Time to put the crack pipe down ... Holy Moley
What was the original msrp per tire in 1968? $40 - $60.
Not correct for a KR, but definitely very valuable to the right person
Maybe he should have started at 50,000 dollars just in case someone tried to beat him down 1000.00 on price... Good Luck!
You might be very surprised what someone will pay
Yeah, these days, nothin' surprises me anymore! ::)
Scott.
Testing the market. You can always drop the price if you're too high. Where are you going to find another set? At some future point separating two top concours cars may come down to the date codes on the tires.
oh, there are other sets.
I think probably in the $15-20k range. High or low Mr B ??

First of all I don't think he discloses the tread depth? If 10/32+ probably 3-3500 each. Second not many 350/500 owners doing Div 1 cars anymore (just you Don)

Looks like 9/32 to me. Picture from the ad.

They would have to be exceptional tires: tread depth and wear; sidewall/letter condition.
Tim has a point--is mine the last '68 Div I??

Don, so far yes yours has been the last Div.I 68 car and last one in a long time since your's.
It takes a lot of years time money and patience to put a matching set of original tires together unless u find a rare full matching set. Sidewall curb damage and uneven wear from poor front tire alignment dry rotting etc. Tire tread wear needs to be about the same on all 4 tires on the ground and the spare should be new to be a show set of tires. The value of a tire really changes when the tread gets below 9 or 10 32s as the outer Z treads start disapearing and it changes the tire tread look also the outside tread depth is deeper than the middle because the tire shoulder wears more from front end turning. Place a new tire next to a 8/32 tire and look at the noticeable tread difference in wear pattern.
Since KR 500s are trading hands in the 160k- 220k range seems nuts to spend 25k on tires. More people are buying into the Revology customs that are trading in the 300k- 400k range. Times are a changing!

Those wouldn't even be correct for KR :'(

Don't believe that the customers with the $160-$220k (your range) KR owners are the specific owners who would be looking for original period correct tires in the first place so IMO apples and oranges unless you have an owner who doesn't care about "investment" and just wants them for his or her reasons. We see similar things with owners or clones or non-show cars where the owner just wants original parts only - no or limited reproduction parts. Their car, their money and their reasons. ::)
A quick trip into the internet of what 500 KR S are selling for will reveal that my 160k to 220k price range seems to be the meat and potatoes of the selling price today... Not MY pricing but an active search shows these findings. There are very few maybe a handful or two, of owners that think they need 25 thousand dollar tires or even 50 thousand dollars for their cars. You are spot on... its their money and their rules! Everyone has different wants and needs. Thanks for what you bring to the table with these cars Jeff!
