WTB: 2 Pirelli OEM Scorpion 235/55R19 RFT
Nearing lease turn-in and need a few OEM Pirelli Scorpion RFTs in 235/55R19.
Anyone have a few with at least 6/32 of tread left? Thanks.
ps - Willing to pay shipping.

Where are you located? I actually have 4 virtually brand new ones, dealership put them on right before I bought my car and I swapped them out after less than a month. I'd have to double check sizes but doubt they're anything but original sizes.

Presuming this is the “verde” at least 10+ on ebay right now including a few sets, prices around $60-120 per tire. My wife has a thing for taking out R sided tires and I preferentially buy used on ebay to match the tread depth and rolling circumference for AWD cars, let alone cost saving. Set of 2 for 140 shipped at 6/32 but several individually with much better tread for $75ish. Usually they claim 1 possible patch but last 3 I have bought have been perfect evenly worn, no patch tires.

I have been exploring that option as well. Communicated with one of the vendors and most had sidewall patches and damaged beads. Makes me nervous for a RFT tire.
I agree on the pricing though. Can’t beat it. Will keep my eyes peeled there.

I get yelled at when I suggest she cuts too close on that side, but I get yelled at for driving too “aggressively” even though I haven’t hit anything in 15 years. Oh well so it goes, she has probably kept me from hitting things, and used tires are cheap.
i do agree patched runflat is tricky, if it was truly RUN FLAT any distance you’d never want it patched, if it leaked down, not run (came out and found it flat with a screw one morning) and was patched, should be better than a non runflat patched. They do disintegrate pretty quickly inside if run at highway speeds flat…
