Default WTB: Hoosier R3S04 225/50-16

Anybody have one kicking around that has 50%+ life left? I ruined 1 tire, just one, and want to at least get another day or 2 out of the rest.

I've got 2 X R3S03 tires in that size. If you're interested, I can post pics.

Is that a reasonably similar compound? How old are the tires?

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't see this post before.

I'm not super familiar with the different year compounds, but I don't think the change from year to year is drastic. They were purchased new in 2004, so the rubber is 3 years old, used in 2004/2005, and stored indoors. Here's a couple pics:

Well, I thought I had pics, but don't. My wife took the camera, and she won't be back until Saturday, I can post then if you would like. Are you going to be anywhere near Rochester/WGI anytime soon, as it would save shipping costs (assuming you're interested in them.)

They probably have a few DE days left to them treadwise, no flat spots/cracks/patches etc. I use a different size now. Cheap, like $50 + shipping for both. Of course, if I don't have to ship them, all the better.

PM me if interested, so I make sure to get your message, thanks.

Last year we mixed 03 and 04 on a car, the tires required radically different pressures. I'd maybe run two on one axle but not one. Even then I'd be careful.
