Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found a set of tires for my car. I�m getting ready to send payment but before I do I want to be sure they will fit. Reassured by those who know better than me. Here are some images with front and rear tires. If I need to tell you the offsets I will find out that information. Im not sure the images are clear enough so tire sizes are as follows- 225/40R19 305/30/R19

POST 2Original post

Those tires seem to be a few different kinds...mixed treads? The rears don't have much left....be aware of the DOT dates. What car are you fitting them on?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is what the seller has told me- They are Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-04. Fronts are 245/35/19 and rears are 305/30/19. When I bought the car they were advertised as being installed in last 2k miles & 2016 DOT codes(prior owner drove the car about 800 miles only over 2 years). I added about 50 miles before swapping wheels.

POST 4Original post

Buy new tires and never look back. When they tell you that they have 2K miles on them, that means 6K miles. Unless you are buying a wheel/tire combo.....you still are going to pay $125 - $200 to have them mounted and balanced, go with brand new and put a smile on your face. You really aren't saving anything in the long run. I just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's on my car.....OMG, what a transformation of the cars handling with no sacrifice in ride quality!

POST 5Original post

Those look to be 997 turbo wheels. If that�s the case, they will have wide body offsets. Hopefully you�re putting them on a 996 C4S or TT.

The tire with the sidewall visible in the lower photo above has a manufacture date of week #2 of 2016. So that matches with what the seller claims.

POST 8Original post

Hi guys, I�m the seller... The tires and wheels are what I�ve claimed. The car had 88k miles when sold to the prior owner in early 2015. He replaced them at some point in 2016 and I bought the car with 91,250 miles on it about a month ago. Drive it 50 miles straight to mechanics shop and rims and tires came off immediately. I have a 996tt, these are stock 997tt wheels and I need to run 315/25 tears so I couldn�t use the tires even as they are not correct circumference front to rear ratio wise for me. Wheels are OEM 997tt wheels: 19x11 et51 in the rear. They will stick out 29mm further in the rear. Will it fit? I don�t know, probably not on a lowered car. But clearly someone has fit them before as shown in the pictures Brian posted. I�m honest seller (check my posts and stuff I�ve sold on the forums); I didn�t list these but replied to a WTB thread Brian started stating he wanted 997TT wheels as seen in various pictures.

Buy new. Tires are your one contact to the road.

I love guys that come here and tell others how to spend their money. Somehow three year-old tires with very few miles on them are no good?
