Stock tire sizes and the future of Festiva rubber...

[jglutz]

I stocked up. I now have two dozen new tires, 12s and 13s.

Wow.....more symptons of being a festiva-holic

[gothguydante]

yeah i'm just going to borrow my tires from freshtiva..... i just got 4 brand new 155/80/R13 for $25 for all... i got them in a junk yard they told me they came in the back of an aspire still had the stickers on and everything...

^^^^^ That's the size I run on mine and the daughter's. Paid around that much per each from Sears. Cash and carry. Good find.

I am sure I'm late to the show here, but I just spent a week working for Tires Plus and asked about tires for Bruce. They can get them for 23 bucks, but that is there cost, I did not ask how much retail was, but i think I could talk one of the sales guys into giving some out a 20% above, but who knows.

You're still looking at symptons ? I figured the diagnosis was clear, its the prognosis that worries me.
Called on these today. The owner said he was going to hold them until I look at them. Hopefully tomorrow. He said his duaghter has a third one and they might want some parts from the grey one so he has to talk to her first. He wants them out of the yard. His project is a 57 Chevy.

Obviously theres no cure for Festivaitis. And the only way to keep the symptoms from flaring up is to buy a Festiva or 10.:razz:

Youve probably got the parts lying around to get that Red 1 back into 1 piece ,don't you? And even with the crumpled door there looks to be enough salvageable pieces to make the black(?) 1 worth it as well. As usual good luck!

Yeah Ive got a doner red festiva that just needs a head, which I just recently bought, so Ill have to evaluate the situation. The cars have no titles but that can be fixed. I think the black one is shot, he said he took a telephone pole out with it. But drove it off and bought it from the insurance co. He might want the motor and tranny from it for his daughters festiva. I have a black festiva the same year that could use some things. Just have to see what there. I know the red bumpers would look good on Redford if nothing else.

The "perfect" budget performance all-season, the Falken Ziex in 175/60-13 has been out of production now for a while.

Umm There is Nexen N2000 in that size & Kumho ECSTA V700 if you wanted a race tire in 13"

[Omgloltokyodrift]

What is considered a reasonable price for 155/80/12's?

Say you could get them 24/7 online. What would one pay for them?

[FB71]

around $30 each

[freshtiva]

They were about $25 each when you could get them 24/7.

[Omgloltokyodrift]

Well, what if they can be had again (online) 24/7?

Would $30 to $35 be a reasonable price per tire, being available all the time? Would there be people interested in these tires for that price?

[FB71]

so why do you ask?

[Omgloltokyodrift]

I was just seeing if there is an interest for an online tire shop, one that will always have 155/80/12 tires in stock.

But I'm not sure there's a big enough market. We'll see...
