Do you think my old winter tires are profitable?

[moonpie89]

From my old car. I haven't use them in over 3 years. Looks so rusted 😭

I'm not expecting much money from selling 4 of them if i can even make a sale 😭

Yes

No

I will clean them first

The rust isn’t the issue the age and tread would be. If they’ve still got good tread you can sell. A buyer that knows what they’re doing would be able to look at it and know. I sold mine after my car got totalled and now I’m kicking myself because I could have used them on my new vehicle

Tires are hard, even if you sell them for a small amount by the time they get them mounted, etc. the kind of person who would buy used tires can get a better deal on new tires mounted at a store.

It looks like she's selling the whole wheel. Four bolts, and it's done.

Yeah clean them paint them with ruatolium if not more gray black or silver paint using deck of card and spray can paint. Clean tire with armorall or similar product and you are good to go. Hoping you can get back some of your investment

[goaded]

The rust is not a problem, the age of the rubber tyres themselves might be, although if they've got tread on them they're still useful. Somebody will give you money for them, even if it's just for, what, 40 kg, of steel.

Well if you get a lid or something to use as a roof it could make for a good shelter for @bigpauly …

sorry, jk. I don’t know anything about cars. I just wanted to take another jab at my tiny buddy before the weekend started hahah

[bigpauly]

See what I put up with? 😒😂

The tyre itself is probably nominal value. But the metal rims could be worth a lot of money.

[Redstang88]

Maybe, how much tread is left? You might a couple hundred bucks if there’s still some life left

[exitseven]

there is a few miles left in them. Clean them up and get a few bucks for them

[Surely]

Not knowing how much tread life is left. Nor how old the tires actually are. The tires may not be worth anything.

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

People look at the sidewalls too but the thread is what counts

[Andres77]

How’s the tread? Even wear?

[Guardian45]

Are you selling them with the rims?

[moonpie89]

Yes.
