FS NY: 850/S70/V70 15" Steel Wheels + General Altimax Arctic Snow Tires

Post by burnout8488 »

We no longer own this car and I just realized these were in my girlfriend's shed.

4 OE Volvo Wheels
4 Volvo Wheel Covers
4 General Altimax Arctic 185/65-15 (Perfect replacement for 195/60-15 and 205/50-16)

The snows have 3-4(?) seasons on them and are in amazing shape, tons of tread left. Her 850 would climb up steep grades in 6" of snow with no problem, I attribute this to how narrow the tires were. Rumor has it the General Altimax Arctic is a rebraded Gislaved Nordfrost tire (Swedish) and I believe it, these grab like there's nothing on the ground at all and brake without even engaging ABS.

One of the wheels is only a few years old, I bought it new from Tasca after hitting a pothole. The set was balanced before the 2015 snow season - it should be fine, or balance them for peace of mind. (There aren't that many miles on them as I put them on late in the year and remove as soon as the snow stops)

I would like $230 firm for the set. (Willing to meet around a local highway pick-up point, not willing to drive more than an hour though)
