There's a 55 mph two lane per direction road near me that has horrible drainage and I've noticed a little gliding lately.

I had an incident a few years ago where my car slid about 6 ft toward the median on that road and I'm not taking any more damn chances!

I thought the old ones looked good enough that I wasn't paying$10 each to let the shop 'dispose' of them. The are craigslist bound

Is the nail extra?

I don't live in a snowy area so I don't really have any idea how well all season high performance tires should work in the snow. Good idea staying safe. It's a little tough spending $800 and getting about half the mileage. I agree, those tires have plenty of life outside of winter. What size are they?

I don't see much on top of the wear indicators. Looks like you should have let them have those. The ten bucks is supposed to go towards the disposal of the new tires, how they get away with charging it, keep your old tires or not. If somebody let it slide you are well to the good.

Check those little wear blocks on each tire. If none of them are touching on a tire it might get somebody past one inspection.

I would be hard pressed to get anything for them here but nothing ventured, nothing gained. You can always try. Wouldn't say my market was the greatest but the last set of all terrain tires I sold, I paid $168 each, before mounting, balance, taxes and such. Fifteen thousand miles later I sold them for $168 total for all four tires including the factory chrome rims the tires were mounted on after the engine went south in the truck. Then I gave the guy eight dollars back. I was just damned if I was gonna sell four for less than I paid for one!

I thought they should have been worth a lot more but a handful of people looked and turned up their noses before the tires sold.

I saw a guy sell four pool cues when none cost more than fifty dollars new for $600 total though and somebody snapped them up! All four could have been bought for a hundred total and had enough change for lunch.

Sell them and report back. You may be like the guy with the pool cues!

I've had decent luck selling old tires on craigslist...not a retirement plan though!
