I have a pair of Bridgestone BT016 tyres on my Triumph. Looking to get them changed for Michelins which I much prefer.

Would my Bridgestones be worth anything second hand? They have 3300 miles on them, starting to square off slightly on the rear but lots of tread.

If any knowledge of how much theyre worth where is best to try and sell, ebay?

Cheers for any help.

If they are at all legal then someone will find them of value, put 'em on eBay for £10 start and see what you get.

They will be worth something to somebody, ebay is probably your best bet.
Maybe worth £50 or so.

Yeah, very legal. I just dont like Bridgestones. Silly reason maybe but if it gives me more confidence riding my bike then it's money well spent to me.

Any interested parties on here? Laughing Front is a 120/70 rear is a 180/55 I think.

Could definitely be if they're a good price, but admit to know nothing about how interchangeable tyre sizes can be.

My TDM apparently runs a 110/80 on the front, and 150/70 on the rear. Any gurus on here know if I could shoehorn them on? Very Happy

No. Apart from being the wrong width i think the front tyre on the TDM is an 18 inch, Irezumi's front will be a 17 inch.

Sorry, but you don't have to be a guru to know that the rear (at the very least) is never going to fit the rim, and even if it can be squeezed on it's likely to be dangerous to do so.
