    Are these mounted or just the tires? What is the tread depth on them?

    FYI, if you're interested, near me (Northern NJ), there's a set of 4 almost new Blizzaks 195/65/15 on Steel rims for $400 flat. I think this is OEM size on your new Prius.
    Blizzaks on steel rims 195 65 15 - Fits Prius Corolla Vibe Matrix etc

    Those aren't mine, btw. I was considering this for myself, but if yours are mounted as well, maybe we can make a deal. I prefer the 16's since I have the Touring edition and these are the same size.

    OP is selling a different size, 195 55 16 which tirerack is selling at a "closeout" of $125 per tire, with shipping and michelin $70 rebate it would be about $475 for a new set.

    I also thought OP's asking price was outrageous but its actually very reasonable, but don't forget you have to give off season pricing, I just picked up 4 performance 18" blizzak 245/45r18 with 5K miles mounted on really nice aftermarket bmw alloy wheels off craigslist for $300, that combo is $2000 new which means I'll probably get around $1200 or so this November when I resell them at a handsome profit.

    I say they're worth about $250 right now but if you hang on to them a few more months you should be able to get $350-$400 in Oct/Nov, my $.02.

    Its the same with my Omega Seamaster. After 10 years I'm bored to death with it, I could sell it now for $700-$750 but if I just wait till the next Bond film comes out I think I can get over $900 for it. I've got 10,000 spoons in my kitchen drawer but need a damn knife!!! Timing is everything.
