5 Avon CR500 tires for sale

[Caterman7]

Selling 5 Avon CR500 195-45-15 tires with 500+- street miles on them. Tires are like new with minimal tread wear and the spare never on the ground. Tires in central CT but I can ship. Cost will depend destination. I honestly don't know what they're worth so PM me an offer and get them out of my garage. The tires came on the car I bought a couple of months ago but I wanted something a little bigger and just had the new ones mounted today.

can you check the date of the tires? The following is a writeup I found on the internet:

 

DETERMINING TIRE DATE CODES

 

How old are the tires on your vehicle? The date of manufacture is indicated by the last group of digits in the DOT manufacture code on the sidewall of the tire. The number is often stamped in a recessed rectangle. The DOT code tells who manufactured the tire, where it was made and when. The last group of digits in the code is the date code that tells when the tire was made.

 

Before 2000, the date code had three digits. Since 2000, it has had four. The first two digits are the week of the year (01 = the first week of January). The third digit (for tires made before 2000) is the year (1 = 1991). For most tires made after 2000, the third and fourth digits are the year (04 = 2004).

 

In the photo above, the date code is 8PY806. The 8PY is a manufacturing shift code, and the date the tire was actually made was 0806, which is the 8th week (08)in the year 2006 (06).

 

The date of manufacture is essential information for car owners and tire buyers because tires deteriorate even if they are not used. European automobile manufacturers recommend replacing ANY tire that is more than six (6) years old, including the spare tire. No such recommendations have yet been made by domestic vehicle manufacturers.

I'll check the mfg date as soon as I'm back home on Tues.

Sean. I sent you a PM.

The date code on the tires is 2203 giving them a 2003 mfg date. Would someone give me an idea what these tires are realistically worth. I've had offers and while I don't mind giving a bloke a deal I don't want to get hosed either. Thanks. Oh yeah - how about the correct tire pressure for street driving with 205-50-15 Yoko A048. Thanks again.

Caterham recommends 16 to 18 psi.

You may want to keep the CR500 if you are going to use the 048 on the street. The 048has a treadwear of 60. You may get 5,000 to 6,000 street miles if you don't go to the track. The 048 is heavy in comparison to the CR500. By the way, the CR500 has a treadwear of 20.
