tire price

[retire2$]

I have a used pair of 23x10.5x12 Sears 2 ply turf tires mounted on Craftsman tractor rims. Tires are in good shape. Anyone know what a fair price would be?

Dh says $50 more or less, depending on condition of the tires (weather cracks, amount of tread left, etc). He owns a tire store, so knows what they would be worth in our area, anyway.

Treat 25 % tred as 0 then they are worth half of the percentage of tred left.
For instance they had 1 inch of tred new so that .75 inch is the usable part . Now they have .45 inch subtract the .25 which is the end of life and you are left with .20 of usable tred..20/75 or 4/15 of a new use divide by 2 and you get 10/75 or 2 15ths of the new value.
If you gave $150 apiece they are worth 20 bucks now.

The real price is what you are willing to sell them for and what the buyer is willing to pay. Unless you sell a lot of tires and have store to sell from you can't just set a price and wait until some body comes in and agrees to pay that price.

Tire value depends lot on how much the seller is willing to stand back of them if they fail. Used tires with no guarentee are worth very little as they are pure gamble.

I would think $25 to $35 each. These are for a riding lawn mower, right?

I'm with Clovis on this one, good tires $35 decent $25 anything else is a minor barter item.
