uh...i woudn't even consider buying 5/32s tires.

Thanks, guys. That's what I suspected (they're near worthless) but having some independent corroboration will make it easier to explain to my friend.
