Because I run b-stock and don't have a lot of negative camber my tires are stating to wear to the out side. If you run a lot of camber these tires could last you quite awhile. They are bridgestone RE-11 255/40/17. PM or call me if you are interested. 530 412 1018

You can always flip them on the rims when you wear them down a bit.

Can you? They're not directional, but I thought they had an inside/outside design.

You can flip most any radial.

You can run any DOT tire in Stock.

I thought about flipping them but they are definitely designed to run with out-out and in-in. I don't think it would make much difference at Stead though. I just thought that if somone was interested I would make them a great deal and move on to a new set.
They would also be great for the track since you tend to wear tires more on the inside if you run a fair amount of negative camber

I know a guy. All tires fit on all wheels, of the same given diameter. ;)

Right. These are not in the [most any radial] subset of [radials] though. ;)

Right. These are not in the [most any radial] subset of [radials] though. ;)Unless you have a specific reason why, yes they are. I have run all sorts of asymmetrical IN/OUT tires flipped for Solo and track use.

Tread is about moving water, not really about dry traction.

Unless they did something very unusual with the belts/sidewall/carcass/compound, running them flipped in the dry should be no big deal, especially when they are worn down a bit.

The smaller inner tread blocks may wear faster than the larger outer ones when out, but that is to be expected. Will they have tthe same grip as pre-flip, probably not since the loaded edge will be smother pre flip, but they may have more traction then a full tread new tire.

If the chunky tread blocks on the outside are wearing quickly, I would expect the inner tread blocks to wear even faster under the same conditions.

how cheap are you thinking? i could use those as Daily Driving tire and keep my autox tires low mileage!

I have a set of Falken Azena's 245/45/17 I will sell you for $100.00. Probably make it through the summer. If it snows you will be parked, crashed, or stuck.

$250.00 for the Bridgestones. 530 412 1018

Sounds pretty good on the Falkens , are they already unmounted from rims?
