R15x31x10.5 BF Goodrich T/A Tyres and rims

[Svenb]

Spare wheels left over after selling the truck.

4 x R15x31x10.5 BFG all terrains - 1 brand new, 2 in good condition with life left in them, and 1 that need replacing.

All 4 are on Toyota Rims which are in perfect nick, no scratches or scuffs. They've had some black paint on the beveled edges (see pics) and look pretty cool.

1 x spare wheel included with Bridgestone Winter Dueller tyre with plenty of tread left.

The rim on the spare doesnt have the black paint on it, and could use a decent polish.

The wheels are on ebay on an auction, I'll take £150 for them with collection in London.

I also have a Toyota A bar for sale, great condition - £50

£100!!

Need these out my storage!

Can I provisional say "I'll have them ", but I have a few questions first

1. What size are the actual wheels ?

2. Would you courier them out? There's no way I can get down to the big city from oop north. But if the costs are massive I'll have to pass on them.

Hi, if the courier works out to be too expensive Im interested in these.
Will wheels fit direct onto unlifted 2nd Gen without spacers etc?

Thanks

[oridan]

Hi, quite interested in the A/Nudge bar, what gen vehicle did it come from? Apparently the brackets changed across some of the generations. I have a 2nd gen surf. Where are you in London?

Cheers,
Tom

If the other offers you already have don't work out, I would be interested in the wheels so I'll take my turn in the queue. Actually I'm only really interested in the Goodrich tires but I would just take the whole lot from you to save messing you about. I've just put 2 new Goodrich AT's on the back and it would be nice to get I could then put your 3 useable ones onto my other 3 wheels and swap the remaining 3 tires I have onto your wheels and re-advertise them if anyone else wanted some very cheap wheels and tires. I'm in Kent and assuming you are in London I could collect over the weekend if that helps.

Cheers,

Hugh.

Glad we've cleared that up.

Was becoming a bit tyresome

Now if I was being mischievous (which of course I'm not) :-) I would share the following......

Etymologists have suggested two possible derivations of the word “tire/tyre.”
One comes from the original function of the tire as the metal hoop or band of iron that “tied” or bound the wheel together. In this usage, referring to wagon wheels and the like, tire has consistently been spelled with an “i” on both sides of the Atlantic.

The other possible origin of the word and the one which has the greater
etymological support is the word “attire,” from which the short first syllable was dropped over time. In this sense, the tire is the attire or dressing of the wheel.

As etymologist Webb Garrison explained in his book, “What’s in a Word?”
“For centuries, any type of dress or equipment was commonly known
as attire. Careless pronunciation clipped off the first syllable so that it
became customary to speak of both useful and ornamental coverings as
’tire. This name applied to a multitude of objects from a woman’s frock
to the curved iron plates used to ‘dress up’ wheels of carts and wagons.”
Two of the most authoritative dictionaries of the English language, “Webster’s
Third New International” in the United States and “The Oxford English Dictionary” in Britain, agree with Garrison. The Oxford dictionary, the British standard, says tyre is a variant spelling of tire (implying that tire is the more etymologically correct spelling). Regarding the spelling, the dictionary’s entry under “Tire” says:
“From 15th to 17th c. spelt tire and tyre indifferently. Before 1700 tyre
became generally obsolete, and tire remained the regular form, as it still does
in America; but in Great Britain tyre has been revived as the popular term for
the rubber rim of bicycle, tricycle, carriage, or motor car wheels, and is
sometimes used for the steel tires of locomotive wheels.”
In 1956, Philip Schidrowitz, writing in the “European Rubber Journal,” argued for the British spelling of tyre, by pointing out that the official spelling in the various classified publications of the British patent office has consistently been with a “y.”
Nevertheless, he also noted that the patent for the first pneumatic tire, that of R.W. Thomson in 1845, used the spelling “tire.” However, Schidrowitz
contended that Thomson used the word as applying only to the rim of the wheel, referring to his own invention as an “elastic belt” or “elastic bearing.”
The British evidently resurrected the archaic spelling −tyre− to distinguish
between the modern pneumatic tire, made of rubber, and its iron predecessor,
used on wagon wheels.

Thanks anyway

[UKHugh]

Or I could just admit the obvious and agree my spelling is a bit rubbish.

Wheels can be collected on Sunday if need be.

Is this a "no" to the courier then?
