Default WTB: Michelin Latitude Alpin N-spec 20" snow tires

2 @ 265/45x20
2 @ 295/40x20

​​​​​​Since you-know-what is only a few months away in New England, I was wondering if anyone has a set (4) of 20" snow tires
with minimal wear they're planning on selling before the white stuff starts flying?

Please PM me with your particulars.

I'm located about 30 minutes west of Boston, MA (Boston MetroWest - AKA BMW)


Thanks!

What kind of car? The size/stagger looks 911-ish, but 265 up front would wide for a winter setup.

I actually found a set of PA4s on Craigslist a couple years ago for my 991 911, and at least two sets were for sale.

Oops - left out the application They're for a Macan Turbo


...yeah, I keep checking Craigslist and a few forums... I thought I'd be a bit more proactive and issue a WTB posting.

Have you considered going smaller/skinnier and buying a dedicated winter setup? For fun, I just looked at TireRack and a Turbo Macan with standard brakes can fit as small as 18" wheels.

I am not a fan of swapping tires on wheels twice/year. I have had a bead torn; more likely to get a wheel damaged; paying $200+/year adds up after a few years; PITA.

Buy a dedicated winter setup, use it for a few years, and then sell it when you get rid of the car

P.S. A Cayenne was at the last Palmer event, so take the Macan out on the track

I have a dedicated winter setup - on black Spyders, although they came with Latitude Tour HP all-season
tires.

I was looking to switch the Latitude Tours to Latitude Alpins.


...and, I was able to source some slightly used tires online. They just arrived today! Now to swap the tires
over.

Anyone looking for a set of lightly used 20" Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires for a Macan? One is almost new
as it was replaced last late winter after I ran over something (?) that cut the sidewall of the LR tire.

2 - 265/45 x 20 2 @ 6/32" tread remaining (10/32" when new)
2 - 295/40 x 20 1 @ 6/32" tread remaining, 1 @ 4/32" tread remaining (10/32" when new)

$525 ($1300 for a new set from TireRack)
