Great C-List deal! I assume you bought them?

I run 16-inch rims in the winter but I was unhappy with the size of the Gislaveds which came on the rims. P205/50R16 I think the previous owner drove an OG9-3. She had the wheels stored at a tire shop which was looking to free up some shelf space. The wheel owner wanted $400, I offered $300, and since I was the only interested customer in nearly a year the store owner encouraged the seller to accept my offer.

The remaining Gislaveds are worn out after this winter, and even though the X-Ice 2 tires which replaced two of the Gislaveds after the blow-out (I wanted matched pairs per axle) are only 1-1/2 seasons old, I will buy a full set of four snow tires.

The Gislaveds wore like iron, three seasons from a set of used snows, and gripped well so I am hoping to find an end of season sale for some Nord frost 5's. This time I intend to buy P205/60R16 for some added sidewall height.
