Cleaning out the garage. Found 4 snow tires in good condition. For a Toyota Corola. Have a new car and tires for it. Anyone have an idea what I can get for them? Prefer to sell to a shop for ease.

Thanks!

personally, i'd hang on to them until the fall if you can - tough time of year to sell snows. I doubt a shop would buy them, but i could be wrong. Other than that, I think you're looking at Kijiji.

There are used tire shops that might buy them, but probably for bottom dollar.
Kijiji costs nothing. If they're still good for a couple of winters put them in for $250 OBO.

Check out kijiji and craigslist and compare prices, then go from there. A pet peeve of mine, if you do list them put the size of tires and not just the car they came off of.

They are probably worthless.

I say that because I have a feeling that they are more than 7 years old. Even tires that have never been used, if they are more than 7 years old are worthless.

You may get lucky and find some idiot on craigslist who does not know that older tires are worthless ane will buy them from you. But a lot of people know how to read the DOT date stamp on the tire. Really, if they are more than 4 or 5 years old, they're junk and you will need to pay to get rid of them.

If your going to junk them, take the time to put up an ad on Kijiji. Just say $100 take or leave it, you come to me cash in hand. Afterwards head to the nearest strip club of choice and purchase 5 dances.
