dick turpin Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Lazy Sunday afternoon question..........just replaced the tires on my Vigo, the missus insisted on keeping the old tires which she says she can sell, curious to know what the spot market price is on a bunch of old treads.

giddyup Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I would imagine it would depend on the condition, how much tread left on them etc. Don't know how anyone could give an evaluation with so little information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCruncher Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Why you don't ask your wife then, since she can sell them she must have a price in mind. Edited February 28, 2016 by TheCruncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick turpin Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Think the fact that I have replaced them would suggest . they are well knackered, seven years, although only 70 000 kms and no the wife does not have a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 They keep the tyres to sell for scrap or as my wife has done before turned the big truck tyres into planters there is a guy near us who does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't be used again as they are knackered:) I could barely get 400 baht for my tires when I turned them after 40K kms and less than 3 years old. Just enjoy your new tires:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy if I ever get 50.000 Kms on my truck. The last 4 sets on 2 different trucks all did only 50K before I had to replace them, and I've had Goodrich, Good Year, Dunlop and now firestone. I think the last set will even not last 50K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Why didn't you ask the shop that supplied your new tyres to take them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thairay Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 have your wife deal with it and in about 5 years you can throw them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick turpin Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 have your wife deal with it and in about 5 years you can throw them away Exactly my line of thought when she came up with the idea....insisted she offloaded them with a cousin to deal with before we even got home.

Gary A Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I changed the OEM Bridgestones on my old Nissan at 90.000 kilometers, not because they were worn out but because they got hard and were dangerous on wet roads. The tread looked to be still about half there. The dealer didn't want them so I stacked then beside the garage. One day a guy came and asked my wife if we wanted to sell them. I told my wife to tell him that 300 baht would be OK. He promptly peeled off 1,200 baht for the set. I had meant 300 baht for the set. My wife came in the house and handed me 300 baht. She pocketed 900 baht and she was very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the more observant will have guessed this about my missus possibly getting one up on me... at this rate it is not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Bridgestone on my Spivo only change them because they were over 6 year old. The dealer offered to buy them for 500bt each. Jumped at that 2,000bt in beer tokens. What the Buddha would I do with 4 half worn tyres cluttering up the house anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was laughing and told me that I said that I would be satisfied with 300 baht, so the 900 was hers. What could I say? I got what I asked.

Gary A Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I doubt they will be too dangerous on a rot Issan, although I think it is a 14 HP so maybe pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzarella Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Old tires with 70000 Km on it, are a very good replacement for 20 bath planters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 if they are 345/30/20 in size I'd be keen on them to use for mock-up on my Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
