USED TIRES VS. NEW TIRES Some discount tire stores stock and sell used tires, especially underused OE tires. These are from customers who want to immediately change to a different tire after buying a new vehicle. However, we don't recommend opting for used tires unless absolutely necessary.
Some tire stores buy used tires, but not all tire stores do. You'll want to contact local tire stores in your area and see who buys used tires. When you find out which local stores buy used tires, ask what their purchasing policies are and what types of tires they accept. Big Industrail tires can give you pretty good credit.
Before, you could sell good cases to reusers, put them on Craigs List or on the local bulletin board (I bet you want to keep them long, if you sell them, for example, in half at retail), I have no qualms about buying tires like that, and I'm also an avid recycler. You should first call your local Discount Tire store to make sure they accept used tires for recycling and whether it's free or has a cost. Some come with low rolling resistance tires and mileage may be compromised if tires are changed. If this were in a high-performance car or one that was used on the track from time to time, there might be some justification for changing tires, but in a driver's daily purchase, going to the supermarket, new tires is a waste of money in my opinion. If your tires are unique and don't fit popular vehicle models, you may find it more difficult to sell used tires.
This is also a sustainable way to extend the life of used tires instead of throwing them away as soon as you buy new tires. If you search Craigslist for tires among the auto parts for sale, you'll no doubt find used tire dealers. Well-maintained tires with a decent tread depth may have higher prices compared to tires that are in their last lifespan. To start selling used tires online on eBay, you'll need to create a detailed listing that includes photos from different angles and information about the tire.
