A pair of almost new (about 500 miles)Dunlop Sportmaxx 255/35/ZR 20.
Between 7-8 MM of tread all over. Date stamp 3516.
Must be worth something.
-
Be worth a lot more if there was 4 of them. ;)

Probably about twice as much. :) ;)

Would the fit Mr admins jaaaag.
-
I would hazard a guess at just over half the price of a new pair ? :-\

Roughly about £170 each when fitted by the 'professionals' at Kwik Fit. :)

Not many cars will take that size on all 4 wheels ;)

Nope...

6mm is probably about half worn, so 7mm isn't far off half worn ;)

How much do they come with when new?
I thought about 8mm.

Half of nine is four and a half not six.......even if you can't use the last 2mm :P :P :P :P

Surprised they don't fit the front.

New tyres have 8mm of tread and if you take away the legal minimum tread of 1.6mm that gives you a legal usable tread depth of 6.4mm which means a half worn tyre will technically have 4.8mm of tread. ;)

These tyres have (using a digital gauge) approx 7.3-7.8MM. :y
They are clearly not very good at Maths in Brackley. ::)

You know very well...they are worth what someone will give you.

Pop the size into ebay search box and see what comes back ;)

Most tyres start with 9mm. The SportMaxx tyres fall off a cliff at about 3.5mm, so that makes useable life of 5.5mm, so as you can see, straight maths gives 6.25mm. However, due to reasons I can never grasp, once wear sets in, it accelerates - in same way if you have a suspension fault that causes uneven wear, even once fixed, the wear is more excessive on the worn patch.
This is why I always say that 5mm part worns are not financially effective, especially when most places want £15 to fit one.

Pretty certain the fronts are 245. Due to fact its pissing down with hail, I CBA to check ;D

Disagree. Most new tyres have 8mm of tread. ::)
I will agree however that different tyres lose their grip at different rates so performance wise some tyres will be shagged before others, which is why I said a half worn tyre will technically have 4.8mm of tread! ;)
But this explains a lot TB! Over the years you've often complained about crap tyres, but now its clear that your tyres have a lot less tread on them than you think there is! ;D

In that case my tyres are 'almost' as new. I reckon £150 for the pair. :y
