Will you need snow tires again next winter?(4) Toyo Observe Gsi-5 tires with Toyota 16x6.5 rims (no TMPS sensors). Came off a '13 or 14 Camry
Ran these this winter, 9/32" left.
What would be a fair selling price, as I will be taking them off in the next few weeks.
TY
I paid $300 for a set of amazing snow tires that had less than 3000 miles on them, considering that they were ~$185 new. If he had the correct wheels for my car included (regular steels) I would have easily given him 40-50 $'s for each one. People try and charge stupid amounts of money for snow sets with TPMS sensors up here. Average set would be asking 900$ on steel wheels with TPMS sensors. I think my quote to be very fair for the tires considering he states there is about 9/32" of tread left on a tire that was manufactured with a tread depth of 12.7/32" new.I think some tend to overstate prices on here for others and in reality, we wouldn't pay that much for it off some random stranger.
If he asks for $300, they'll sell right away, he'll probably even have re-sellers looking at them for that price. He's in Minnesota and I'm assuming they have heavy winters there. I'd be willing to be a lot of people use snows up there, more so than in the area I'm located in upstate NY.. I'd guess that if he waits until next fall, he might be able to at least sell the tires at the $500-$600 range.Asking $300 they should sell fast for around that, if they all have a minimum of 9/32 and worn evenly. Anywhere near $400 will probably have to wait until fall. I've paid $400 for a similar set of x-ice but they had only 2/32 of wear and it was November.
I think your right, I was thinking pre-covid pricing but those tires are probably now $160+ each....If he asks for $300, they'll sell right away, he'll probably even have re-sellers looking at them for that price.

OP: How bad are the winters in your area, how long is there snow on the ground there. I'm curious now...
