Snow Tires, Seattle

Bridgestone Blizzak W965, size 235/85/16 (narrow 265/75/16), E Rated. $350 obo

Set of 4 slightly used Bridgestone Blizzak W965 in size 235/85/16. E rated.

This is a narrow 265/75/16 tire, and a narrow snow tire provides better traction in snow. So if you run a 265/75/16 tire, these will work great.

I had these on my Tacoma for two winters, I no longer have the Tacoma so am selling the tires. These are amazing snow tires! They have only been driven on snowy roads, in sub freezing temps. (I had several sets of tires for my Tacoma, and changed out for the conditions.) Tires are worn 1/16" from new.

Feel free to ask any questions about the tires, I will answer as soon as I can.

 

Any idea on how many miles they have been used?

 

Not an exact number, as I was changing out between three sets of tires. Maybe 3-5k?

As I noted, they are worn 1/16 from new.

 

bump for an endorsement. great tires. I had them on my Tacoma for 2 years, and now my mother in law has run them on her FJ for 3 or 4 years. Lots of dry pavement miles and they still look to be about 70%. These are great tires. They're bullet-proof, and they wear really well. That's a great price.

Mine were also the 235/86r16. Narrow tire cuts through those tracks of piled slush and snow between lanes and tire tacks you get on the roadways in the winter, without skipping beat or ever making you think that you will hydroplane and lose traction.

edit: also.. the second half of the tread (once they're 50% worn) is a softer compound to increase traction and make up for the reduced traction that comes with reduced tread depth.

 

How old are these? Manufacture date?

 

I can check the manufacture date tomorrow morning. I think they are 3-4 years old. I knew I would have them for a while, so they were stored indoors wrapped in plastic.
