I'm considering swapping out my 205/45/17 Pirelli Pzero runflats (11k miles) for a set of non runflats. Rotated twice and still have lots of tread.

What is everyone doing with their runflats when they swap before wearing them out? Are you selling locally, online or just making a tire swing out of them?

 

Have sold many used tires both on Craigslist and vehicle-specific forums for those who want OEM tires for a reduced cost.
Clean, document, and post them up; they will go quicker then you think.

I sold my hated RFs on E-Bay. Almost made back as much as what I paid for the new regular all seasons.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I've had a lot of success with Craigslist in the past but haven't see too many RFs for sale. Unfortunately, like most, I'd like to know how much I can get for them without dismounting them and buying new tires. Seems a bit tacky, and inconvenient for the buyer, to sell a set still mounted on my wheels.

Thanks again.

 

How much measured tread is left on the tires?
Seeing that the P-Zero's (in 205/45-R17) are approximately ~$190 new:

And a typical equation of used tires [what I've used with success]:
(New price) x (number of tires) x (% of tread left) = price
$190 x (4 tires) x (% of tire left) = price

If there's 50% tread left, then:
$190 x (4 tires) x (50% tread) = $380.

But, its based on market demand; if there are buyers wanting them right for top dollar, the selling price can swing higher.

I've been buying and selling auto parts for years, even tires, and didn't realize a formula like this existed. Like you mentioned, market demand will dictate (and my ability to 'sell' ) how much I can get but this helps a lot.

Much thanks Erik.
