Brand new, with the labels on. They have never seen a sunlight before the pics was taken. Rubber is in absolutely mint condition.
2 x 220/35/390
2 x 200/60/390

Im asking $899 shipped or best offer. Im looking to sell them as a set of 4, not separating them.

Online stores are offering them for $300+ each.

What is the manufacturing date on these tires?

Those labels look suspiciously "vintage."

Maybe they were hermetically sealed all these years in a nitrogen filled chamber.

Excellent. Staggered set of TRX tires.

Some extra pics answering the dot questions

Looks like these were produced in the second week of October in [most likely] 1991. Could be '81 as well.

Edit: considering these labels don't have barcodes, I'm actually leaning toward 1981 now.

Bar codes went into use in the mid '70s. I'm saying the tires are from 1991. See the little triangle to the right of the date code? Tires from the '90s sometimes have that, specifically so you can tell they're from the '90s.

I was just browsing pics online and saw some from the mid-90's with barcodes on the labels and figured these might have been earlier. Barcodes were around, but still weren't common on some products well-into the late-80's. Glad someone had some better knowledge. 1991 was still 26 years ago, though...

lol, I think modern snow tires have a less aggressive tread than those.

Bad ass tires...

Perfect for those 4 people that want brand new period correct spare tires in the trunk on a freshly refinished wheel.

Did anyone notice there is one HR rated tire and three VR rated tires?

Where are the concours correct gotta have it guys? Step on up and grab a new tire.

Treadwear 170 is about three clicks above margarine

Ferrari guys pay big bucks for these.

except the sizes for e28s, e24s and Ferraris were all different

School me on this point please. Would a judge at a concourse d'elegance subtract points from an'85 535i if it didn't have a set of TRX's ?

Seeing the tread pattern does bring back memories. Like seeing the old A008 tread.....

I have a set of those. They're worn way down and hard as rocks, but they're still cool.

are you trying to get someone killed ? arent this a bit risky to drive on ?

fun non-sequitur about another vehicle I own with "excellent" factory rubber:

my drz400 comes stock with bridgestone trailwings.
They are colloquially known as deathwings.

And even more so with a cobbled-together, mismatched set like this.
