    ***SOLD***

    I have 3 used Nokian i3 tires (185/65/15) to give away. I lost one due to a nail and I ended up replacing all of the tires to try something new. They are great tires with approx. 50% tread left on one tire and the other 2 are at about 75% tread.

    Nokian i3

    Great looking and performing LRR tires. The only reason I am giving them away is because by the time my current tires wear out the Nokians will be too old to install. I originally purchased them in late 2008.

    LOCAL DEAL ONLY! I am not interested in shipping them.

    I assume those are for your 17 inch rims.

    Heck, too bad I'm nowhere close. I'd take those 3 Nokians and my 4 Yokohamas and do a 6 tire summer/winter/summer/winter rotation.

    Save gas mileage in the summer with the LRR on the front and make my existing 4 tires last longer. The 3rd LRR tire could be rotated in on alternate summers or just be held as a spare tire in case of tire damage.

    And considering the winters are mild here it wouldn't be to hard to just make it a every 10,000 mile rotation and not worry about the seasons.

    Summer1 or first 10,000 miles
    N1 and N2 on Front
    Y1 and Y2 on Back

    Winter1 or second 10,000 miles
    Y1 and Y2 on Front
    Y3 and Y4 on Back

    Summer2 or third 10,000 miles
    N1 and N2 on Front
    Y3 and Y4 on Back

    Winter 2 or fourth 10,000 miles.
    Y3 and Y4 on Front
    Y1 and Y2 on Back

    I can't imagine it'd be hard to find a home for them. Put them on freecycle or craiglist them for $10 each. I'm sure they'd go quick if someone in your town realized what a deal they are.

    Will these fit a 2010 Prius? I live in San Jose and will be making a trip to Sac Town in a week or so to visit family.

    Hi F8L -

    If you still have those 3 used Nokian's available, I live near enough to come get them (Roseville).

    My 2007 Prius' OEM's are more worn on 2 of the 4 right now anyway so I could really use them to get me down the road and postpone the expense of buying new tires until after Christmas (presents for 3 kids).

    You can send me a message to let me know when and where if you still have them.

    Thanks,

    -David
