    Hi,

    I have a set of 17" alloys with Nexen Winter Tyres on them. They were on our 2011 Cooper S during the winter but we now have bought the new model mini and it has 5 studs instead of 4. I've bought some new Winters wheels & tyres for the new car but would obviously like to sell the ones suitable for the R56 mini. The wheels are painted black and have no kerbing etc but some minor marks, no scrapes etc. The tyres have loads of tread, maybe 5 or 6 mm, they don't seem to wear quickly at all. The grip in cold weather with these tyres is fantastic compared with normal tyres.

    I'm looking for £150 which I think is reasonable. The buyer would need to pick them up though.

    Thanks

    Jim.

    They'll be too big for you John lol
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
