Metric Tyres/Wheel

[ImysE30]

Are they worth anything? I've got a E28 M535i alloy with a brand new Michelin TRX tyre on it. Scrap value?

[Rav335uk]

Might be worth some money to someone getting a car back to OEM

[ImysE30]

Worth putting on eBay then? Aren't the tyres something like £150?

[pacerpete]

Ebay is your freind !

[Rav335uk]

New per corner yes.
But how old are the tyres?

[ImysE30]

Only been on the car, never driven on. 3 years old but kept inside.

When / if you put it on Ebay, be sure to decipher to date of manufacture on the sidewall and post a pic. Very few of the 'minters' that turn up are less than twenty years old !

Thanks for the tip Pete

Where would the manufacture date be?

Here's the wheel/tyre:

On the sidewall, there should be an oval/rectangle with curved ends (think of a kinder egg toy shell) with 4 numbers in it. Depending on what decade it was made will determine how they're arranged etc. There may be only 3 numbers or a triangle in there as well.

I'll have a look in the morning

The bit on the right is what you're looking for. That tyre was made on the 9th week of 2007
