FS (Colorado): C900 snows & steel rims
For any Colorado-area C900 drivers without snowshoes or rims for
your car:
FS: Used Vredestein steel-belted M+S tires on Saab-branded rims.
The tires say 165 SR 15 86 Q. I used them on a 1986 900, but
they've been sitting in the garage for several years. They are
pretty worn, especially on the outside treads, but probably still
better than driving in snow with summer tires. They're studded on
the inside half of the tire, but the studs are pretty worn.
(In case you're wondering, yes it is legal to use studs in Colorado
-- see e.g. http://www.cotrip.org/faqs/noncommchains.html)
They come mounted on 4 Saab 4-hole steel rims -- size 5 1/2 J x 15.
These are worth about $50-60 apiece new -- see e.g.
http://www.saab-auto-parts-online.com/wheels/900-1986.html
You can have all 4 of them, with the tires, for $75 OBO. (I'm sure
someone will correct me if that's not a reasonable price. :-)

I checked with my Saab guy and he sells 'em (used) for $25 apiece, and
that's without usable snows on them. I'll take half that, $50 total,
if somebody will come get 'em out of my garage.
I might get better local interest if I could broaden the market beyond
the Saab folks. Anybody know what other cars these old 80's-era C900
4-hole rims would fit?
