If you know someone in the Houston area (SE Texas) who could utilize a set of 5 lightly-used Vredestein Sprint Classic 195/70VR14 black wall tires, please relay my information to them.  $100 OBO for the set, local pickup only (no delivery or shipping). 

These came off of a recently acquired 250SL that is now sporting white walls.  See photos for condition.  The fifth tire is on the spare at the moment and not in the photo; but appears to be never used.

Please text or call my cell:  281-777-1733.

Gratefully,

I wish you were willing to ship!

You might want to share the date codes.

Yes, date codes (4 digits indicating the week and year of production) essential, to know whether these tires will be truly useable, or 'for display only'.

Rodd & Cees:  Thank you for the helpful suggestion.

I checked all 5 of them. They all show 2215, which suggests that they were manufactured during the week of May 27, 2015.

See photo.

Gracias,
Fred

This is direct from tire grades.com:

Tire Age Limit Law
While there is no specific law, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) recommends replacing passenger car and truck tires every 6 years, regardless of wear. However, they strongly advise that all tires, including spares, should be replaced after 10 years, as a precautionary measure for safety.
