For Sale 19 inch aero wheels with caps, winter tire Blizzak, around AZ

[Ashir]

Selling 19 inch original wheels with wheel caps (AGT 2022 28k miles), and winter tires (3k miles) in great condition for $2,500. No scratches, cracks, tears, or repairs and like-new tread depth. I am located in PHX, AZ but willing to deliver ~400 miles with deposit.

Wheels: 4x Lucid 19in OEM with Caps
Tires: 4x Blizzard Blizzak-WS90 Size: 245/45R19; Load Rating: 98H.

Winter tires were used for only 1 season - last winters, before moving to AZ this year. Wheels w/caps are the originals that came with the car, but I switched to aftermarket wheels with all-season tires.

I am asking $2,500 for complete set or less for just wheels or tires. Delivery upto $300.
I will also throw in free OEM Snow Socks and OEM 1 set of cabin All-Weather Mats. Full winter preparation.

Any chance you'd consider shipping to MA?

I have received many requests, even on Reddit. The shipping cost is too much to make it worth your money. So, unless you are okay paying $600 just for shipping it won't make sense.

Also, I noticed a typo in my original post. I mean delivery upto 300 miles radius. Which I can increase to 500 miles.

I'm about to drive down to Sun City, AZ in November and would be able to pick these up in person with cash! BUT 1st question. how have you stored them since getting to AZ? Where have they been this summer with all the 100+ degree days? If these have been baking in an attic or garage without AC (or worse, outside), then YIKES!

Ok great, feel free to ping me when you are here and if this post is still up. These have been inside my apartment since I moved to AZ as we do not have a garage or attic here.

Why should that matter? You do know that tires ON the actual cars are outside or in uncooled garages all summer in 100°+ temps all the time right?

Well since you asked, I'm happy to explain.

While absolutely true tires sit on cars and in garages and outside all the time, it's also true that in several parts of AZ (Phoenix area especially where summers are months of over 100+ degree days with maybe 4% humidity), tires dry rot out and don't last as long as most of the rest of the USA. Typical tires age out (not from mileage) in Phoenix area within 2 or 3 years at most. Now when you add the element of snow tires, which isn't normally ever used (or exposed) to summer temps, much less 100+ temps, they are softer and more pliable to begin with (so they stay softer in 0 degree and colder temps) but expose them to garage or outside dry hot air (or worse direct sunlight) and they age out even faster! I have a car that's been sitting in a garage in AZ for years and the tires on them still show plenty of tread but are rock hard (almost explaining the petrified forest so-to-speak) and anyone who lives year round in Phoenix area, can attest to hardened to plastic rubber hoses, trim, etc. The tires have this same thing happen so the concept of keeping tires 10 years in Phoenix is foreign unless you want a blowout and other potentially unpleasant outcomes. Meanwhile, here in Chicago, we have a car with 10 year old tires that have been on the car in the garage and amazingly enough, they aren't dry rotted or hard as a rock. Not ideal of course but not even remotely safe in Phoenix.

For anyone considering the set, the low mileage on both the wheels and Blizzak WS90 tires is useful information. I would still check the tire date codes, tread measurements, and wheel fitment before purchasing. Since the set includes caps, snow socks, and all-weather mats, confirming exactly what is included could prevent confusion during the sale.
