WTB Ecopia 175/55R20 Rear Tire

Need to return my i3 in March and unfortunately, I've got a nail near the sidewall so it can't be repaired. I really don't wanna buy a new tire. Does anyone happen to have a used tire with more than 4/32" tread available??? Willing to buy a used pair if that's all you have. Current tread is 5/32"

I know it's a shot in the dark but worth a try. I live in the LA area.

You can buy the tires from dealers off the web for steep discounts and they can ship them to you, my dealer matched tire racks price, crazy I know but they did.

Here is a shot of my 20" tire with 22k miles on it! Yea it was time! But I got every mile then some out of them.

All dealers can get them as they get them from their main hub here in Illinois and other hubs.

Last time I checked they had tons.

Any dealer should be able to get you tires. The other places like tire rack and others are out of luck till they get restocked.
