What to do with brand new tires when upgrading to larger tires

[deleriumtremor]

I switched wheel and tires on my Jeep Wrangler. I had planned to list them on Craigslist for about 50% of new cost. When I was at Discount tire getting my new K02's mounted on a set of stock rims I found on eBay, a guy drove in with a Wrangler and was looking at some new Nitto Trail Grapplers (35x12.5x17) and the salesman said, why don't you ask the guy taking his off what he wants. (referring to me).

The guy came out and asked what I was planning to do with the Nitto's and AM rims I was taking off and I told him I was going to sell them on Craigslist for 50% of new. He went in and got a quote what new ones would cost and came out and said he would be right back with the cash.

I think they would have sold on Craigslist pretty quickly, if he hadn't stumbled into them.

I'll offer a solution other than selling, I bought a single second hand wheel off eBay and got my last good dynapro mounted to it (popped one and severely damaged two, all in a single day). I now have two full size spares. They are a different size than my current tires but only about an inch smaller, enough to limp home on.

i say keep them in case you want to go back to the other size for any reason or decide to trade it in etc.

All great advice. Keeping them would be great peace of mind.

i usually burn them

I would of guessed you'd turn them in to pots and grow plants in them. Burning works too...

I sold my OEM tires, wheels & spare on Facebook for $450.00.

I just sold my Bridgestone Duelers (stock) for $100. Had them in my garage for the past 8 months listed for $60 per tire and I just got them sold this afternoon for $100 total. I wanted the space in my garage back.

That's what I'm thinking would happen. Just take anything somebody offered me lol

Best bet is Craigslist, FB Marketplace, etc. Expect to take a large hit. I have sold wheels and tires (mostly snow setups) several times after trading in vehicles. The most I have gotten ever was $300, usually less.

Same here and I’ve written in my adds that I’m not interested in playing American Pickers when we meet

I gave my hankooks to the shop that installed my mods for good karma and perhaps a future discount. I doubt with 25k miles they were worth allot although the spare looked brand new.

Craigslist is always a good option.

I sold my oem stock Duelers on a local marketplace site in a week for $600. Put a good dent in the new ones I purchased.

Wow that's a great deal! That could be like half the cost of some decent 33s
