It’s true that at Discount Tire some of our stores stock and sell used tires—especially lightly used OE tires that we don’t let go to waste when customers want to swap to a different tire category or larger tire size. That said, we don’t recommend opting for used tires unless you absolutely have to.
Can you get a discount on used tire rubbers?
Plus, If you’re buying new tires and getting them installed, you can sometimes negotiate a discount on the installation by exchanging your used rubbers. You may not get cash , but it’s better than paying in full for the installation and then a disposal fee.
In theory, the answer is yes. The online marketplace can really be a free-for-all. However, it’s very important to be upfront about any repair work that have been done to your tire .
Why buy used tires from trust stores?
Trust big online shops that provide solid guarantees and perform serious inspections of each tire in the stock! By doing so, you can get yourself a set of tires in perfect condition with a significant discount , up to 50% and more. Are all used tires the same?, and definitely not!
There are shops that sell used tires, usually in the lower income sections of most towns. They don’t pay you much for used tires nor would a tire store. Craigslist has served me pretty well for things like that but it depends very much on the area in which you live. EBay reaches a wider audience and shipping a tire is really not a big deal .
Is it better to buy used tires or new tires?
Used tire shops do a safety inspection, but make better offers often cause they take in resellable tires . Tire salvos on the other hand, they really once over the tire, don’t ask many questions, and make you a standard offer. They are much more liberal and a good option if you have less tread depth.
