    I have been searching for a very specific brand and size of tire that is no longer produced and I found a set on craigslist in Columbia,SC. The seller won't even consider shipping the tires, so I'm looking for someone that might be willing to pick them up and send them to me for a fee. I will cover all costs including purchase price and shipping charges. I don't expect the person that helps me to spend any money out of there pocket.

    If anyone is willing and able to help me out, please let me know.

    Thank you

    It's a Yokohama YK420 225/50R16.

    Did the rain hold off long enough for you to get the steering parts off today? Did you get my PP payment?

    Yes everything is off and boxed and will ship tomorrow and send you the tracking numbers. Yes I received p.p. payment :Handshake

    Now that you told me the tire you want I am going to have to see one, guess I will do a search

    There isn't anything special about this tire. I am looking for this particular brand and size because I have a brand new set of 235/55/16 mounted on brand new 16x8 wheels and the fronts are rubbing. The tires I'm trying to find are 225/50/16. These will give me the clearance I need with the lowered springs installed in the front.

    I live about an hour and a half away in Summerville, SC. If Jeff can't help, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
