Selling the stock tires...SUCCESS!!

[JLam]

I found a buyer for my stock Bridgestones.

$350 for 4 tires.

You people said it couldn't be done. I was told I'd be lucky to get $50/tire. I sold them for $87.50 a piece. Naysayers, all of you!

Seriously, it only took a day, and I found a buyer on craigslist. I still think $350 is a good deal, considering tirerack.com is charging $110 each plus shipping. With shipping, that's $500 bucks to buy them new. I don't feel like I'm ripping anyone off.

Anyway, I just wanted to offer some words of encouragement to anyone who's trying to get rid of the stock tires. It CAN be done.

What's craigslist?

[JLam]

Seriously?

www.craigslist.org

That's the San Fran page, but there's a page for most cities. Clicky the linky on the main page for your city. If they don't have VA Beach, they'll have something close to you.

Cool, thanks b'cause i've never heard of it. I'll be selling my tires too within the upcoming week when my BFGs arrive.

Dude, Craigslist is awesome. Just heard about it 6 months ago. Went to sell our BMW 325. Listed it in the paper, auto trader, & with classyautos.com. Didnot get very many hits at all. Then someone mentioned craigslist and bam, we got 3-4 calls right away. Just make sure you type www.craigslist.com and NOT www.craiglist.com (this is a porn site). Those silly sites will do anything to drum up traffic.

Jlam, good job. I too will be selling tires as soon as a good lift option is available. Are you keeping your rims or are you switching them out as well?

[JLam]

I'm keeping the rims. I'm not made of money.

I Sold My Tires Last Thursday For $300.00,
New Rubber
Goodyear Wrangler At/s Stock Size
Super Great Look,
It's A Good Tire Too, As Most Of The Time I'm On The Road , So Using A More Agressive Could Be Louder On The Road. Those Are My 50 Cents
Cheers

I sold mine on Craigslist for $400 as well. Craigslist is great for local sales!!!
