FS: Blizzak LM25 Winter Tires for a Lexus IS350... MAY fit a M3

[jackolo]

Yeah, not exactly the place to advertise these but who knows...

*SOLD*

I've got a set of Blizzak winter tires off of an IS350 I'd like to sell.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM25
2 - 225/40/18
2 - 255/40/18

225s have ~8mm tread left and 255s have ~6mm

I know stock size on 18s for the M3 are 245/40 and 265/40. The Tirerack website recommends 235/40 & 255/40. So apparently the rears match up fine, just the front is a little narrow. I've actually run a 225/45 up front last winter with no problems and will be doing so again this winter.

Here are the differences of using a 245/40 vs 225/40 Front:

Revs per Mile: 809.0 vs Revs per Mile: 829.3

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 2.509% too fast
Diameter Difference: - Diameter Difference: 2.46%

I'm not saying these will work for sure and I don't know how these will affect vehicle dynamics but it's just an option for anyone shopping around.

Price is $400. *SOLD*
I have a buyer interested in the 225/40/18s so I am willing to split these tires up if you're interested in just grabbing the 255/40/18s.

Tires are located in Edmonton but are available for delivery on Oct 22nd. Shipping is available but to be determined during negotiations.

Thanks for the interest.
