Do people buy part worn Pilots for tracking ?

[M3]

Im taking some off my 19s, not to bad but I want new all round. Could I sell them for track days, they are about £1000 new????? and they are sill ok???

Take some good pictures and some measurements of the tread, and create a classified ad on hear or put them on ebay.

I think that there quite possibly could be a market for these tyres for someone out there .... in the past, I've put a near shagged pair of tyres on the rear for a track day after I'd bought brand new boots, to save ruining them.

i guess you mean Pilot Sport and not Pilot Cup?

there is a big second hand Cup market but less for low tread Sports

In my experience, people will buy Cups, much more so than normal Pilot Sports. I have sold a number of Cups that were perfectly good for a trackday or two, and usually got about £100 a set. Expect to get less for Pilot Sports.

Shame they're not 17" or else I'd have them for my track E36.

why do you want new ones if they still have usable tread on them? though to answer your question, i'm sure you could sell them if they've got a track day left on them! i've got a set of rears like that, they could get you too an track day, do the track day, but won't get you home! which is an issue, when you can't put another set in the boot lol

They are off the car on replacement 19s (I have 18s) dont want to put them on then find the car is all over the place in the wet, so will dig deep and put some cheaper brand on for now..

May as well get some dosh for them.
