I have a set of Pirelli Winter 190 Snowcontrol winter tires in need of a new home.

These were purchased from Smart Center Portland for $396 (before installation) and have 3283 miles on them. No wheels, no sensors, just the tires.

$250, local pickup. Please send a PM if interested.

John, I'm guessing you are crossing the Rockies for sure.

But since you won't have snow tires... will that move happen BEFORE the snow flies or AFTER it melts?

I'm hoping to be out of Oregon within the month.

John_H did you sell your smart?????????????????????????

The smart and I are headed to warmer climes, hence the need to sell the cold-climate tires. The rubber compound is much better below 45ºF. I don't know if I'll see 45ºF in the next year.

Even if I had financial issues that might make me want to sell the smart, I customized it enough up front that I'm sure I'm still upside down on the loan. I hope to be with this car a very long time.

I just wanted to make sure I understood. I wasn't sure if this was another one of them people leaving things.

John - I might be interested in the tires - I am a newcomer to the smart group therefore I cannot send you a PM. Please send me a PM about the tires. They would have to be UPS'd to me through, I am in PA.

I'd prefer to hold off on trying to ship tires. I think I've seen people ship them by wrapping the label around a few inches of the tire circumference, but it's a little messy.

If I don't find anyone interested locally, I'll consider shipping; that decision is at least 2 weeks away. Keep a lookout.
