 o donating tires?

Posted by pawprint1 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 10, 05 at 15:18

I have a "like new" set (4) of mounted tires with hubcaps.
Goodwill won't take them.

I hate to throw them out. What do you suggest?

Funny thing about trying to sell stuff, or give it away..,, it can be a lesson in futility..If you have a popular car and advertise, I would think that you would be able to sell them - for a fair priice...PITA Spell Check is not working now !!

If your near a big city use http://www.craigslist.com free to post. Cities are listed on the far right. Your email addy is annonomousized!! cheers

You also can try contacting local schools (high school and later) which teach auto mechanics -- there's even a local church here that has a "car repair ministry" which fixes and reconditions cars for people in the area who really need reliable wheels. I don't know if there would be an insurance liability issue, but a few calls wouldn't hurt and definitely would get you an answer.

You can try a local gas station or tire store. I gave a local tire store a pair of studded snow tires mounted on 15" GM type steel wheels. I knew they sold both items so even if they didn't want the tires due to age or whatever they could still sell the wheels. There's a market for extra wheels in my area.

I'm trying the http://www.craigslist.com first. If that doesn't work I'll go down the list you all gave me.

They really were great tires but they will in no way shape or form fit my new car.

I have had luck using Craigslist.com Its a great service. USe it for finding odd jobs for a bit of extra $$ and getting great tickets to sporting events and good prices. Best of luck. ensure you annomousize your email addy to cut down on spam!

A big cardboard sign reading FREE TIRES AND WHEELS attached to four tires stacked neatly out by the road typically moves them pretty fast.

ditto the above. set 4 tires and rims on the curb with a free sign, gone in 20 mins.


 o RE: donating tires?

I've already had 4 interested ppl from Craigslist.com!
They should be gone by this weekend.

I don't get it but, my 19 year old son replaced the tires and rims on his Audi A4. I don't see a big difference between the new ones and the old ones. That was the only gift that he wanted for the holidays.My husband said "go for it". My son is happy as a clam.

Now I have five 16inch rims and tires in my garage. The rims are all in great shape. A couple of the tires are shot, one has never been on a car, and two are good. I can't pick them up. I want them out of here. If someone wants them, they can have them if they will donate what ever they want to, to a charity that I like, or the redcross.

If you teach me how to send a photo on my cell phone (I know it can be done, I just dont know how) I'll send you a photo. You would have to arrange to pick them up. I live in central NJ.

I don't want any money for them. please don't give me a hard time. Figure out if you want them and how you will arrange to pick them up before you email me.
