I don't have any on my computer right now. I just put them in last spring, I asked my dad what he thinks they have for miles on them he says about 4k, hence i never drive the car lol. I paid like $250 for them so i'd sell them for like $150. It won't be for atleast another month before i can get them out because my car is in our back garage and until the ground is hard its not going anywhere.
