Default if you're near NJ, you can have my FZ4's

if you come pick them up. I have a set of 235/40 17's, 3 are great with lots of tread left while the 4th has sidewall damage, but holds air (for now).

Default sure, just let me know...

I wouldn't use the 4th FZ4 unless all you do is cruise in a straight line though. A new one would run you about $100, and shipping 3 tires out there should be less than $75.

I'll have the tires off the wheels and ready to go in 2 weeks.

Default sounds like a helluva deal, Why aren't you using them anymore?....

How many miles on them? If I bought a new tire would all 4 still be within the required circumference or however they measure to ensure I don't screw up the AWD?
