FS: 18" Winter Tires for Sport Tuned G35 - Used 1 Winter ~6000 miles

I sold my 07 G35 6MT to a person in FL. I had a separate Winter Setup (wheels and tires). He wanted the wheels and didn't need winter tires for FL...I wonder why?

So the tires are for sale. Buy them now so I don't have to keep them in my garage and beat the winter rush before it starts. Here are the specs and pictures:

Front:
- Set of 2 Pirelli SnowSport 240's - 225/45R18
- Used for 6000 miles
- Have 7mm of tread left (9/32" I think)
- Original Bought from Tirerack for $199/each
- This is a good replacement if your summer tires are 225/40R19 or 225/45R18, without creating any speed difference.

Rear:
- Set of 2 Bridgestone Blizzak LM25 - 225/50R18
- Used for 6000 miles
- Have 8mm of tread left (10/32" I think)
- Original Bought from Tirerack for $195/each
- This is a good replacement if your summer tires are 245/40R19 or 245/45R18, without creating any speed difference.

A couple of important notes:
- The tires were mounted on alloy 18" wheels. Kareza KZ-V The wheels are gone.
- They have never had a flat, repair, been curbed or any other damage.
- The reason I went with 2 separate brands/sizes was that I did not want to buy separate size rims for the front and back. This ways both these tires can go on wheels/rims 7"-8.5" in width and cost of wheels can be kept down
- Some say that you need 17" wheels for winter. These are 18" and had enough sidewall to let me drive safely thought the last winter (We got 101.5" of snow in Madison, WI last year and I didn't miss a day of work.)
- I also did lots of research and reading reviews and talked to local tire shops and other than tirerack no one else said I should match back and front. I am glad I did not, because the blizzaks in the back were great for traction and the Pirelli's in the front handled steering great. (look at the lugs). I also preferred slightly narrower tires on the back to cut through snow easier.
- I can easily sell them on eBay as individual pieces, but I think they are more valuable to a G35 owner who needs to buy staggered tires to keep the VDC working and speedometer working correctly.
- On those dry cold days with roads clear, I drove as hard as the summers tires and they took it. They are way less noisy and bumpy that the summers too
