----Just a suggestion, Tom, but how about buying aftermarket wheels and really good tires and saving the originals for a possible new owner down the road......Bill S

Interesting idea...

We sort of did that this winter with her Audi Q7. Bought some Continental snows mounted on aftermarket wheels and left the factory supplied alloys/run flats as is.

Of course, the tire part will be easy...choosing a new wheel style will be a 'process'

Any suggestions of a wheel/tire combo that would work well on this car???

Thanks for the great idea

I have this situation with a few cars I simply took the old tires off save them and put new tires on the existing rooms. It’s a bit of a pain to save all the tires but to the extent that the new owner may want them someday it’s kind a cool
