A guy is going to give me a brand new set taken off an 05 GT at the dealership for $500.

Sound like a good deal? I researched and the stock Pirellis are around $120-$150 for just the rubber.

I am in need of new tires....all 4 are almost slicks and this sounds like a really good deal. Plus I can use two of the rims and mount a set of drag radials.

I would buy it if I had a chance and $500. You can probably sell your old rims (2 or all 4) and even get some money back. One thing to check if you get the Pirelli's or dealership's tire warranty. I would get them even if there is no warranty, but still worth checking.

Well I'm not too worried about the warranty. Odds are my warranty for these Pirelli's will be left on the pavement....lol.

Its a good deal, If you want the pirellis again. I picked up just the wheels for 289+85 ship from ebay, to put snow tires on.

The tire is warrantied for manufactor defects in material/workmanship until 2/32 of rubber reguardless if who owns them, or used.
Its unlikely that you would have a warranty issue with these tires anyway.

And like you said "Odds are my warranty for these Pirelli's will be left on the pavement"

Rofl!

Well guys, I picked them up on Friday evening. 4 brand new Bullitt take offs for $500. They have like 4 or 5 more sets if anyone else is interested.

They are all from 05 Roushes and taken off as soon as they got off the truck.
