(Tread depth of ~6 out of 11/32" when new)

This has been a fantastic winter/snow tire for me. Superb in both wet and dry conditions (as classic of Vancouver weather), and it does pretty good in the snow. Ice traction isn't as good as Blizzaks, but I haven't gotten stuck yet. It's a very drivable (predictable) tire in all driving conditions. Hydroplaning is minor at high speeds (w/ large standing puddles), but otherwise you don't even notice it's wet. It does squeal a bit in an undercover parking lot with smooth concrete, but that seems to happen with most winter tires I've had.

It came off a Mazda Protege but is a fairly popular size in the remaining 15" cars on the road including Acura Integras, (older) Honda Civics, Hyundai Elantras, Mazda Miatas, Mazda Proteges, Subaru Imprezzas, Toyota MR2s, and (older) VW Golfs/Jettas/Passats).

If I recall correctly, there should be no plugs or patches in any of the tires. But if not, there should be at most 1. There is no noticeable camber wear.

For comparison, the current price for this tire new is $169.04 at TireDirect.ca https://www.tiredirect.ca/product.as...ribute=0343624. For a set, it will be $676.16 before taxes and levy.

PM an offer if interested. Any reasonable offer is accepted (or if there are no other offers then any unreasonable one will be accepted as well). Just make sure to state the offer so I can prioritize getting back to you (e.g. higher price first, then in chronological order).
