Hey guys I'm posting this now for some feelers.
I have a '20 Explorer ST and recently something must have happened as I have a slow leak on one rim. The leak doesn't always happen as I can go a few days or sometimes even a week without having to fill up the tire. Other times I need to fill it up twice in a day. We're not sure where the bend is in the rim but occasionally depending on how the vehicle is sitting at rest the tire will lose pressure or it won't. I've tried to purchase a replacement rim online but they're getting hard to find for a reasonable price. Also the 21" tires are significantly more expensive than a 20" comparable.
I'm considering replacing all the wheels with 20" rims and tires and selling my 21" wheels and tires as a set discounted due to the one with the bend. I'm located in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Tire's are Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's 275/45/21 with about 8,000 miles on them. I was thinking about $1,500 for the set. BTW you can used services like Shiply or others to have someone pick up the wheels and tires and deliver for a fairly reasonable price. I had a guy pick up and drop off an 85" TV to me 5 hours away for $200.
I feel like that's a solid offer for a set of $2,000 tires with only 8K miles on them and 3 good used rims and one with an imperceptible bend somewhere. BTW the rim conditions on the others is pretty fair for a 2020 Explorer with a bit of road rash here and there. If I go this route I'll make sure to take pictures and clean them up as well but thought I'd check here first.
