Anyone have decent 18” run flats sitting around?

Before I drop $1k+ on new run flats (OE for lease turn in) I thought I’d check here to see if anyone has some collecting dust in their garage.

225/50/18 size only please.

I have a WTB ad in the classified section but if you’re like me, you may not look at that section much.

Thanks!

Guessing you've checked FB marketplace, craigslist, etc...did you try calling used tire shops in your area? I had a buddy piece together different brands this way but as long as they meet the minimum specs you should be good with this approach.

Look on the big used tire sites and eBay.

eBay has zero results when I searched.

What are the “big used tire sites”?

Working that but I wanted to support enthusiasts first.

Check out Champtires.com

They have 5 "PIRELLI_CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON RUN FLAT_225_50_18_95_V" in stock for $55 a tire. I believe those are OEM for 330 GT's. Shipping should be free and they have promos on their site as well. Hope it helps.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the stock tire has a 99 load rating. I will watch that site though!
