7.50x16 Michelin XS, brand new
I've got a brand new Michelin tyre here, the sand type, XS, 7.50x16, mounted on a landrover plain steel rim.
the rim is fairly rusty looking (I might even strip the tyre off of the rim, i've got another slightly better looking one) but the tyre has never touched tarmac, still got all the nobbles on it.
What are these worth? anyone want to make me an offer?
Located in Swindon.

Hello Diesel Jim,
still got the XS for sale? I have 3 new ones and I'm looking for a 4th.
I'm in Oxford, so easy enough to do a pick up.
I'm away in Nigeria for a few days, then france for a bit but can make a deal and post the payment ahead of time if needs be.
cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,
If you are still looking, i have 6x 7.50 16 XS's i was looking to rehome (just tyres, no rims)
1 is a brand new with nobbles, never touched the tarmac.
The other 5 are lightly used, but with plenty of life in them.
You'd be more than welcome to make me an offer for any or all of them. I'm just outside Portsmouth, or i could take them to Thatcham if you could meet me from work to collect.
All the best
Sam

Hello Sam.
Do you still have the tyres?
I would love to collect them, and am only just in Gosport.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Nick.

Richard, if you are still looking for that XS tyre i have one thats never been used and its on an unused steel rim. Its been in my garage for years and still sports the michelin men on the tread. Its tubed. No idea what state the tube is in. but they have never been on the road. I live in Southam north of Banbury so you can pick it up whenever you want. Would accept £35, but no less mate. Email me if you are interested.
