Short of ebay and classified adds is there a simple way to get any decent money from used tyres? I'm looking at getting a newer car and my current car is worthless as a car, an online scap thing said they'd give me £130 for it and collect it and take it away. The thing is though it had five new tyres in september and has done less than 20 miles a week on them, added to this I have 5 spare wheels, one with a brand new tyre on it and four with semi legal tyres on.

If I can part ex my car for decent money I won't bother but If I do scrap it, what would be the best thing to do with the tyres?

what car is it and what tyre size

96 vauxhall vectra, 15's I think on five stud wheels, rated to 150 mph. I'd have to check to get all the other info.

if they are a good make and model of tyre you have a better chance of getting money back but its still ebay gumtree local ads

if your only doing 20 miles a week is it even worth changing?

I'm going to be commuting again and I can't afford 12 mpg on the miles I will be doing.

What sort of vectra gets 12mpg?!

One with a 2.5 litre engine that sits in heavy traffic. The area around where I live has heavy traffic at almost all times because it links the M4, M5 and M32. I'd probably get more than 12 on the route I'll be taking in the new year but not much more, and beyond that it currently requires alot of maintanence and is a bit of a lemon so I want a car with good odds of getting to work everyday.

They were cheapish tyres (£70 each) so not exactly desirable but from the sound of it might be worth putting them on ebay and seeing what happens, need to sort another car first anyway so no hurry.

They'll probably be 195/65R15 which means they're fitted to literally millions of cars as it's a very standard size (e.g. Passat, Octavia, Toyota Corolla, etc.)

List them on ebay with the size in the title, and make it clear that you're selling the tyres (with 7-8mm tread), the fact they are on Vauxhall steels will be less valuable than the tyres.

You should get a decent amount for them!
