Free to A Good (or Bad) Home: 2x 195/70-14 Michelin Harmony Tires (Atlanta Area) - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

WHAT:

Two (2) 195/70-14 Michelin Harmony tires.

CONDITION:

The tires have a build date of 07/05, have about half the tread left, and have some mild weather-checking on the sidewalls and in the tread area. The wear is pretty even. They're free and have no known damage, so don't look a gift tire in the tread!

WHY:

I dislike having mismatched tires. These two are the remainder of the set that came with the car when I bought it in late '06. Counting a blowout I had last Friday, this would make the third time I've had to replace one of the tires due to road damage (yes, 2+2=5 or 2+3=4 when it happened twice to the same tire/wheel). I don't want to have a set that's comprised of two 50% tires, one 80% tire, and one new tire, so I'm going to buy an entire set of different tires (no, not Michelin Harmony). The 80% Harmony will now be the spare, so that one isn't available.

CAVEATS:

I'm in the Atlanta area and will not ship them -- you must pick them up from me in Alpharetta (where I live) or Marietta (where I work). If no one has positively responded that they want them by midnight of this Wednesday, the 15th, I'll be leaving them at the tire shop on Friday; if claimed, they must be picked up from me in the next couple of weeks or they'll be discarded at the Bulky Trash Amnesty Day event in early November.

Thanks,
Shawn
