WTB: Stock tires in decent condition.

My rear tires have excessive wear on the inside, and I need to buy 2 new tires to replace them. The thing is, I plan on buying new rims this summer that will hold a different tire size than the stock rims. I don't feel like investing a couple hundred dollars in brand new tires when I only need them for a few months. Does anyone have some decent tires they'd be willing to sell and ship me? If so, they need to be shipped promptly, as I want to put these on before Reading. Just message me if you have one or two, as that's all I need. My front ones are just fine.

Ummm, 2 tires aren't going to cut it unless you want to destroy your transmission...

Put the ugly ones on the back and the good ones from the rear to the front. That'll get you at least a couple of months of wear.

I was thinking I could put one on front and one on the back and try to balance it. I'll be on straight roads mostly.

They were already on the back. The front is really nice to my tires.

Re: WTB: Stock tires in decent condition.

You just can't do this. Subaru automatic transmissions are VERY sensitive to mismatched tires. Even having unevenly worn tires like you do now is putting additional strain on the awd components of your transmission. You NEED to get a set of matching tires that are all worn evenly with the same amount of tread depth. If you don't, you WILL end up with a blown transmission.

Guys. I'm just joking.
