Valuating snow tires outside the Snow Belt
« on: February 20, 2017, 01:59:14 pm »
For a couple seasons now, I've been trying to offload the winter set from the Mazda3 with no luck. A set of 16" Dunlops and 4 aluminium wheels that I used for the 1 winter I had the Mazda.

If I lived in QC, this would be no issue........but being in the Mid-Atlantic/southern US, I've literally had no bites until now. Someone's offering 350$ for them; original new cost was 990$ (all USD). It's a painful lesson, but I think I have to take the loss.  :surrend:

Anyone think I should still hold out?

Does it make it less painful for us to decide?  :)     Of course take the cash now.  My local Walmart stocks Dunlops snows.  What's that tell you.  :D

Take the money and run!  I wouldn't pay any more than that for them anyway, and I am in the snow belt.
