bangster Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Tire 1 is 6 years old, and 5/32 of tread (2/32 is the wear bars and when they should be junked), I say that if you don't need to pay to trash them you are ahead of the game. 3 mismatched tires is a hard sell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbf2530 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi FordFusion. Are you asking us what we think they are worth, or just listing them for sale? If you are asking, then I agree with what bangster stated. The tires are not worth much of anything. If you can get $25 and not have to pay a tire shop to dispose of them, take it. Also, as bangster mentioned, tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch. Not millimeters. If we misunderstood, you were not looking for opinions and were only trying to list them, post back and I will remove our comments from your thread. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirtanon Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If you can get $25 per tire for those, you'll be lucky. Assuming they're all of similar age and in similar condition, they're not worth much, especially Tire 1, as others have pointed out. Even with 5/32" tread left, at 6 years old, they're nearing the end of their life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFusion00 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thanks for the replies. Didn't get an email notification that I received any so I am just seeing them now. I have a tread depth gauge and it does 32nds or mms. Sold all 3 for $25. The guy said he wanted them for a 15 inch trailer. They are not 9 years old. Bought them in perhaps 2014 - definitely still older. Don't know how many miles I put on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Glad you got a little something out of them. I didn't mean to sound like you couldn't sell them, or that there isn't a market for used tires, and I have bought and used plenty of used tires in my day, they serve a purpose frequently. In the one image you posted, you can see the DOT number of 3313 which is 33rd week of 2013, so close to 6 years old. Generally once installed and out in the elements 6 years is when tires start to degrade in a manner that starts limiting their life or makes them ripe for failure not related to road hazard. I have ran much older tires, but I have also suffered some catastrophic failures on tires with lots of tread left but old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
