Well, I'm looking for used tC rims with tires, because I'm going to repaint them anyway. There are two sets of sellers on craigslist in South Florida selling with tires and that's it...the other one isn't answering his phone. My problem with this guy is that the price is a bit out of range after adding the cost of supplies and an alignment. Also, I've done a small bit of research on the tire (which I believe are RE050's) and while my primary concern of safety is met, I've also read that the tires are noisy and tend to cup after being rotated. I offered him 250, my max is 300. I've yet to hear from him after he said he'd think about it (this was a few hours ago). According to him, the tires had 70% tread left, which is fine.

Can anyone chip in with experience/remarks about the tires?
