Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 winter tires on 18x8.5 Raceline Surge wheels

We traded in our Pacifica a month ago as it started showing symptoms of possible future engine failure so there's no sense in holding onto these anymore. Usage on them is the same as described below as we haven't put them on since the winter of 2020 due to buying Michelin CrossClimate2s for year round use here in Southwest Virginia.

The price has been lowered significantly in the hopes that someone who needs/wants an excellent set of snow tires and wheels can buy them and use them.


TIRES
245/60R18 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV studless winter

WHEELS
Black 18x8.5 Raceline Surge with Genuine Chrysler TPMS sensors and a full set of splined lug nuts

This wheel and tire set was purchased new in the fall of 2018 from Discount Tire in Appleton, Wisconsin. They were used for one winter season in 2018 in Wisconsin and the moved to Virginia in 2019 and used them for less than 2 months in the winter of 2020.. I would estimate they have around 2000 miles on them at the most. These are fantastic tires and were a life saver in the snowy Wisconsin winter. I've used several different brands of snow tires over the years (Bridgestone Blizzak, General Altimax Arctic, GT Radial Champiro IcePro) and these are easily the best I've used. They definitely live up to their price premium, IMO.

Tires have little to no wear, no damage, no cracking, and no leaks. The wheels have no scrapes, scratches, discoloration, or curb rash (in the 4th picture there is a smudge on the wheel that looks like it might be damage but it was just stuck on dirt of some sort that I was able to wipe off). They've been stored in my dry garage.

When I bought the set Discount Tire's system recommended 235/60R18, but I went with 245 because I calculated the tire sizes and 245/60R18 was the closest in size to the stock 245/50R20 tires on my 2018 Pacifica S (they're nearly identical in overall size).

The last price I found for this exact same setup from Discount Tire Direct with lug nuts and aftermarket TPMS sensors was $1842.60 before taxes (we paid $1300 and some change back in 2018 if I remember correctly), but this set has factory TPMS sensors that I bought separately myself and had installed when the set was new.

Asking $900 $500 firm. Would prefer pickup as I've never shipped wheels but shipping can be arranged (at buyer's expense).

The last time I got a few shipping quotes it was a minimum of around $300 (that was to ship 1 state away), so keep that in mind.

Bump for price drop. If there's no interest in the next few weeks I'll just put them on and run them the rest of the winter to get some use of them.
That's a great price!
Great price & product, someone should go pick these up.

@MaximusGluteus can you check your conversations? I sent one yesterday. Had a couple of questions.

Just now saw your post and message and sent a reply.
No spacers needed, right? I'm interested but I would need to have them shipped.

Are these sold?
I’m about 4 hours away, will try to find something closer. Thanks
I was going to comment that you're probably the only person in VA who bought winter tires, but then I saw the Wisconsin tag :). Good luck with the sale, I hope that someone who likes winter sports will show up.

Yeah I wish I had sold them before I moved, but some family members who had lived here 20+ years said they get snow in the winter, and being in the mountains I thought the tires would be useful. However, "snow in the winter" here means it snows one day and is melted within 24 hours, so not exactly what I was expecting. My new tires will work just fine year round here, including in the "snow" we get.
Back up for sale

* Recently purchased new Michelin Cross Climate 2's for year round use since my area doesn't get enough snow to need snow tires. *

I will gladly buy if you can give me a shipping quote to 55605
Bumping this after a year and a half or so. We traded the Pacifica in so it's time for these to go. See original post for details. I don't know why a bunch of the pictures aren't loading (for me, anyway) but if anyone needs more let me know and I'll be happy to take some.
