What should I do with the OEM Yoko 34s?

[Joker2]

I am not offering anything for sale here.

I installed summer tires on different wheels on my Mazda2 Sport.
I have just received my winter tires which will be installed on my steel OEM wheels.

What should I do with the OEM Tires? Yokohama 34s in 185-55-15?

Should I store them or should I sell them? If yes, what should I ask for them? They retail for 111 each at Tire Rack, have about 2000 miles on them and one is plugged (damn nail).

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

Sell Tires.
Aquire Monies.
Buy more awesome stuff for said car.
IMHO.

I think our stock yokos only have a life of 20k-30k which is laaaame. They retail for 111-140 so you could prob score 80-100 each and discount the pluged one. Afterall they are still very nice tires, grippy buggers.

I just sold my OEM steel wheels, muffler, and springs recently. Used that money to buy new shortram, crankshaft pulley and in dash nav. WORTH IT.

toss them on your local craigslist. should be an easy $200-250 for the set

Sell them. Even though they came of your 2, it's still a pretty common size used though out the car world. Plus with the economy the way it is and people looking to save a buck around every corner, I'm sure your tires will sell quick.

I'd sell the old tires too.

On a related note, does anyone have any thoughts on what a set of used Mz2 alloy (not steelies) OEM wheels should go for? I'm thinking about trying to find a set to put winter tires on. (Don't really want to go with steelies as I wanna look good during the 5 months out of the year the winter tires are gonna be on the car, lol)

I sold my 4 for 60 each on the local Craigslist.
They retail for about 100 so meh.

Just craigslist search for 4x100 wheels and find some 15's (maybe even 14's?), miata wheels are abundant...I found a set of aluminum rims and used racing tires for $75 lol.
