Collapsible spare tire
I have two collapsible spare tires. Do they have any value? Does anyone want them?

I've got one that's been in storage, never inflated. Free for pick-up in the Sacramento area. I can't remember if it's 944 or 951 though.

Mine are the steel 944 style. Tire and rim. (If I could figure out how to get the tire off, I'd keep the rims... but you can't do it with a standard machine.

They look really funny when they are inflated.

I have one in the garage as well only because I forgot to put it out for the trash. Pick up in Pittsburgh.

Has anyone actually ever used one under duress, in recent times? If so, how did it do?

I used mine a few years ago... probably ~2008. Inflated it up with the OEM air compressor, and drove ~10 miles home. No issues.
