Just picked up 315/30zr19 Cup 2's for $200 each shipped

[ANGREY]

They're going fast on Ebay. Not sure how many are left.

I get the feeling these are going to be discontinued or Michelin is coming out with a next gen or something.

FYI.

That's a good deal for that tire with free shipping. 6 remaining. Did you buy 2 tires? I noticed the listing said '2 Sold'.

They are 4 years old so that may be the reason for being cheap. Unless you are planning on tracking them and wearing them out in the next year I would pass

As long as they’re stored out of direct sunlight, tires will last a VERY long time. Once mounted and subject to load and heat cycle and sunlight and 2 atmospheres of pressure, that’s when they begin to degrade. Manufacturers over the years placed life cycles to avoid law suits (and increase sales) but the reality is as Kong as the tire isn’t exposed to ozone or UV and never mounted and used, it’ll perform near the day it was manufactured for a VERY long time.


How to Make Your Tires Last Much Longer than You Think – News – Car and Driver

“Woody Rodgers, a tire product information specialist, has been with Tire Rack for 16 years, and he says that given proper storage and care, tires can last you up to a decade. “I won’t say a tire has the shelf life of gravel,” Rodgers said, “but it’s close to that.”

When properly stored in a climate-controlled warehouse, tires have an almost unlimited shelf life, and once they’re on the road, proper care can add many years to a tire’s life. “In general, we see six years of service with no more than 10 years of total life since manufacture.””

Furthermore

“And what about storage? Rodgers says that for most street tires, it doesn’t matter whether they’re stacked on the sidewall or stood up on their tread, mounted or unmounted. As long as your tires are out of sunlight, in a low-ozone environment, and in an area with a stable temperature, you’re good to go.”

What state are you located in Angrey? I tried to private message you but I’m not sure if it went through. The reason I was asking is I was wondering if you were running a square 315/30ZR19 figment or would you want to trade two 315/30ZR19 you bought for two 305/30ZR19 to run staggered fitment? 305 in front and 315 in rear. If you were close to S.C. and interested private message me.
