Hi,
I am selling a set of FOUR Michelin X-Ice 225/60QR16 tires, mounted and freshly balance on a set of silver 10-spoke (Mark VIII OEM) 16X7" wheels. These tires have less than 75 miles on them (I drove on them one time from the shop where I had them mounted/balanced back to my old house, which was from Las Cruces to Alamogordo, NM).
Details on the tires are at the link below:

As you can see - they are VERY HIGHLY RATED snow/ice tires. They cost approximately $430 for the set after shipping.
The wheels that they are mounted on are a set of used, 10-spoke "turbine" wheels, that came off a 97 Mark VIII. They were lifetime balanced at Wal-Mart tire/lube. And as you know if you've done the lifetime balance at WalMart - you can take them back as many times as you wish to have them re-balanced in the future (if necessary). I paid approx $260 for the set of wheels (bought them from aboard member), and another approx $50 for the lifetime balance and mounting.
The used wheels look nice from several feet away - but are not perfect (as are most wheels that are 10 years old). These are the silver ones - not the chrome 10-spokes. The wheels have minor curb rash in a couple spots (from the previos owner - not after these tires went on). One of the wheels also has a small dent in the inner/inside wheel-weight lip. I can personally attest that this combo has NO vibration or other driving issues at speeds of up to 80 mph (which is the fastest I took them up to on the drive home from the shop). Bottom line with the wheels is that they are good for your winter set - but you wouldn't want to show them off in the summer.
Price is $550 FIRM and includes free delivery withing 50 miles of 78245 (San Antonio, TX). If I need to ship them - you pay ACTUAL COST with no add ons. I prefer shipping a trackable method (such as FedEx Ground) as it provides more recourse in the event they lose it. I sell on eBay as calviroman and have a 100% positive feedback with 55+ sales. I ship same day, and I will take paypal, check, money order, or cash in person.
Please email for more pics - I have high resolution pics available!
Thanks,
Cal
PS: The reason I'm selling these is back when I bought them, we had just sold my wifes Saturn Coupe, and were planning on buying a used Cadillac CTS to replace it. I knew that I was going to need a "snow-capable" vehicle to do all the fun winter activites in the new mexico mountains. So I buy these wheels and tires to make the Mark "snow ready". Of course, a few weeks later - she (we) change our minds and decide to stay Lincoln and buy a Navigator 4X4 (which we did and still have). So now I have a set of snow tires sitting in my hall closet that I have never used!
